The documents confirm all the facts previously revealed about the Q. It will be a CDMA EV-DO handset running Windows Mobile 5 for Smartphone. The Q features a QWERTY keyboard, Bluetooth, a 1.3 Megapixel camera and Mini SD slot. All documents in the filing continue to carefully avoid mentioning a carrier for the device, but it is known to be coming to Verizon."</i><br /><br />If you're interested, you can view the FCC documents <a href="https://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/oet/cf/eas/reports/GenericSearchResult.cfm?RequestTimeout=500">here.</a> Otherwise, there is little new information here, except that the Q is finally getting close to shipping. FCC Approval typically means about 2 months before the phone hits the streets or less. :)

I stopped by my local Verizon store and talked with a salesperson and they said that they are getting the Motorola Q and they are expecting it to come out in about a month or so. He mentioned that it has come up in some of their meetings and that he didn't hear of a date of release but they know it's coming soon.
