The Moto Q11 has been making the rounds this week with it's release in Brazil and now showing up on Motorola's site. It won't hit the states officially until December of this year, but we'd thought it'd be fun to see how the new Q compares size wise to the iPhone and the Moto Q9h Global. The Moto Q11 appears to be smaller from all angles, which I'm guessing should be more noticeable during an actual hands-on. When Palm made slight changes to it's Treo smartphone, photos just didn't do justice [...]

Motorola today released the specifications for the Motorola Q11, along with news that the company expects the Moto Q11 to be released in the US in December of this year. Many have bemoaned the omission of 3G, but it appears Motorola is aiming to deliver an nice mix of features at an attractive price point. A recent report said that the average price of smartphones released in the US is $176. Apple's move to reduce the price of the iPhone 3G to $199 has put pressure on vendors to be more aggre [...]

We knew the Motorola Q11 was going to be released in Brazil, but now comes word it will come as soon as tomorrow. ZumoBlog is reporting that the Motorola Q11 will release tomorrow in Brazil on Vivo and Claro. Outside of the lack of 3G (big miss), the specficiations are impressive (WiFi and GPS). Impressive enough to jump from 9 to 11, we're not so sure. The unlocked price is a whopping $899 US. No word yet if this will make it's way to the US.

The Motorola Q11 appears to be close to release, well at least in Brazil. The rumored specifications are surprising to say the least, with the Q11 offering quad-band EDGE and no 3G. We have certainly seen different variants of the Motorola Q  series, so it's entirely possible that a 3G version of the Motorola Q11 lands on our shores, if it is indeed slated for a US release.

Other specifications of [...]

Adobe Photoshop.com Mobile is scheduled to be released in beta by the end of September. Not available as of today, the application will allow users to upload, view and share photos online from your phone. As of now, the Moto Q 9h and Moto Q 9m are supported. Surprising, the Moto Q9c is not listed among compatible phones.

A data plan is necessary, as you view your photos and albums from Photoshop.com. [...]

Up until now, Motorola and the Q series have been developed on the Windows Mobile Standard platform, but the company appears to have their sights set on Android.

The company has expanded their Android development team from 50 to 350. Motorola has been part of Google's Open Handset Alliance, but perhaps there is a renewed faith in the Android OS after last week's successful T-Mobile G1 launch. Reports that Verizon representatives were seen at a recent Android developer conference could a [...]

Photos of what appears to be the Motorola Q11 surfaced yesterday courtesy of our friends at Mobility Today. The Moto Q11 appeared in the Bluetooth SIG product just a few weeks ago when there was speculation that it might be the rumored Moto Q codenamed Alexander. From the photos, the Moto Q 11 appears to be more of a variant of the Q9 series, but with some specification upgrades. The Moto Q appears to have GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth, Windows Mobile 6.1 and a 3 megapixel camera. No word on yet on th [...]

Motorola has released the Windows Mobile 6.1 update for the Verizon Motorola Q 9c. Existing Verizon Moto Q 9c owners can find the update at Motorola. Windows Mobile 6.1 offers a host of improvements, most notably sliding panels that now grace the home screen and threaded SMS.

The Sliding Panel plug-in offers quick, at-a-glance information of the clock, notifications (including voice mail, missed calls and [...]

A listing for the Moto Q11 has shown up in the Bluetooth SIG product directory . The listing is described as a "Phone, Handheld" running Windows Mobile 6.1. The question is whether this is the Motorola Napoleon or Alexander that have been rumored. As Engadget appropriately points out, we've jumped from the Moto Q9 to the Moto Q11.
