Motorola Q q9 coming to AT&T?

Is this depiction of the redundantly-named Moto Q q9 in AT&T livery utterly Photoshoppable? Yes; but is the idea of the q9 coming to AT&T completely believable, too? Yeah, we'd say so. This hot little image, while grainy, clearly shows that stylized new-style "globe" logo we've been seeing as of late on its rear and bottom -- and with support for 3.6Mbps HSDPA data, GPS navigation, Windows Mobile 6, and Opera out of the box, we're just fine with this turning out to be legit. The tipster tells us that it won't be called the Q when it comes to the US' largest GSM network, though whether it retains the "q9" branding remains to be seen -- as does a release date. We suppose we can bide our time with an Amoi-sourced SMT5700 while we wait.

[Thanks, anonymous tipster]

I want this phone, but for Sprint.
I wish there was some news of a release date. If it comes out in the next few months, I'd wait. But I'll go regular Q if I get too antsy.

Q just came out on Sprint. I doubt seeing the Q9 soon on that network. Verizon is another story, their Q is 1 year old.

"...clearly shows that stylized new-style "globe" logo we've been seeing.."

Does the q9 have a thumb wheel? I can't find a mention of it.

This is hot, this is the phone made me get wet, I'm so excited I could just spit

[Miacol @ Mar 9th 2007 11:46AM]

The Q9 and GSM Q are for GSM users Cingular, opps I meant the new at&t and T-Mobile (isn't time they changed their name too, VoiceStream (I liked better then T-Mobile), Omnipoint, etc) users. The Q9 or whatever they are going to call it is hot, can't wait for this phone to replace my blackjack....

I am a sprint customer for longest period of time, and bought the PPC 6700 the week it came out (1.5 years ago), and getting really antsy to upgrade, not sure I can live with Sprint's 3rd class phone selection for a long time.

When will Sprint get it? One of the top reasons people change mobile phone companies is the next coolest handset and Cingular totally gets it...Look at the subscriber growth...

Only if Cingular would cut their data prices to Sprint's level, I guess that is the price you pay for cooler phones...

perspective pic looks aboslutely faked. Plus the phone is butt ugly too. I'm calling fake on this.

i've been tracking the new moto q phones. i'm a sprint customer. question, did motorola present the models to all of the companies or just to at&t. cause they are getting alot of the new models. can the othee companies get some love too.

[tjoseph30 @ Mar 10th 2007 7:34AM]

will this type of phone reach another carrier like sprint or verizon or am i asking too much?
