Moto Q Rumored To Be EOL?

According a forum member Moto Maniac who works as an engineer for Motorola, there will not be another Moto Q. The same story was also confirmed by another Motorola engineer. Everything Q has contacted Motorola for confirmation, but there is no official word on the status of the Q. The last known release is the Moto Q11 and that has been limited to outside of the US, although it was expect to make a December release in the US. Rumors of a Verizon release of the Moto Q codenamed "Napoleon" never came to fruition, despite photos of what appears to be a production model showing up in July of 2008.

The Moto Q Napoleon apparently ended up being sold as part of government contract. Napoleon featured a unique fingerprint scan, WiFi and GPS.

 Over the past few months, there have been plenty of rumored Motorola smartphones, but it's unclear if they will rollout under the Q brand. The Motorola Attila and Alexander feature a vastly different form factor. More recently, images that appear to be concept photos surfaced.

Is this conjecture? Most certainly, but there are substantiating facts to support claims that Moto will end the Q brand. New form factors and phones that run the Android OS are most likely the reasoning. Motorola will continue to make smartphones, it's just not clear if those will be  a 'Q'. Certainly not welcome news for the members of Everything Q, a community that just recently celebrated it's 100,000th member.

Removing the Q from Motorola's line up will be a sad day when there is so much that could still be done with this smartphone.

See you super smart pc. c0mp science guys cant even do the simplest thing, block a guy from a site. I will tell u, I am moving in a few hours so you will be unable to track my ip address and you butt thumpters would think you would at least stop me from posting under the same login. BTW in an adult forum why is it again I can use adult language !so you never curse in real life ? if so u are in the minority. I want you to take two, maybe three of your fingers and place them deep inside my rectum (is that pbetter than plunging the deep into my ass hole. just want you to massage my scrotal sac while pressing intensely on my prosate! smilies/wink.gif
