Motorola’s Q11 adds WiFi, drops 3G

18619_motimageHello MOTO, or should we say hello MOTO Q11? Motorola’s newest evolutionary (at best) Q-series device is due out in December and adds few new bits and changes from the Q9 that arrived last year. The most noticeable addition is the availability of WiFi, something that many readers can’t do without on a phone these days. WiFi is supplemented with out-of-the-box support for Boingo, which is a nice touch. Then again, there no mention of 3G, so you you’ll be sacrificing one radio for another here. The camera sensor gets a boost up to 3-megapixels, but the 2.4-inch display stays status quo with QVGA resolution of 320×240.GPS for location-based services is starting to take off in the handset market and the Q11 will ride those coattails with integrated GPS. The question as always: which carriers will enable that out of the box and which will try to charge you for navigation services? Motorola is listing this as a GSM phone and while there might be future models for Verizon or Sprint, you can bet this one will show up on AT&T or perhaps T-Mobile’s network.Windows Mobile 6.1 is the operating system here; no WinMo 7 just yet but folks can always hope for an update. On the inside, the device is powered by an Intel Bulvarde chip, just like the older models, although Moto hasn’t outed the speed. All in all, I’m underwhelmed, but I’m curious to your thoughts.
