Finally, we have some sort of word on the release of the Motorola Q. Since CES and even before, this phone has been highly anticipated. After seeing it in use by Dale Coffing, a one on one with the device myself, and a Microsoft Exec at the MTV/MS Party at CES using his, it’s been a long 3 months waiting. Many, including myself started speculating that the Q was not ever going to hit.

Now we have some progression. A couple weeks ago we posted that Phone Scoop had video up showing the Q and it was complete with the Verizon logo. Now a promo webpage on Motorola.com shows "Available April 2006".

For those living under a rock that have no clue what the Motorola Q is, here are the specs:
• One of the first devices to run on Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0; Optimized for Microsoft Exchange 2003 and a variety of third party email solutions that enable a broad set of corporate email capabilities*
