Motorola Q11 smartphone without 3G

Motorola Released its new MOTO Q 11 smartphone, a device that started popping up in South America over the past week. The Q11 looks similar to the company's Q9c and Q9h smartphones, but sports an updated body design and has had its feature set whittled down a wee bit to make it more affordable. To that end, the Q11 lacks any kind of 3G connectivity at all and makes due rather with quad-band GSM/EDGE support, though it maintains the same Windows Mobile 6.1 operating system. The MOTO Q 11 features a 3 megapixel fixed-focus camera and a microSDHC(INFO) card slot for up to 32GB of storage expansion room. Like the Q9, the Q11 sports a 2.4", 262k color QVGA resolution display and offers GPS functionality. It even comes equipped with support for the latest Bluetooth 2.1 standard as well as WiFi. With its standard 1170mAh battery installed, the Q11 measures 117mm x 64mm x 11.7mm (4.6" x 2.5" x .46") in size and weighs a respectably light 115g (4.1oz). The battery should last for up to 450 minutes of talk time or 8 days of standby time. The battery can be recharged through the Q11's standard micro-USB connector. The Motorola Q11 is expected to be available for purchase in December of 2008. No pricing or specific market availability information has been provided at this time.
