Verizon's exclusivity over Motorola Q will soon be over because Sprint's Motorola Q is on its way, and although there is almost no change except for the black paint-job and Sprint branding, users from USA will be able to choose the provider they think is more convenient.

Motorola have in a way applied their specific design to the Motorola Q as well considering the fact that it is pretty slim, measuring 116 x 63 x 12 mm and weighing just 115g.

Overall, Motorola Q is pretty good looking and looks nice both in black and in silver, although the black version that Sprint presents might look somewhat classier. The Q also features the QWERTY keypad with electro-luminescent keys that will make the handheld very popular among users that message and edit documents frequently.

It is a pretty nice device for both free-time use and work and comes equipped with most of the features you would need such as a 1.3 megapixel camera with video recording capabilities, Bluetooth and Infrared for connectivity, Mp3 player coming 'in a pair' with stereo quality speakers and the oh-so-necessary MiniSD slot for memory expansion, seeing as you can never have enough storage space.

Motorola Q is - of course - Windows Mobile 5.0 powered, coming with all the usual Windows Mobile software, that you can enjoy using the 65k color TFT screen the Q is equipped with.

According to rumors, Motorola Q will arrive on Sprint in approximately a month's time, probably in early January, or maybe even a little sooner.
