Marcus Perryman writes about the new Motorola Q Smartphone.  Expected release is Q1 of 2006.  The device used to be called 'RAZORberry' which I think is obvious what market they are going after.  They also may be trying to grab some market share from the treo.  Below are some pictures of the Q, the BlackBerry 7100g and the Treo 650 (obviously not to scale).  Don't forget with the Windows Mobile 5 Messaging and Security Feature Pack the Q can have push email with device management with no third-party servers.  With the recent BlackBerry outages why not look at having your email pushed straight from your corporate servers using Exchange SP2 instead of through a third-party proprietary server/network your enterprise has no control over.
