Launched in 2006, this device was part of the Q series, targeting a segment that required a smartphone capable of handling productivity tasks while still being user-friendly.

One of the standout features of the Moto Q is its QWERTY keyboard, which allows for efficient typing, making it ideal for emailing and messaging on the go. The keyboard is neatly integrated below the display, providing a comfortable typing experience that many users appreciated at the time. The slim form factor of the device, coupled with the keyboard, offered a unique combination that distinguished it from other smartphones available in the market.

The screen is complemented by support for a range of connectivity options, including Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, allowing users to stay connected at all times.
