MUMBAI: Motorola and wireless telecom service provider Tata Teleservices have announced the launch of Moto Q in India.

Custom-built for customers who multi-task and need flexibility in today’s fast-paced business environment, the Moto Q’s signature style is built upon the design revolution created by the Motorola Razr.

Based on a Qualcomm Multimedia Platform chipset, the Moto Q, which runs on the Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system, delivers an uncompromised mobile experience in an all-in-one handheld device that combines the reliability of a great phone, personal productivity capabilities, powerful enterprise connectivity and entertainment in a thin and stylish form factor.

Motorola India mobile devices VP, GM Malcolm Dawe says, “The Moto Q is a real must-have device that enables true seamless mobility by liberating all of us from the constraints of our offices and living rooms. Moto Q brings together all converged solutions users need to work, stay in touch and have fun. With the best voice, data and design technology in one ultra-thin, intelligent, hard-working device, the Moto Q enables increased productivity and entertainment on the go.”

“At Tata Teleservices, we believe in constantly enhancing both our services and product portfolios. We enjoy great support from our customers who have chosen our service, and believe that the introduction of the MOTO Q will only reaffirm their belief in us being the right choice as a telecom service provider.”

The Moto Q looks to redefine what customers expect from a QWERTY handheld. With the Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system, the Moto Q puts an 'intelligent' device in users’ pockets by providing enough power to let them leave their laptop at home and be able to check e-mail, view presentations and documents, and stay connected while on the go.

The Moto Q offers built-in multimedia functionality and Bluetooth stereo music streaming. The product launched with Tata Indicom is pre-loaded with the full-length Bollywood movie Dus, five MP3 songs and customized wallpapers.
