not sure if anyone noticed, but I think the external memory is mini sd once again. does anyone know if mini sd supports the same features as SDIO? i suppose it all depends on the implementaion in the device. I saw the mention of the MiniSD WiFi so I suppose so, but it will depend on the handset manufacturers whether or not to support it.

External memory is indeed miniSD. 
I am also hoping that the miniSD WiFi will also launch by the time Moto Q launches.

Wish the flash movie had more pictures and some more info (read hardware specs).
This device is super slim... 
Lets hope that Motorola sends out the email on time. Not like the MPx220 announcement. 
And not to forget, Motorola please don't have a special promotion based launch like you did for the MPx220.
I hope Moto has learnt its lessons from the MPx220 launch and also launch failure of MPx.  |

Wow, in the screenshots there is Windows Mobile 2003 to be seen ! So probably Motorola was developing Q already for a longer time..

| Why does wifi sd and mini sd always stick out |
Because if your phone has built-in Wi-Fi then it has built-in antenna for the Wi-Fi but if it has Wi-Fi on the card then it doesn't have such antenna and the protruding part of the Wi-Fi card (that "sticks out") serves as the antenna. I reckon that technically it would be possible cards that don't stick out but reception of such cards would be extremely poor (think of putting your phone into metal box and trying to receive Wi-Fi signal in it)...
