It may just be that the Motorola Q11 we chatted about in early September is a real set, is coming to market, but unfortunately doesn’t seem to be as Alexander-like as we’d hoped. Apparently packing Windows Mobile 6.1, WiFi — hip, hip, hooray! — GPS, and Bluetooth, it does indeed seem to be a step up from the Q9 floating about at this time. No thoughts on release date, carrier availability or pricing, but we’re just happy to see Motorola’s up to something. at this time how about you use some of the wasted real estate at the bottom of that device and make that display a wee bit bigger, OK Moto?

Sony Ericsson itself showed off its XPERIA X1 handset in a webcast the other day, but if you just can’t get enough of it (and, judging from the number of comments the phone has gotten, plenty of you can’t), you may want to hit up the::unwired website, which has an even more extensive hands-on video of a pre-production unit. Among other things, it shows that switching from portrait to landscape mode takes far less time than before, and the all-important panels seem to be a good deal more responsive as well — the build being used is from early September, so it should be a reasonable indication of what the final software will be like. Hit up the link below to check out all sixteen minutes of it for yourself.

Remember that wild, sporty W6 that Moto unveiled a few weeks back? TmoNews is claiming that T-Mobile will be picking up a suspiciously similar handset known as the MOTOACTV W450 in early September. There’s really not terribly much continue in this place other than water resistance, apparently, with a 1.3-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, media support with microSD slot (the phone’s designed to be jogged with, after all), and that’s pretty much it. Fortunately, the pleasure of shrieking at your own yellow keypad should only run you $30-50, so they say, when it launches.
