This is ideal for those people who wanted a high-speed internet connection with its integrated Wi-Fi. It uses Boingo Mobile to automatically connect the Q11 to different Wi-Fi locations worldwide. Motorola Q11 is powered by Windows Mobile 6.1 and it gets its data via the GPRS/EDGE connection. No 3G? Yes, it’s not a 3G. Bu at least it has a Wi-Fi. It has a 3 megapixel camera. Not that bad, right although there are already smartphones with higher resolution of camera. Other features include: 64 MB RAM, Bluetooth 2.1, integrated GPS, and a QVGA display. I think the features have almost similarities with Motorola Q9. Well, that’s it! I know more people would still appreciate this smartphone ‘coz it’s not that really bad. But I’m not one of them. Hehe….
