Re: ROM Kitchen
Since the Q was CDMA only, no GSM folk got involved and in turn no one with experience on ROM cooking has attempted to make a custom ROM e.g. the community while large, is behind in real technical knowledge.
Maybe when the
GSM Moto Q comes out (and has WM6) you'll see some more action.
Re: WM6 and the Q
Sprint was reportedly testing the beta on the Q and it was on a few tester devices. There seems to have been technical issues and other behind the scene happenings which caused Sprint to backout.
Re: CDMA Q q9h rumor
A WM developer spoke with Moto Engineers and they have stated
no CDMA Q q9h but rather a new CDMA/ Rev A Q is being developed.
PocketPCMag actually
calls it the Motorola Q2 and is exactly that: a newer Q, not Q q9h.
Quote:
The Q2 is similar in size to earlier versions of the device. It has a slightly faster processor and more internal RAM and flash ROM for data storage. The Q2s QWERTY keypad has larger keys than earlier versions of the device and has a 2 megapixel camera. This is another quad-band GSM/EDGE-capable Smartphone that includes Bluetooth capability, but not Wi-Fi. A CDMA version of the Q2 is also expected.

Verizon is also slated to get a device called
Motorola M (q9m) on 7/31 which engadget calls their
"iPhone killer":
Quote:
Details are on the slim side, but reports suggest a 3 megapixel shooter with a large QVGA display and lots of internal storage.

Some speculate that this IS a CDMA variant of the Q q9h (mostly b/c of the name) but engadget seems to believe it is something else as do I. Afterall, the Q q9h while a decent device is hardly an iphone killer.
So there you go
