The FCC has given its approval to the Motorola Q.

Typically, this would mean that all the details on this upcoming smartphone would be posted on this U.S. government's web site. However, because of a confidentiality request, this hasn't happened.

Still, there is an image in one of the test reports that clearly shows a Motorola Q with the Verizon logo on it.

Motorola had previously announced that the Q will be available first from a carrier that uses CDMA, but this is the first time that there has been any hard evidence that it would be Verizon.

What little information the FCC is revealing on this device can be found on its web site.
