Motorola announces Q8 and Q9

Q8 you say?  I’ve heard of the Q9, but what’s this with the Q8?  The Q9 is the UMTS/HSDPA, probably soon to be announced on the new AT&T (and available in Italy soon), and the Q8 is the GSM/EDGE version.  Why would an OEM release a GSM device today that is only EDGE capable, particularly when they are also releasing a UMTS/HSDPA version?

Maybe someone who knows Motorola’s roadmap can explain why they did that.  Price point?
