It looks like the Motorola Q is getting a new bedfellow. The SLiM smartphone will no longer be exclusive to Verizon Wirless, says Sprint COO Len Lauer. In a quarterly earnings call held last week, he told investors that the service provider would begin offering Motorola newer phones, including the Q.

It looks like Sprint is trying to get its act together; analysts have pointed to its failure to sell popular Motorola models as the reason for its poor quarterly performance.
