Motorola are responding to the raft of new QWERTY smartphones like the T-Mobile Dash by announcing the first major upgrade to its super-slim Q. Called, unimaginatively, the Q Pro, it will squeeze updated hardware (as yet undisclosed) into a black casing and come with the company’s own MOTOPRO Mobility Suite, back-end software that enables remote device and application management such as disabling the built-in digital camera.
Other improvements include a firewall, email encryption, support for VPNs and intrusion detection, all headline-grabbing stuff in the business world where Motorola have definitely set their sights.

Well, the hardware is probably impossible to upgrade, while the case is feasible I suppose but only if some third-party decides to make replacement shells. I guess it all depends on how reliant the new software is on the upgraded Pro hardware as to whether it’ll be possible to upgrade the current Q.
