Update: Yeah, so it's also available in Black, er, Licorice as well. Serves us right trying to post a story during a 20 minute layover. Sorry there. Please disregard the catty comments about color availability below.
Engadget Mobile is reporting the only good Motorola news we've heard in weeks - that the Q9c is going to hit Alltel and US Cellular for just $99.99 after contract. That's the good news. The bad news is this decidedly business-friendly device (We said of Sprint Q9c that “the C is for Corporate”) comes in a decidedly un-business-friendly color: Lime Green.
Now, we always come down on the side of offering devices in several different colors, but there must always be a conservative option on every carrier. The business set needs to have something relatively plain, folks. Not to mention that there may be some folks who look at this green tint and think “The C is for Yeecch!.”

I gotta wonder... why is it that the colors are "un-business-friendly"? Heck... many blackberries were blue for a while... what makes blue more business friendly than green, particularly when so many people and companies like to tout that they're "going green"?
Of course, I can't argue with anyone who just doesn't like a particular color, and I think color choice is the best...
Unless it's an attention-getting color, such as perhaps flourescent hot pink, or sports-car yellow, color ought to be OK for business.
