Alltel, US Cellular to Drop Lime Green Motorola Q9c, also Licorice

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!.”
