Can't get enough of that Motorola Q goodness? Head to Chiqago, where Motorola is opening a "real-life manifestation of the Motorola brand" called "Destination Q" presumably populated by extremely thin people, one in ten of whom has an odd twitch. (Motorola's always had a few different versions of their device firmware out there at once.) The all-Q, all-the-time display will pop up in the former Terra Museum of Art building at 666 N. Michigan Avenue, from whence Moto clearly plans to place a demonic hex on Nokia's new store opening a few blocks down. To combat Nokia's store, which will offer the European phone-maker's full line, Motorola will also sell non-Q products at Destination Q, which will have a DJ, bar and lounge. Destination Q opens on June 8th. The Nokia store, according to the most recent word I've gotten, opens on June 24th. Why does the Windy City get all the good phone retailers? (And how many times can I re-use that Motorola Q photo?)

Chicago is where the Motorola phone team is located, right off of Michigan avenue. The designers are there too, I believe. That's why they are putting the store there. Helpful to walk by at lunch, I guess. As for Nokia, maybe they want to rub Moto's nose in their designs?
