The Motorola Q smartphone is getting pretty old and crufty these days, and can't do a lot of the cool stuff that newer Android and iPhones can do but... apparently it still has a few tricks up its sleeve, including the ability to play streaming Internet radio using the free Pandora service.
The Pandora website claims that only the newer Motorola Q9C is supported. Indeed, if you visit the Pandora website from your Q's browser, you'll get a message saying that it's not supported.
However... if you download the pandora.cab installation file by spoofing the Q9C's User Agent string, then it will install perfectly on the Motorola Q. You can also find copies of pandora.cab on a few sites around the web.
I've been listening to Pandora on the Q while writing, and it works great. This is gonna be excellent for listening to music on long car trips. Just make sure you have a power cable, because, even with a good cell signal, Pandora seems to drain the Q's battery in under 2 hours...
