As
expected, Verizon and Sprint have given Motorola a venue for its latest and greatest hardware today, releasing the
Q9m Windows Mobile smartphone and
RAZR 2 V9m flip respectively. Though the media centric Q9m's $350 price on a two-year contract ain't exactly pocket change, it's interesting to note that it whittles right down to a more manageable $250 after rebate -- a mere $20 more than you'll pay for an old school
Q Black. Meanwhile, minions from the other side of the CDMA camp (yes, we mean Sprint) have prepped the V9m for launch today at the same $250 price point after rebate, making it the first of
several US carriers committed to a RAZR 2 launch to actually get it out of the door. If everything goes the way we expect it to, both of these devices will land on the other carrier in the next few weeks, so the "grass is greener on the other side" effect should be kept to a bare minimum here.

I got my Q for $79. I would probably be _really_ disappointed if I spent that much money on what's turned out to be a really lousy phone. (Well, at least it didn't crash as much as my treo)
I personally prefer my Q to the Q9, though I'd love some WM6 action.
which one runs doom better?
The real question is, which one blends better?
In before "shut up with the Doom/blending comments!"

i paid $150 for the black Q shortly after it was released. i think the silver Q was $150 at the time. the new Q is not worth $250... especially with the ridiculous data plan verizon tacks to it (which i don't have, because it's so ridiculous)
Isn't it maybe even more ridiculous to own a Q without a data plan? I'm just sayin'.
I have a Q with no data plan. Seriously, I pay less for my nice cable connection at home than I would for Verizon internet. And I'd hate to use the little crippled browser that comes with WM.
ok now where is the xv6800?
