I just love the game. I can't get enough of hackey!
Sorry for the aside here, but I figure this is the best place to ask.

I've been in the market for a Motorola Q for a while now, and I'm getting terribly confused by what I see on eBay and elsewhere online.

I've tried checking what the differences are between a Q9/Q9e/Q9H/Q9 Global, etc. etc.
Other forums are at GameFAQs levels of clarity, and if I'm going to be getting one of these phones, I don't want one that's either crippled with locked features or has a lovely firmware or something...

Can someone help please? :)

Q (Q-anything, really) is a junk phone on Windows Mobile Standard which is a junk platform. If you like the QWERTY-bar form factor, good options do exist.

Get a Treo 800w if you're on Sprint (or wait until January for the 850w, an improvement in many but not all ways), get a Samsung Epix or Treo Pro if you're on AT&T.

Change carriers if you're on Verizon or T-Mobile.

No need to worry about carriers there, I'm on Rogers (pay as you go, no less :v:) up here in :canada:

My main concern with any of these GSM models is if I can use the phone by popping my SIM in and also send texts and stuff. Sure, a smartphone is overkill for now as I don't need Mobile Outlook and what have you, but later maybe I'll need it. The issue now is to be able to use the device without having a 3G/data plan.
