>> Thanks, Kevin, for pointing out that the Q was available through Verizon.
>> I

>> CDMA and A T and T runs on GSM, the Q one can get from Verizon versus the
>> one from A T and T must be somewhat different. Also, as I have said, never

>> installing Mobile Speak on any phone I get. I probably can get a Q from
>> Verizon for less as an existing customer than from A T and T, so the
>> overall
>> cost difference might not be that great.
