Now. I have a few questions and concerns, and then I would like your personal opinion.

.. Let's just begin.

For one. Let's settle the whole data plan crap. I have unlimited text and pix messages on my Samsung Alias. It costs $20 a month. Now, I'm not interested in paying the $45 a month for the data plan. SO. If I get the Moto Q/Q9m, then can I do the 'pay as you go' and block the data? Data is only MMS and transfers? I will still be able to send and receive texts (sms)?

Also. What phone do you say? I'm not running a business, I don't need a word compatible phone. I don't need any of that jazz. I'm simply a teenager wanting some hot PDA that can send pictures, and call my friends. With that being said.. I know the q9m appeals to teens more.. But, I like the classy look of the Q. Is the Q all too bad?

If you were in my teenage shoes. What would you do? Would you get the classy Q? Or is the q9m SO much better, and so much more worth the price?

You might want to wait for the Q9c that's supposed to be released by Verizon very shortly. It has that "classy" look you are looking for. It is almost identical specwise to the Q9m, but it will work with VZW Navigator for GPS. They keyboard is also much better on the Q9's versus the Q1, and you would have the option of using a miniSD wifi card for data (they don't work on the Q1's), if you need data and you have access to a hotspot. As for the data plan, you can get VZW to set up a data block, or you can choose pay as you go. If you want an unlimited plan, they also now have a cheaper $29.99 plan for smartphones now, if I'm not mistaken.
