Default Buy Now or Wait

So originally I was going to buy a Q back in November, but given the iPhone rumors I wanted to see if it would actually be released. Nonetheless, I won't be getting an iPhone because I don't really want to leave Verizon for Cingular.

So my question is: do I buy a Q now? My fear is that Motorola has to come out with something to replace the Q soon, right, I mean it is nearly a year old. Any rumors as of yet? Time frames?

While at CES this year, I didn't see anything other than the Motorola Q-Pro which is black. If you want a smartphone and you have Verizon (which in my opinion is the best network) then go and get the Q-Pro.

Some reviews are now coming out from CES, so you can wait and read about what is coming out in smartphones and pocket pc. Most of the new stuff at CES are coming out the first quarter.

Good luck.

Since you're in college, I'd concentrate on something other than a cool smartphone. Wait till you can afford one. It'll cost at least $120/month just to have service, in order to fully take advantage of it's features.

Ever since I have been a cell phone user I have always battled the question: Should I buy this phone or wait until the next version or next hyped phone comes out? I have learned that now matter when or what you buy, there is always something bigger (or smaller) and better just around the corner. So don't get too caught up in waiting or you may be waiting forever.

I'm not sure what your campus is like, but a phone with built-in WiFi might be more productive. If I was still at VT (where WiFi was all over campus), I would've gone for the XV6700 instead.... and now with the new Samsung coming out with WM6 Crossbow, I'd probably go with that next month.

as someone who is now on his third phone in the past 12 months (razr > bb7130e > blackjack), i can safely say that there is ALWAYS going to be a new iphone-like device coming around the corner. something is always better and badder. if you can afford it, keep upgrading. if not (like me now), find something that you like and you can keep for a while. stick with the Q. it has a great user base, great message boards, and is open for customization in ways that other phones arent.
