im kinda interested in the samsung built in wifi and its not all that bulky for a touch screen device its a little thicker than the q and a tad heavier. they advertise less talk time but more stanby time. plus its mobile 6 pro. im kinda intersted in getting something different, though i have grown fond of my Q. i have a couple more months till i have to decide though.

depends on ur needs, id rather go with an i760 coz il have more use on it than a smartphone coz my last phone was a PPC, but since i dnt need a PP right now im very happy with my Q9m since all the applications i need as a nurse can also be put on my Q9m, if u need basi on the go stuff go Q if u need to do more on the go and not want to lug around a laptop get the i760, im gona save up until next yr when newer and better PPCs come out

wow, I didn't realize the samsung was a touch screen. I really like the fact that it had built in wifi, wonder if that drains a lot of battery or not. Also does the q9c have wifi, or does the mini sd wifi drive take a lotta battery life? Basically I need this thing for the Windows Outlook, and was interested in web surf and playing NES rom games on it.

As far as the specs for the Q9c, it looks like they are exactly the same as the Q9m (minus the music homescreen). So it won't have built in WiFi.

From what I've heard the i760 is pretty rough on batteries, but part of that is because the battery that comes with it is really low capacity (although I hear it comes with two batteries standard). So you might just have to carry a couple of extra batteries around with you.

Again, as has been stated, it just depends on your needs. I needed a phone, calendar, to do list, and something to just play around with. So the Q suited me quite well, I have able to replace my old phone and my old Clie with one device.

From what I saw after comparing the phones at Verizon, they have close to about the same battery life with the moto have a little bit more. Now I'm sure that could change drastically depending on how much one uses the touch screen of the Samsung.

The Verizon rep told me that they would be getting in the Samsung on Nov 2nd in the store for me to try out.

Basically I want something to have my outlook calendar from work, play games (Pocket NES), and surf the web a little bit (free with wifi). The moto Q would do that, I'd just need to purchase the mini sd wifi adapter. Now I just have to figure out, which one would game better (with the button configurations). ;)

Personally, I'm not a big fan of the i760's looks:

I like my devices more symmetrical, thank you. Don't really care for a touchscreen either.
