I'm liking the sound of this...

The bomb was dropped at work Monday that my work and carrier (Qwest) is going with Verizon staring this summer and dropping Sprint! Up till now that meant a 9M I believe and would so much rather have an C!! Kinda scary to even think about letting go of my trusty original Q but I knew it would happen someday. Or does Verizon still offer the original for new customers? Either way I will be for sure staying with a Q (diehard).

It will be a forced migration so I am hoping for the best!!

I've beem waiting for this release. Gonna have to give VZW a call and see if they will sell me one a few months before my NE2. Hopefully they will go for it since I am going to upgrade my wife to the Q1 which means extra money for them every month.
