Verizon finally launches the Q9c
Today, Verizon made available the Motorola Q9c through its business channel and verizonwireless.com. It is expected to hit retail stores in the upcoming weeks. The Q9c is a more business-friendly update to the Q9m that ditches the flashy red accents in favor of silver trim and gets rid of the music-centric homescreen. The major difference is that the Q9c is able to use the VZNavigator application for GPS. However, unlike Sprint's Q9c, the GPS is locked down meaning that customers cannot use free alternatives such as Google Maps. New and upgrade eligible customers can snag the device for $149.99 after a $100 online discount and $50 mail in rebate.

Yes. All smartphones need a data plan.

Not necessarily, I got my xv6800 with out a data plan, but I plan on getting one soon because Verizon lowered the price to $30.

actually the only phones that REQUIRE a data plan are the blackberry devices. data plans are recommended to avoid outrageous data fees ($1.99 mb or 1.5 cent per kb) but they arent mandatory on the other smartphones/pdas.

no you dont.. but to use Vz Navigator, email, picture/video messaging, or the browser... then yes. you would. Verizon does allow you to block data. But then why would you need a PDA/smartphone ???

this is not true, as i know for a fact that vz does not require any pda phone except a blackberry to carry a data plan.

There is so much misinformation here I had to comment. I have a Q9c with verizon and you don't need a data plan. You also don't need data for VZ Navigator or picture messaging. VZ Navigator uses air time to download maps. Picture messaging is a text function and I have unlimited texting. I have had it for 6 months with no data overages as I am pay per KB. They will try and force you to get a plan, but I declined saying that I realize how not to use the web browser.

Can I use a Motorola Q9c for Verizon Prepay

I have read a bunch of comments saying this phone does not require a data package, but they are all from 2008. Is that still the case?
