I loved everything about the phone, but the phone. I personally think it had a lot to do with it being GSM.

I had been on verizon for years and was very comfortable and used to the CDMA technology. GSM sucked for me because my wife (among others - but mostly her) would not talk to me when I was on it because of the volume of the ambient noise. If I was ever in the car she would just hang up. I had never had that problem before GSM.

I have a feeling that is not going to be the case here mainly because my wife's company gave her the sprint version the other day and I know from talking to her that hers does not have the ambient noise problem.

There will definitely be things about the Q that I will miss - camera being the biggie, but there will be things I don't (shi**y OS that doesn't even have a cut and paste feature and freezes regularly).

I wasn't aware that you could be on a BES and BIS at the same time. That is good to know. I think my problem has been solved. Thanks for the help guys.
