Depending on specs desired, while the Q is being advertised in the DFW area
for $99 by Verizon, the T-Mobile dash is pretty nice at ~$200. In the $200
range are multiple versions of Blackberry from assorted carriers.

My Hitachi cellular PPC lasted longer than Sprint's favorable rates, so for
the last year I carried it and a RAZR.

I want back to a single device for picture and data capture, plus browser
and local files, so I'll probably go for the HTC Hermes when released;
rumored to be $300- 400.
