Question...
Since I'm getting the new Q sometime tomorrow, do I need to cancel my vpack, and get a data plan? Or does the Q still allow vcast iwthout a new data plan?
...
No, VCAST won't work on the new Q or any of the smartphones/PDAs for that matter. VCAST will come off your account when you change to the new Q
...
I justed talked to a rep. She said that the Q does support the VCAST pack. Video and music. Is that true? Was I mis-informed. $15 v-pack + $44.99 data too?
...
I thought the Q and the Q only...supported vcast? Its part of its multimedia functionality.
...
to be honest with you...I'm not sure, I just thought you could use vcast...i'll guess we'll know for sure in a couple of days.

They have a new service for at least the Q right now called vzw appzone. Ithink if that works they are going to put it on other pda's as well.
...
just call customer service, that way you know the answer you get will be correct.

Sorry Phone Mechanic, but the New Q 9m does support partial VCAST. Go look at the Verizonwireless.com website and it says it supports VCAST Music. If you look at the screen shots everywhere, they've got there Verizon branded GUI which includes VCAST.
As for is it a seperate charge on the Q9m that's a good question. This is the first smart phone with any VCAST compatibility, but I'd put money on VCAST costing you a little extra.

the q as well as the q9m supports only the vcast music application at the moment, there are rumors of video support, but as of now you'll only have access to the music store, sorry ☹️.

You can access the music store without having a data package because you don't get charged data as long as you don't try to go to a different site. You also can't have the VPak, only the regular data package if you want.
...
? you will still be on the web using kb's on the music site. That shoudl still charge per kb if you have no pack
...
hmmm, that just doesn't seem right to me, does it charge airtime? I mean get it know is vzw app, but you use airtime with that
...

No.
...
My understanding was that you need the 44.99 data pack like any other pda, but the new Q will have access to the vcast music store and have vcast music software loaded.
...
I hate to say it, but from my experience, if you are pulling any...and I mean any data over the air that is not customer service oriented data on a PDA phone they WILL charge you. VCAST enabled or not the system is setup where if you have a smart phone, it charges you by the KB, so bend over and hand in your wallet. Charges for VCAST on smart phones seem to be you pay a charge for access to the content, then you pay again for the content then you pay a third time for downloading. It can get rather painful fast. If you have any doubt about what it will cost ask your rep ahead of time and throw out the senarios and see what they say. I'm pretty sure it will be inline with what I'd said.
...
It's in the M&P that it doesn't charge per kb. Only if you try access a different site or 3rd party link.
...
the new SW version of the Q will support vcast music, and they're making a program that is a get it now interface so you can use get it now apps, line the ringtones and vz navigator. but you'll need a data plan to use internet and email, and a voice plan for calling. it wont use your minutes when browsing stuff like your old phone will.
