I need you guys' opinion. Pretend that both the 9800 and the Q are both out and both have the same price. I dont do much online, but im looking for a cool phone. Not doing much email but alot of texting and alot of calls. What should i take?

get the 9800, you wont need a data plan (44.99 for unlimited) and it is great for txting.

Yes you need it! I didn't think I did. I had an LG 7000 and was content with it. I got the 9800 and I don't know what I would do without it now. 😉 It's my calendar, alarm clock, camera, internet at work when I can't get on a specific site because of security, mp3, syncs with my home email, vcast, instant messenger, text, notepad, speakerphone, has bluetooth like the razr too.. good speaker sound, good quality pics... and most of all durable. I can't begin to tell you how many times I have dropped this thing!

i would prob. take the 98000 only for the fact that you wouldnt be using anything that the Q has to offer... and i highly doubt that the 9800 and the Q would ever be the same price. the Q is more of an online and e mail phone while the 9800 you can txt and make phone calls and is not a PDA type phones...you can check e mail on the 9800 and also use instant messanger..thats just my opinion
