Motorola Q or Q9c?

I'm on Sprint and I got the Motorola Q for only $29.99 after rebates which is pretty good and I like the phone and I'm still in my 30 day trial and I ordered the Q9c to try it out because there only charging me $70.00 more for the Q9c.
I want to know if the Q9c is worth the extra $70.00, I usually text, call, im planning on getting a data plan for my email and web, and im real tech savvy so I like to play around with my technology toys

...
Would the Q9c be worth the extra $70 or should I just keep the money and go with the Q and get a different phone later... Money is a really really big factor here too!! I like not spending money if possible

Stay away from the plain old Q, a friend of mine had his unit repaired twice, and then finally replaced still having issues with things like the keyboard randomly stopping to work, sound not coming through the ear piece, and the thing just generally being unstable. They eventually gave him a Q9m, and he couldn't be happier when compared to the old one. This wal all on Verizon, but same manufacturer, and only difference between the m and c variations is the interface, but you may want to double check that.

Hey thanks.. Yeah I got my 9c today and its really nice.. So far im not sure about the keyboard because its a lot different and it needs some getting used too.. but over all I like the 9c even though I had no problems with the Q

Sorry for the double post.. for the life of me i couldnt figure out how to edit my old post...
anyways im thinking of going back to the original Q. Amazingly i think it lags less! and i can type faster on it.. even though that might just be a "getting used to it" problem with the 9c's keyboard... and the old Q seemed to have all i need without spending an extra $70 bucks... =\ any suggestions?

I love my Q and not so much the Q9c. The problem is that the device is exactly the same, just with Windows Mobile 6 instead of WM5. IE lags a lot more in the Q9c as well, it was a complete pain so I got rid of it and am using the Touch and Q now.

I also had a better keyboard on the Q than the Q9c. My bro-in-law has an even better keyboard on his Q though.

Just think of a computer that was OK with Windows XP but is terrible with Vista.
