If the v82 will work on Verizon I suspect you could get it to work. It
makes sense that other networks will eventually work with this software
hardware configuration. If not at time of first shipment than
sometime thereafter. I have the same problem here at work and will
eventually need to cross that bridge for our own needs but likely will
not do that for a month or so.

Hi, Brett,
I'm with Verizon Wireless and I don't want to change networks. The
Motorola Q does have a camera in it but I don't know what kind. I
already have MSS installed in my phone.
