My useless, not-what-you-wanted-to-hear reply:

Switch to Cingular and snag the new Samsung BlackJack i607. Cingular has HSDPA service where you're at which is 3g broadband speeds like Verizon's EVDO.

This way you'd be like having a Motorola Q but without all the software troubles and whatever else the Q is known for. Unless of course, this Samsung turns out to be just as buggy as the Q.
