Sprint's Motorola Q9 / Q9c gone for good?

First things first: this isn't the first time (in the past quarter) that we've seen a handset vanish from Sprint's website, only to get fanboys riled up and it reappear days later when stock refreshed. That being said, quite a few Q9 / Q9c users are thinking the smartphone may be gone for good from The Now Network. For starters, neither phone is listed on Sprint's website. Furthermore, we're hearing reports that "discontinuation" has been confirmed by a number of Sprint representatives, though no official word seems to have leaked out just yet. Curiously enough, the carrier just posted the Windows Mobile 6.1 update for the Q9c earlier this month, giving us at least a reason to believe the lights aren't shut out entirely just yet.

Moto Q9c ended June 3rd and should be completely eliminated by the end of July

This isn't the only Smartphone Sprint has nixed off of its website. The fabled Motorola i930 got the can about 2 weeks ago. Amid problems of the phone not being able to compete on the "Now Network" due to Sprint's inability to keep the WiDEN protocol up and running, and a lack of progression in the PTT/WinMo market, it looks like Sprint might be hanging the concept of "Get right through with a PDA too".

Im taking my q9 back for the third time and this time getting a samsung ace. the q9 is plagued with problems.
Locking up all the time, doing weird text things like it is out of memory etc. I hate this thing.
