He told us not long ago that he was getting a &#8220;Q&#8221; &#8212; and I have to admit it sounded perfect for someone like me who studies the Gospels to have a phone called &#8220;Q&#8221;. Luke got one, likes it and told me it would be perfect for us: we can access the internet and it is user-friendly.<br \/>\nWe ordered our &#8220;Q&#8221; online (with Verizon) and it came yesterday. Last night we tinkered with it enough to figure it out and so now I believe in Q!<br \/>\nAnd to you who got the Apple IPhone, how do you like it?
