We're eligible to upgrade as of today... discounts are really lousy compared to 2 years ago. Don't think I'm going to bother.

waiting for Touch Pro for realz keyboarding ability. Been planning to toss my HTC Apache for a year now, but it keeps working fine and won't break. Would like something a bit thinner and speedier. iPod Touch synched with Exchange immediately after 2.0 upgrade yesterday, so iPhone 3G may be in contention w/ Touch Pro this fall. :pirate:

i haven't decided if i want the keyboard or not. i have one with my treo and it's nice but i've heard the htc is much easier to type on than the iPhone, which was nearly impossible for me. in fact holding the iPhone for more than a few minutes made me want to chuck it across the room, that pinch and move shit bugged the hell out of me. i'll have to wait till i can get both htc's in my hands before i decide. i've heard the slide out keyboard one comes out first. :hoos:

That would be nice if the keyboard version comes out first, but I'm guessing it will lag the touch only version by a couple of months.

The iPhone/iPod Touch keyboard is fine for half sentence replies or responding "OK", but I'm with you on not liking it for any real use.

Wait for the SonyEricsson X1

"Future Sony Ericsson phones launched under its new Xperia brand may not be based on Microsoft Windows, the handset maker said at the launch of its digital marketing campaign for the Xperia X1 on Monday."

i need WM for sure or Palm, which i am sick of completely. also doubtful that this phone would come to sprint anytime soon. cheap data plan + 25% discount keeps me there.


sucks to hear about the diamond keyboard...i heard fairly positive reviews. when it shows up at my door i'll likely decide then. i will not like having to go back to using a separate device to open lockboxes. :( why couldn't they just have a damn IR port...fawking phone has everything else. :banghead:

have you looked into the Diamond Pro? it may have the IR port you want. My brother was saying it has a slide-out hard keyboard which is better than the one on the soft one on the Diamond

i'm sure it has other applications but the only thing i need it to do is open up lockboxes.

Meh, I use my phone as a phone, and occasionally text message or take a picture. I even have a "Walkman" phone that I have never bothered to put music on. I canceled the Internet service for it 'cause I never used it.

Better hope Palm doesn't go belly up since it is trailing Windows Mobile, Blackberry and Apple. Apple might even file a lawsuit over what it thinks are infringements on intellectual property.

well i use mine for all sorts of things. email and unlocking RE boxes are high on my needs list.

:wifey: uses her Blackberry phone for all kinds of stuff as well. E-mail, looking stuff up on the internet constantly, calender/schedule, etc. etc. etc. For some people tons of functionality is a big plus.

I'm curious though, what do you mean by unlocking RE boxes? You look-up or get e-mails for the code?

our boxes like a lot of the country are controlled and opened via an IR device. the palm frees me from having to carry another device. currently i carry a 700p.

x2. i have no interest in the pre. even if it had IR the new OS scares me. palm is likely to die and i don't want to be stuck with a useless device that nobody is developing apps for.

rumor is that sprint will release the pro on sunday. the wait is killing me. i'm so sick of my 700p.
