I've taken a pass on every phone that I've been offered due to my contract being expired and Sprint wanting me to re-up for 2 more years.  I was tempted by the HTC Touch Diamond/Pro.  I kind of liked the Pro with the slide out keyboard.  I was hoping for a flip-style blackberry/palm/winOS type phone but nothing has come out like that for Sprint.  This Palm Pre looks good but I'll have to see how big it is since I don't like big phones like the iPhone or Instinct.
