Im looking at switching to sprint sometime this year. Now, i consider myself to be pretty knowledgeable when it comes to cell phones and technology. I know the ins and outs, but i still cant decide what phone i would want to get. Im looking at getting either the upcoming Palm Pre, or the Blackberry 9630. I know the specs, and ive had a blackberry 8330 for the past year. I want the newest gadget but ive become familiar with the "blackberry way" and i really like it.
