Does anyone have any idea when Sprint will get some decent touch phones, from Sanyo, Samsung, or even Blackberry? Seems like all the other carriers are much more advanced with handsets than Sprint.

Theres gonna be two Samsung Instinct this year, one will be a Mini. And another Samsung device with Android.

However, the Pre looks pretty promising. I'm not a fan of slider phones but I love Palm OS. If the new OS in the Pre is as reliable and user friendly as the 755p then it should be a big hit.

There's rumors about an Instinct 2 and a mini-instinct coming but I don't know how exciting that really is.

Personally, I believe the all-touch screen phones will eventually phase out. Most people who get them end up getting frustrated with the on screen keyboards. It seems as though people buy them for the "wow" factor. Once everyone owns an all-touch screen phone it won't ...
