I recently signed up with Sprint and went Treo Pro > Touch Pro 2 > Intrepid and have finally found happiness (somewhat). Like you, I thought the Treo Pro's keyboard was extremely cramped and just too difficult to quickly type on. I thought the TP2 would be the end-all-be-all phone I've been waiting for but quickly found that I can't live without a 5 button d pad and much prefer a front-facing qwerty. The TP2 is also too heavy. I was initially attracted to the Intrepid by the very respectable ROM/RAM stats. The Intrepid has too many quirks (as have been well documented in several published reviews - several have been addressed in Haus's great thread) to be deemed a "great" phone, but, overall, I've been pleased and feel it's the only viable option for a touchscreen, Windows Mobile phone with front-facing qwerty.
