Second, since you bring up the choice of two GSM phones (iPhone and Touch HD), I can assume that you're considering jumping ship from Sprint to AT&T. That's fine, as long as you live in a major city that actually has 3G coverage, otherwise, you're going to HATE the data service (which in my opinion is the only real reason to have a smartphone).
Since you are obviously looking to switch there, why not consider the HTC Fuze on AT&T? It's essentially the Touch Pro on the GSM network, which means you'll get a ton of actual support for it between here and XDA unlike the other two phones. You get the slide out keyboard, relatively small form factor, light weight, sturdy design (seriously the iPhone3G's are pretty flimsy plastic casing), and a lot more useful software and customization options.

For me here's the bottom line, and I do have both.
Iphone 3g(16gb) w/ ATT cost me 330 for the phone, around 130 for the first month, plus 85/mo x 23 = 2 years of use is about 2415.
SERO w/ Touch Pro cost me 330 (after rebate), 45/mo x 24 mo = 1410 for 2 years of use. I do have to mention SERO offer free text, and 7PM off-peak while ATT doesn't offer free text, and off-peak starts at 9PM w/ rollover.

Hey thanks for the input guys.
But sorry, I should have mentioned to not worry about carriers or data service. I'm talkin strictly device-wise sorry. I am aware the HD isn't coming to the US, and that its GSM etc etc...
And, at least 90% I am within Wi-Fi coverage so...not too worried about data speeds.
EDIT: plus, where I am ATT has significant 3G coverage...but of course Tmobile doesn't and they will be
FAR cheaper for my situtation, and with the Wi-Fi I am really leaning Tmobile..
