Unless you are computer literate, know about forums like these, understand what registries are, arent afraid to screw with your device on a daily basis, and understand that you must have some sort of knowledge with what is involved with WM, these phones are not for you.
Now take the Pre for example. It is what it is. You take it out of the box and that's about it. You then can play. Download some programs....Nice and easy! I have been using WM since the 6600 and they have always done a ton more of things then regular dumb phones but it never really made a difference to most people.
You need to look at the big picture here and not just on these sites. I think we are lucky Sprint even gives us what they do. Granted, WM devices are breaking out a lot more into the spotlight, but they still have a long ways to go. It it wasn't for the iPhone, I would say half this community would probabaly still be blind to these devices.......

I would have to disagree, I'm an IT tech, so I love tinkering, but I know several people who use these phones stock and have no clue as to how to change advanced settings or reprogramming. They may not get as much out of them as we do, but they enjoy business and phone capability, as well as the "small laptop" factor. I feel Sprint could push all of these a little harder, and maybe we wouldn't be the vast minority forever.
Anyway, back to my original question, has anyone heard anything about how much this will cost?
