unfortunately, right now theres only the answers that are already available..

the Epic(Galaxy S Pro) looks like the next big deal for sprint...

since you dont want to change carriers, which i dont blame you on, your going to stay limited in options..

sprint seems to have released their last few years of smartphones without the keyboard first, and a revised-keyboard eidition second.. examples being Diamond & Touch Pro.. EVO & EPIC.. with the Touch Pro 2 inbetween those 4.. so thats 5(TP2incl) of sprint best phones in the last almost 3 yrs...

dont expect anything new from WinMO, what the point if you think about it.. just to put the same 6.5 already available into a new shell?? its not worth it... nothing from MS like you said, for who knows how long..

i would expect several months(to maybe a year or more) atleast that the next BIG devices of sprint will be android only... of course were talking about REAL phones here, not jankie flip-phones and non smartphones.. but since MS has no clue whats going on, Palm being bought by HP, and you not wanting Blackberry or iPhone... its definitely looking like a drought may be coming for sprint...

after the Epic or whatever its called, noone really knows whats next on Sprint, especially given your "guidelines" you have for a device youd actually want.. not much else one can say right now
