I know I said I want a keyboard, but im liking the size and features of the new Shift 3D. I dont use my phone for much music or video, but that phone comes with everything im looking for......hmmm!

Don't let the mhz/ghz confuse you, the 800mhz processor inside the shift is a 2nd gen snapdragon..the Arrive and the Evo 4g for example have 1ghz processors but are first gen snapdragons. Even clocked at 800mhz it beats the 1ghz snapdragon on every count and has 2x more powerful GPU. The processor can also be overclocked way over 1ghz..(overclocking on android is easier then winmo)
Shift 3d? never heard of it....

not a problem, Android handles this depending on the client you use..the default client for example lets you merge all your emails into 1...(yes Android actually has decent choices for alternative mail clients)
As for swiping through emails, you mean on the homescreen?

Will I be able to easily take all my contacts, texts, pics, etc from TPS2 via Microsoft MyPhone, and put them into the Droid OS?
|
you can back them up to gmail and there are methods to restore pimbackup and etc..I wouldnt suggest Microsoft myphone because I hear its a dead end..aka neither Android nor WP7 would be able to access it.

neither of those 2 KB based Droid phones really amaze me, the Shift doesnt have the specs, and the Samsung doesnt seem well built from what ive read. I need a tough phone as well as powerful and useful.
|
As I stated above, shift has better specs then you think....as for the Samsung phone, its built pretty well..many people assume that just because its mostly made in plastic and extremely light that its bad build quality, this isn't the case..the lighter the phone, the less damage it takes when it falls...the screen is also made out of Gorilla Glass...
I'm not going to claim that the samsung is indestructible..but I'll assure you its of no worse build quality then the other phones...and if your worried you can always get a case..the specs of the Epic right now is the best slide out kb phone on the market.

Any other phones im missing from Sprint?

With a slide out kb that is all atm :/
My suggestion is to go to a store and try them, then pick one and you got the 30 day policy..if you don't like it exchange it for another
