I would greatly appreciate it. Right now it is a toss up between the Touch Pro and the Blackberry Curve.

I've heard horrible things about the Instinct. Even playing with the demo for 5 minutes in the Sprint store, I could tell it isn't all that it's cracked up to be.
GPS does lag behind a little. I believe there is a thread trying to figure out how to minimize the lag time.
It does hav text to speech to give you turn by turn directions which is accurate for the most part. I haven't done any tweaks to improve the sound so the speech can be a little low sometimes when the radio is on. But that is fixable by using the audio tweak that is available.
If you like being able to customize your phone, you can't beat the TP and winmo. I like being able to add my own personality to the phone, but that's just me.
I feel like the overall usability/functionality of this phone is excellent. Having a full qwerty keyboard is a must on a multimedia phone for me. I hate pecking and not having any feedback when typing, ala Iphone/storm/etc. I came from a motorola Q, which has a full qwerty keyboard similiar to that of the curve. You always have to lock it when you carry it in your pocket and it is always exposed obviously. There towards the end of my 2 year contract some of the keys on my Q were stiff and didn't work unless I mashed on them. Nt only that, but it's ugly and the keys were tiny.
At first, my typing was slow on the pro, but after a few days I can type pretty fast without making a lot of mistakes. Pretty important if you are typing/replying to emails and texting. This phone comes pretty close to being a good all in 1 phone. Wifi, data, email, video, audio, decent camera. I believe you can get FM to work? What more could you possibly want/need in 1 device?
I give this phone 2 thumbs up.
