Well, "flat price" should be $249 not $300 and no, the phone is not ready yet for release, so I would not hold your breath.
I'm pretty positive "sprint partners" are definitely near the bottom on the "need to know" status of devices and see no reason to take their word.
Re-flashing ROMs can be done in 2 days, that's not the issue. Fixing (whatever they are trying to fix) and getting the device cleared is what matters now.

Having been using
the Sprint Treo Pro for 2 weeks now, I can tell you it is very good but "
the best phone Palm has put out" is a little bit of hyperbole/opinion
And like every WM device, it has quirks and things not to like about it e.g.
the buttons are terrible (too flush, bad location--I always end up turning on Wifi during a call since it is on the lower side); the stylus is metal (yay?) but is a tiny stub that is 3/4 the size of the 800ws; annoying standard WM problems like alarms/alerts going off in the ear speaker while on a phone call; the screen guard is huge and blocks your SMS message; Live Search is outdated from months ago yet is in ROM; I switch between 1x and 3g more frequently than the 800w; data connection is wonky; email vibrate is 4-5 seconds long, which is overkill; 528mhz is not really that fast on here; too little RAM; IE6 really sucks bad; touchscreen is not too sensitive; no LED flash etc...
Still, it is a nice device. Just not perfect. Nothing is
