AMEN on the Storm comment. I work for a helpdesk and we all recently ran back to our AT&T Blackberry 8120s and 8820s after 2-3 months of Blackberry Storm hell. Never have I picked up an older phone and fell in love with it all over again. The Blackberry Storm has a laundry list of issues that literally SLOW productivity in any work environment.

As for the HTC Touch Pro, believe me buddy... I was there too. I decided to tough it out, though. I had the piece of crap swapped four times in a 3 month period before I finally got one that works the way it should. The device is slow as molasses, gaining at most, a usability grade when dumping a custom ROM on like Juggalo or Mighty. Right now I'm running a stock sprint rom with a modified page pool and the standard hacks. I've disabled touchflo and I'm using PointUI instead. Things have been good so far.

Blackberry is probably the way to go, as long as you realize they aren't perfect either. I have lots of friends who are pleased with their Curves. I'd probably switch too if I wasn't in love with the overall functionality I've gained with Windows Mobile. I love being able to browse files on my device and do whatever I want with them. The only other platforms offering that freedom are Android (like we'll ever seen one of those on Sprint) and Symbian (I know we'll NEVER see one of those devices.)
