Best Sprint phone?

**fishingmedic** · #1 (**permalink**) 08-04-2009, 09:57 AM

I currently have an Omnia through VZW and will be upgrading my Sprint phone shortly. Was planning on getting a TP but reallly know nothing about any of the phones on Sprint other than the TP and Diamond and don't know much about those anyway, i.e. the good, bad and ugly of the phones. Any recommendations of either the TP, diamond, wait for the TP2, or anything else. I'm also trying to watch my bank account so I need to take that info consideration also. TIA for any help/recommendations!!

This may not be an option, but if you can exercise some patience, you may have plenty of options.

Its been rumored that by the end of October, we may have: Touch pro 2, and the Hero.

These will be added to the Pre (which is currently available). There are also rumors floating around about the Diamond 2, but IMO these are less substantiated.

I think right now is a time where patience will really be a virtue with regard to Sprint.

I agree. If you can't wait...it's the one of the following, depending on what OS you like best:

1. Touch Pro - WinMo
2. Palm Pre - webOS
3. BlackBerry Tour - BB OS

Well said, for right now its a waiting game.

I'm eyeing the HTC Hero as I'll be bouncing back & forth between WinMo & Andriod.
I'll buy another Windows Mobile handset once a Windows Mobile 7 (Windows Phone) from HTC, comes into play.

I've got time, I'm not in any rush. I currently just have a regular phone from Sprint and I also have the Omnia through Verizon which I've enjoyed toying with and flashing new ROM's to. I like WM, but I'm not well versed in the different OS's and what can you change. I don't want a phone that I can't tinker around with, but honestly haven't had the time to search each forum here to figure out the pluses and minuses to each and every phone, i.e. TP, diamond, Pre, etc, etc so I was looking for some opinions from the people that use them each and every day. I'll just wait it out and see, and maybe even if I go w/ the TP or diamond, once the latest and greatest come out, the prices should drop I assume. Thanks for the info!!

Well I think you would be better all together going to ATT and getting an iPhone, The best phone ever!!!

HA!! Yeah right. Wait a little while and you will probably be more than happy.

Back to the white chip I guess. But I did notice that you never said I was wrong.
