Any suggestion?
IF your on a new plan probably the EVO..or Samsung has a 4g phone with android planned over the summer(hopefully with a keyboard)...

If you don't want android the best phone now is probably the Touch Pro 2...and if swapping service and no keyboard the HD2...

In fall is when HTC with WP7 will come out supposedly with wimax...

so what exactly are you looking for? what complaints or what do you wish to improve with what you have now?

Re: Looking for a change

My complaints so with my current and ex-phones is really speed. Flashing custom roms does not really help with the speed. Some chefs do some pretty amazing job but speed has always been an issue with me.

I am also tired of Windows phone and I would like something new. I am seriously considering android.

I want my keyboard, but I am willing to try something new. Also 'cause the way I see it is that keyboards will ultimately be done away with so I might as well get used to it now.

I am currently on the SERO plan. The EVO sounds good but wouldn't it require that I change my current plan (which i do not want to do)?

My guess is samsung will have a keyboard phone with 4g with android but they would definitely ask you swap plans..and probably their new 10$ fee..

Also sprint wont let SERO have android phones ever..that is their policy...

your option now would probably be a TP2..it works on SERO and is probably the best one for SERO now..I wouldn't say its completely lag free but it is a lot smoother then a TP...You can get a used one for around 150$-200$ if you look around...

There is also an Android port going for the TP2..Though the original TP probably has a better Android port you really start appreciating the TP2 screen size and TP2 has a dedicated number row...

So I'd say a TP2 would fit you best.

Re: Looking for a change

I don't mind the TP2 as long as I am not paying for it. And even if I do get it without paying for it, I know I will want to get rid of it after a few use. It's just not what I am looking for. It's the same line of the same phone. It's probably the reason why I haven't gotten it yet.

I did not know I'd have to say goodbye to sero for an Android phone. I guess it's time I consider leaving my sero.

I just spoke with a Sprint Rep and the minimum I would pay for the EVO would be 69.99 + 10 before tax.

I will have to give this some thought.

The Moment by Samsung looks promising and I am considering getting that for the wife.

Well a TP2 isnt really an improvement over a TP as it is what a TP should have been in the first place...aka they fix most of the issues that plagued the TP.

That said if your gonna go EVO..you can get an EDRP plan and/or business discount for cheaper and dont just give up your sero..contact sprint and have them give you the 20/24 thing which is $20 off your bill for 24 month for getting rid of your sero.

You can also test drive an evo for 30 days on a new line and return it..or if keyboard is important and your not in a hurry there is what samsung plans to offer later this summer.

Edit:

If your looking at the samsung moment I would wait to see what samsung offers..if it is the Samsung Galaxy S pro, you and your wife I'm sure will be both happy...I know I will lol
