Does sprint now have the crappiest selection of PPCs?

Is there a decent replacement for the TP1 in the works for sprint?

I don't check phone news often but, I've been waiting for something better than the TP (TP2 isn't an option IMO) and there seems to be no word of anything good for sprint at all.

At&t and T-Mobile's are already too far ahead. I thought that Verizon's selection was crappy but with word of the Snapdragon processor ppc, the droid and the Omnia Pro B7610, I'd say they have some great things coming.

The Omnia Pro B7610 and Passion would be instant buys for me if they were released for sprint.

sorry if I sound ignorant and maybe I haven't kept up with the other carriers but what exactly do they offer currently that sprint doesn't? Verizon has the Imagio(hd) and of course the druid soon. Tmobile has some very old Android phones and is getting the Cliq eventually. And att has the iphone..... IMO this list isn't all that spectacular and definitely isn't "too far ahead" as OP put it... What am I missing here?

Well, VZN is releasing 2 new Android phones Nov. 6th. One of them you've already mentioned, Droid/Sholes, will be the only phone available in the US with the 1GHZ Snapdragon processor at that time. Then the Dragon/Passion is rumored to release before 2010, also with the 1GHZ Snapdragon and the 4.3 inch screen. At this point there's not even a credible rumor of sprint recieving a Snapdragon phone. Some are hoping that the HD2 will makes it's way to Sprint, but so far the only real info shows it going to T-Mo. What it boils down to right now is that the other carriers have what sprint has, but sprint doesnt have what the other carriers have, like the HD2, Sholes, Dragon, and the Imagio. That could all change next month, but as of right now, thats how it is.

EDIT: It has come to my attention that the Droid will NOT have the 1ghz processor and will in fact only have a 550mghz processor, still a good phone, but not the processor I thought it had.

Sorry about not replying sooner. Well, let's see. Sprint has the Hero, TP2, Pre, Pixie, Tour, Moment

Okay.

VZW has "Hero" (Droid Eris), TP2, Tour.......AND Pre (2010), AND Motorolla Droid, AND Motorolla Calgary, AND Tour2, AND Curve2, AND Imagio, AND Omnia 2, AND HTC Passion/Dragon (Did I leave out any?) Oh yeah, AND the Storm2

So yeah, Sprint sux.

But it's better than T-Mobile. T-Mobile has TP2, MyTouch, Clique, and the Nokia N900 (kick *** phone though! ), and the Behold 2 and the HD2....hmmm...maybe Sprint isn't better than T-Mobile...

But it's better than At&t!!! They just have the iPhone...though I think they are getting the Curve2...so yeah....Sprint's better than AT&T!

sprint still has a nice selection of pda phones.. while some may not be as advanced as some of the new releases coming to verizon or t-mo. or att..u still will same a heck of alot of money staying with sprint.. Im sorry im married with 3 girls.. so my opinions are based on that fact..lol the money i saved with sprint goes back into things like xmas and bdays etc.. i used to be young and spend a crap load of cash on things but if u dont be careful that will catch up to when your older.. save money live better..wait didnt walmart say that,lol

I wouldnt be too worried if I was on Sprint, I'm sure they'll release something good soon.
