I'm an Android guy but wp7 looks nice. I used it for a couple Weeks before the mango update and it was nice. I tried it for a little bit after mango update and wp7 os is very smooth and sleek. If a nice phone comes out for Sprint I will definitely look into it. Especially with all this carrier iq stuff. It looks like wp7 phones aren't that into it.

@yankees45us just look for a cheap HD7 on Craigslist or eBay and then get on one of those cheap T-Mobile monthly4G plans. U can then keep it concurrently with ur sprint phone, but u'll have 2 phones to carry tho.

Re: What part of WP7 do you guys like? Sell me on WP7 :P

@aedon - regarding SERO, if you are currently on SERO (not a SERO lookalike), you 'should' be able to dial *2 on your phone to get directly to the folks who can access SERO accounts. Also, if you log into your sprint account and use the contact us link to send them an Email, it should get sent directly to the folks who can access your SERO account. (I've tried both and it worked each time).

Regarding purchasing a device, yes, a store usually can't do that (well, technically, they can, but they have to call the Sprint team that supports SERO and they don't want to spend time doing that).
You can call telesales, or you can also go to a local store like bestbuy (unlike radioshack, BB reps often will spend the time calling the sprint Sero team). The easiest option would be to purchase the phone and don't have them activate it. You get home and activate it on your own (that's what I did for my EVO 4G - but went to BB only AFTER changing from SERO to SERO-P. The $10 surcharge for 4G got added on when I activated).
My friends have instead ordered the device at bestbuy.com and had it shipped to their residence un-activated and then, they activated it at home.

Back to the topic of the post (OP) though
I'm also waiting to see what WP7 can do... (waiting on my Lumia 800 to be delivered). Eager to develop apps for WP7 - but want to see how well it works in real life first!

I posted a link on another forum, and basically, I can not get past some of the limitation on WP7. Perhaps I am not up to speed. The link is here. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/general-wi...ml#post2172747
