Thanks. I've actually started playing around with Google Sync...getting ready

It's not bad. Now that I've figured out the multiple calendars option in Google, the only thing missing now is a contact sync but not a big deal...

Well, that's another thing. Because if on that day the Everything Plus website has a lower price for the phone, then Im gonna ask for a price match!

I am not eligible for the full 2yr upgrade price of $150 off. Will Best Buy still allow me the 1yr upgrade price of $75 off?

Yes, they will still allow $75 off because it's still an upgrade.

Close. $180 w/2 year upgrade, or new activation.

I just can't help feeling I'll really regret that decision when the 3.6" wvga diamond2 comes out and I'm sittin there stuck with my crappy hvga hero (which the whole ui will be ported as well as android by then to wm anyways). It's a sweet looking phone but just not worth the money and locked in contract.

That isn't the diamond 2. It's been mistakenly called the Diamond 2. But, moving on from that, the Android Marketplace has just about anything you could possibly want from a cell phone. Plus, the customization of the device is nearly the same as with WM. Also, Sprint is going to charge an arm and a leg for the device. Based on the original TP/Diamond pricing combo, you will be paying $400, and getting a $100 MIR, bringing the device down to $300 (The Diamond was $50 less than the TP). This is assuming Sprint carries the Imagio (what you are referring to as the D2). I'll take multi-touch for $180, Alex. Plus, with the Sense UI on the Hero, this will make the switch from WM to Android very easy. I see a lot of WM users switching over to the Hero, and not regretting the decision.

Edit: Although, if Sprint carries the Imagio, the idea of putting SPB Mobile Shell on there, with their Sense UI theme would be enticing. I'd have to see it in action, however, to see if that route is worth it.

i AM talking about the diamond2, what makes you think im mistakenly referring to it? Im using the verizon diamond2 specs (which would have to be the same for sprint since it has fcc cdma approval). there are so many phones and rumors to phones coming out that it could really be anything, but what I am talking about is the sprint diamond2, in the end it doesn't really matter what it is. the Leo looks like the best phone out of all of them anyways. a 3.6" wvga with wm to me is worth $50 more than an hvga android.

dont get me wrong, android has a huge upside and from what ive seen, it is very modifiable and you can put new roms on it and all that. But currently there is no app that I want that I cannot find on wm, plus wm7 coming out to me is too awesome to put my eggs in the android basket just yet. A really good android/rosie port should hold me over.
