The memory issue is still a big one for a few of us. I personally like the Touch Pro, but really hate its slider. The Palm Pro is a one-hand device (for the most part) and that is a feature I like. Before I move to it though, I will definitely wait due to issues I had with the 800W.

Wow, thats a loaded question if I ever saw one.

It really depends on how you use your device. I had a 6700 before I got my 800w (I know, different devices but still very similar) and I loved the slide out keyboard and large screen on the 6700. I didn't think anything could replace it until I got used to easy one handed use of the 800w. This is pretty much the deciding factor between these to different styles of phone. Now I can't give up the one handed ease of use of a front facing qwerty keyboard device.

If that doesn't matter to you then you may want to consider how much customizing you want to do and what device features are most important to you. The Touch Pro is the way to go if you want to mod and customize your device to no end. Its enough of a factor to me that I could probably switch to the Touch Pro and still be happy. Right now there is nothing happening with the Treo Pro as far as custom roms.

Sprint does have a 30 day return policy so I'd suggest just picking one and using for a few weeks and then try the other for another few weeks. After that it should be pretty easy to make a decision.
