I dont see the major hype for the keyboard either... I rarely ever even slid mine out on my tp2 and I have a 3gs, a nexus and a hero now and I can text as fast on them as I could on the keyboard in landscape mode. Plus android 2.1 has voice to text... which i'd say is generally about 95% or so accurate for me so half of the time I dont even have to use the virtual keyboard.

im a BIT dissapointed with no release date mentioned, and even so "a summer" release..
its gonna be a long couple of months..
and no telling what else will be coming out within that timeframe..

they need to release it now, get the ball going, get everyone on board with sprint while they still can.

According to Sprint, It's still on the testing stage as of now.

Phone looks really nice But >>

1) I would most likely have to change my plan. I am on a Free & Clear 2000 minute plan which includes a line for my Mom, for $99.00/month. So far, Sprint Only Allows me to purchase a New device, without changing plans, if it is a WinMo phone, which this is not.

2) I can always get my Mom on Boost, and switch plans, but I am used to Windows and all the applications I use, and I don't know how Windows compares to Android.

Any thoughts regarding the above?
I am currently using a Diamond, which I have gotten used to..with it's frailities sp? and all.

Yo I was thinking about doing the same thing! Hell I'll go back to using my old Diamond for a couple months til this beauty comes out!

I've been reading and digging all day and I must say I'm siked but the only thing that scares the crap out of me is (knowing how Sprint is and they are pushing the 4g aspect of it really hard) I just know there will be an additional monthly fee for the 4g part??? Seems inevatible
Well they finally got me off of my free and clear plan so now I'm on the everything plan and I'm fine with that but I simply can not take another hike to some sort of everything pluss pluss crap just to be able to run a 4g phone that does not and will not have 4g in my area for quite some time...
The final price of the phone after new contract will be high, we all know that, Sprint is famous for that!! And I can deal with that because this phone will deserve it to some extent... Well more so than most of the phones in recent memory BUT another change in plan sturcture will be the final nail in the coffen for me. Sadly I will have to pass on the phone and probably Sprint too for the next couple of years at least...

Is there any rumors on plan structure changes for this phone???

Sadly after 9 years with Sprint... I'm gone...
After tomorrow... (hd2)
I believe I would have actually stayed if this thing was going to run on WM... but running on Android... He!! no!!!
Specs are nice... HD2 here I come...

I'm gonna hang on to my Touch Pro and I'm due for an upgrade in May so as soon as this things available I'll have it! I kinda wish it had a real keyboard too but I watched the video and I gotta say with such a big screen I think I can manage even with my fat fingers!LOL Sprint, all I've got to say is.....
