I have sprint, and actually I did look at the htcs. I waited an extra month for the htc touch pro (the upgrade from the htc diamond) since it has a face similar to an iphone, but with a slide out qwerty keyboard. I really thought that would be the one, and after trying it out, it was so hard to navigate and a pain to type things on. The keys were square and wedged together, which made it impossible and the touch screen keys were smaller too. I had to work so hard to move a few pages. The stylus helped, but not by much. The silver backing felt somewhat flimsey also, like the keyboard could break off or get stuck when pulling it out and pushing it back in. The idea was promising and I almost bought one sight unseen, but luckily I didn't. I'm not completely unhappy with treos and like touchscreens, but I'm just in the market for something different so a blackberry isn't out of the question either.
