There's no release date yet, but you should hold out for the Palm Pre. Should hit Q2 '09, and should be rad as shit. I think the deal is it releases to Sprint a few months before other carriers.
I guess I've been leaning towards the lotus. It's kind of goofy looking though. On the plus side, I always have tons of shit in my pockets, so maybe it will save space.
btw ian, i suggest you go see the sprint store on 72nd and dodge. i complained about how i never got my rebate 3 years ago and they gave me an extra $100 off the phone on the spot! if you just slightly whine about something they seem to cut you a good deal. (i would suggest making something up, like you didn't get your rebate 3 years ago and it was for $100) also, wear a low cut shirt.
that's because sprint is hemorrhaging customers to the other carriers at an alarming rate. i put my phone on standby for two months when i went to the Philippines, and when i turned it back on they started charging me for *3* lines of service. on one phone. i hate those fuckers so much.
i did get a number for their escalated customer service department thanks to consumerist.com though and they ended up crediting me back most of the overage. if their everything plan wasn't $20 bucks cheaper than verizon i'd have switched.
incidentally i have a blackberry and it fucking rules. i have the 8830 because i didn't want any of that touchscreen shit either (although the pre looks hot). i have all my emails hooked up to it and it makes me happy that i can surf the interwebs at work on it.
