Headed To Sprint On 4-22 - Phone Question
Looking over Sprints phones nothing really captures my attention. So at this point I am between the Blackberry 8530 or the Palm Pre.
I know these are quite different devices but on my former carrier T-Mo I used the Bold 9700 and the MyTouch 3G.
Sprints Android phones seem a bit dated and the Blackberry 9630 is reaching end of life mostly sue to the trackball. Plus the Tour has a older OS than the less expensive 8530.
So my question is how do you all match up the 8530 to the Pre? Also, anybody aware of the 9700 headed to Sprint?

The Androids seem dated? And you are leaning towards a(n older) Blackberry?
Seriously?

And just which Sprint Android would that be that you think is outdated? The choices are two really:
- HTC Hero: Android OS 1.5 with HTC Sense GUI to make the User Experience snappier and faster with more RAM and ROM compared to your MyTouch 3G to boot. (Sidebar: I had been with T-Mo for a while so I'm familiar with their product line.); OR
- Samsung Moment: Android OS 1.5 with no added User Experience features. That said, it's Stock so nothing much to see there unless you want the hard keypad instead of the soft one.
IMHO, both Droids listed here would outclass the Pre and any BB Model just like the Ford Pinto would be outclassed by the current Smart Car models out there on the ma

How are sprint android phones dated when they came out after your mytouch? Also all sprint android phones are getting 2.1 update.

While it was announced today that Sprint will be upgrading their Android devices to 2.1 they currently run 1.5. Since those using 1.5 do not know another version you do not know what you are missing. The MyTouch runs version 1.6 and its a bigger change between 1.5 to 1.6 then 1.6 to 2.1.
In any event I did not want to offend Android users I have owned several Android devices but the OS is fragmented and has its issues when it comes to support.
Blackberry is consistent and the OS continues to grow. I look at a BB as a email/message device while the Android phones are more multimedia. I threw the Pre in their to see what you all thought as I have not used one.
