Question
I have a 4 yr old Sprint Palm Treo 755p and love it. But now I need a new phone but all the reviews seem bad to me. I do not want a flip or a slider type of phone, I want to text, check e-mail and look on Internet sometimes. Can you suggest a good phone for me?
Sprint has a ton of phones that are excellent. If you really, really want a Palm, then get whatever new Palm Sprint is selling, but if I were you, I would strongly recommend looking into the Android models. This new operating system is a great one and will allow you to do what you want to do. HTC makes Androids for Sprint that I think you should take a look at. You will definitely not want any type of phone, you need a Quick Messaging phone at minimum, but I would recommend sticking with a SmartPhone. Don't worry about reviews, Sprint won't sell the device if it doesn't meet their specifications. The change from Palm OS to Windows OS is a bit tough, but to Android will be easier.
