What is the best smartphone in people's opinion that sprint carries? Or is
it best to start looking at other carriers that offer more reasonable prices
and devices?

"best" and "cheap" don't go together. Other carriers' smartphone prices are
similar to Sprint's, anyhow.

My mother-in-law likes her Treo 600. The other one Sprint has that I am aware
of is the Samsung SPH-i600. (at least I think that's the model number!)
Don't know anyone who ones one, unfortunately.

I really like the two about to be released. The Treo 650. And the PPC-
6601/6600. Both have non-camera versions due out in early November via=20
special business channels only. In December, the more generally=20

about the cameras. But PDA's with BT... And the Treo600 so well=20
received overall, or the 128MB of installed memory on the PPC.
I like them both. If only I had the money.

Re: smartphone
Ditto, I like the Treo 650 and the PPC6600, both due out soon. If we are
talking about available now, then the Treo 600 if you want a thumbpad, or
the i500/i600 if you want very small (Palm and Windows respectively).

Oh yeah, I forgot about the i600. I've made the conscious decision=20

Not enough of a radio engineer to know for sure. I suspect it's=20

Re: smartphone
Perhaps because one of the main uses of the phone is for data, and data
is not accessible on an analogue network.
