    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-

    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.

    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* to call Windows Smartphone phones PDA's, because the software=20
    doesn't aim to be a "full" PDA system. I prefer to think of them as=20
    "phones plus". More than a phone, and able to install PDA software to=20
    them, but not quite as "enabled" as a "real" PDA.

    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.
