Well, I guess I'm in the minority here...but...I can see myself using this phone. Going to have to wait and see if Sprint picks up the Pre's, but if not, this would be a good compromise for me.

I often have to sit for hours at swim meets, basketball tourney's, etc, etc. Having this would be a great portable compromise for surfing the web, playing games, etc, while waiting for the kids's turn.

iPad's are pretty popular at these events, but I see their owners constantly stressing over it getting stolen, or broken, etc. With this phone, I can just fold it backup and back in my pocket, no worries.

The extra battery would also be great to have along. So yeah, I can see it.

Now...that said...if Sprint gets the Pre 3, I'll most likely go that route for the integrated experience with the Touchpad.

I will need to see one & try it out first...and we do get 30 days with Sprint to return it...so that's a definite plus.

You are quite brave, like what was said above me. But I can guarantee you, The Android platform, you will love. The phone you will like. If you get an other phone from Sprint, say an Evo 2 (when it comes out) you will love it. The phone has a good concept/idea to start off the dual screen industry, but looks poorly designed/made and had a bad way to start off, I recon you get an other Android phone rather then this, unless you fall in love with it. Pre is nice too but Android is better in there own way.

Well, I have to upgrade by 3/31 or I lose part of my Sprint Premier discount. Going to look at anything/everything that's out in March. Evo, Evo Shift and the Echo.

Not really interested in being on an orphaned piece of hardware like the Echo will most likely be...so we'll see what happens.

You do have the 30-day to try and love it. ;-)
