There will be room for Nokia with the brand's popularity in Europe and Asia but it will be very small.
I've been using both my 650 (work, phone only) and 755p (personal, internet, texting, etc) for years, but I think I'm finally going to upgrade. I'm not willing to wait for iPhone to come to Sprint or pay for their prices when my Treo (albeit smaller screen) can do almost just as much...and has an actual keyboard. I just read about the HP purchasing Treo, so we'll see if things get better. I've had the typical crashes, but as my phone has aged over the years, the crash/resets have decreased to maybe 2-3 a month.

I looked at the HTC Pro Touch 2 (Windows based ) and the Samsung Moment (Android based, which is new to me) and at this point, it's coming down to price. I like that the HTC slides and the screen can tilt up, but even after all my rebates and incentives from Sprint, I don't know if I'm willing to pay 2x as much for tilt and a 1/4 larger screen. I can't stand having to pinch the screen to zoom in and out, but it seems that even the HTC and Moment only work like this...which is what kept me from upgrading from the Treo to the Pre since my Treo gives me a Mobile or Wide option to format the screen and make it all fit w/o the need to zoom, scroll left/right, etc.

I'm on the fence as I don't know what to do, and paying anything more than roughly $100-$150 seems like a total waste when my 755p still gets the job done well...IM, Sprint Mobile Email (manages my 5 email accts, I dont like Outlook), removable battery and SD slot. I was looking on www.phonescoop.com and it appears I can get a Moment for $70 shipped after rebates, which appears to be an upgrade from my 755p. Any opinions?
