Wow. But i really like having integrated Sprint services like Sprint Navigation. Guess I wont be upgrading to a Pixi Plus anytime soon. Although the Pre Plus on Sprint would be nice.

Oh "prospective purchasers must still pay the full unsubsidized price, and the CDMA devices seem to still be locked to their respective carriers" forget it. I have a Sprint Pixi right now, and I'd almost like to go to a Pre Plus, just for the larger screen. The keyboard on the Pre isnt as good tho... Options.

That's great... But, it's not really worth it when they're the CDMA versions, if they were GSM that would be cool!

waiting for a PRE 2 possibly coming out in the future for sprint. i'd like to see the pixi keyboard on there as well. theis may lend to a thicker bottom half but would also allow bor a bigger battery. i'd back that. besides, more weight on the bottom half would keep the phone from being too top heavy. 32gb capacity and a less brittle outer housing material would be awesome. for now i'll just wait to see hoe 1.4 comes out...

Does Sprint even allow contract free? I thought even if you brought a phone you would be in contract.
