I'm surprised the computer guys didn't discuss the new Android phone coming to Sprint this October when they were in the midst of their 3G debate! (I've been considering the Palm Pre for a while -- mostly because I've been with Sprint for years -- but this recent news has given me pause. I might go the "Google Phone" route!)
