Yeah, I've heard those rumors too. Additionally that Apple is talking with Verizon about a 2011 iPhone on their service. So I figure I might have to bite the bullet on an "almost there" phone for another two years and then hopefully have some other options.<br>
<br>Then again there is the HTC Touch Pro 2 that's set to release. I'm not terribly happy with the idea of going WiMo, but it does offer the most features (at 2x the cost).<br><br>-B<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Rumor has it (from Engadget.com) that the Pre will be available from<br>
AT&T and Verizon in 6 months when the Sprint exclusive deal is up.<br>
<br>
There are also supposed to be over a dozen Android phones available<br>
later this year, according to Google... that could mean worldwide<br>
though, so 11 in China and 1 more in the US.<br>
