Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I've got to tell ya... I have Sprint because my daughter works there. When the Touch was announced, I thought - great! I can get back into the Windows Mobile racket (I used a simple samsung while "in between jobs") *and* get my touch screen.

I've been a little disappointed. I have to pull out that little stylus w-a-a-y too often to make it a _touch_ device. Yes, I've found the PocketCM keyboard and the TouchPal keyboard. But (perhaps because) I started on a Palm Pilot, my ability to whip out graffiti just kills any keyboard (even those on the Blackberry devices I was forced to use at my last job).

But by and large, I think I'll keep the touch and look forward to the next version of the iPhone which will - even if it is just an incremental upgrade - be more fun to use.
