I hope someday sprint would get a smartphone like this or similiar. This is probably for GSM and at least to me a phone is not a reason to switch carriers. I know Sprint already has a smartphone out, but it is kinda big and I would like to see some smaller candy bar styles.

why?

because Sprint isn't GSM. CDMA just doesn't do things like that.

Sprint's Smartphone vision is not crystal clear as of yet. It may also be because most MS Smartphones are being developed by GSM manufacturers. The ATT SMT-5600 is a good example of the standard that Sprint should aim for in the future....
