I went with
So of course, the Sprint Store didn't have any in stock, and didn't know when they would get them in. The online Sprint Store gave error messages when I tried to order. The PalmOne store (formerly Handspring, which makes the phone) gave confusing options, and Amazon didn't have any in stock, and a 4-6 week ETA. Aaargh!
I don't have an immediate need to upgrade my current cell phone (Samsung Uproar) or PDA (Palm Vx), so I suppose I should just wait. I don't really need the whiz-bang features that they're bundling with many new phones and PDAs anyway, like a camera (though it would be handy for quick low-quality shots, I already have a dedicated digital camera) or an MP3 player (I have an iPod). But it is a pain having my cell phone and PDA out of sync, and needing the extra pocket and purse space to carry both. Also, I would really like to browse the web on my phone, even though that feature will add significantly to my monthly costs.
Maybe I should just wait to see if Handspring/PalmOne comes out with a Bluetooth-enabled version later, or drops the price. I can always use USB to sync, but I did specifically get a Bluetooth card in my G5 to use with a cell phone or PDA, and there are very few Bluetooth phones supported by Sprint at this time. (And I do want to stay with Sprint.) Ziggy thinks I should just wait because the "smartphone" technology is still in its infancy. True, and we do have the wedding to budget for, so perhaps my $600 would be better spent elsewhere for the moment.
