I have always said that Sprint (which is my current carrier) has some pretty mediocre phones, but great service.  Other carriers, like AT&T, on the other hand, have some of the most cutting edge phones, but lousy service (just ask Brandon about 3G out in Denver).  Well, lately it seems that Sprint is doing everything in their power to prove me wrong.  First it was the Instinct, which I am just dying to try.  And now, it looks like the Touhc Pro (aka Raphael) will be coming soon to a Sprint store near you.  No word on a timeline, and I hope this comes to fruition a little (OK, a lot) faster than the Palm 800w.  All we can tell you for now is that the HTC Touch Pro (CDMA version) has apparently received FCC approval here in the United States, a major step in the process of a handset become and actual phone, available in stores near you.  Of course, you Verizon fans can likely expect to see the Touch Pro as well, but hopefully (in my own selfish way) it will be coming first to Sprint.  Godspeed, Touch Pro.  Hopefully, we will see you soon.
