What is the best 3G data phone on Sprint, not counting the Palm Pre?

I have a really great plan on Sprint. I've been a customer for years and years and years. My contract stipulates that I can upgrade my phone without having to change plans. (Sprint no longer puts that in their contracts.) However, *I* have to be the side that enforces that part of our contract. Until recently, this has not been a problem. I've upgraded from a 2G phone to a Palm Treo 600P to a Palm Treo 700P and been able to keep my inexpensive plan with unlimited data. But Sprint does not offer the Palm Pre as an available phone that I can upgrade to without changing my plan. (The cheapest Pre plan costs twice what I pay per month.)

Sprint's position is that since they offer OTHER data phones that I can move to without changing plans, they're still honoring our contract. For example, I could switch to a Palm Centro, or a Palm Treo Pro. Right now I have the Treo 700P, but I wonder: Is there a better data phone available on Sprint that isn't the Pre? I hate the web browser on the Treo 700P. What Sprint phones do people like that are BETTER than the Treo 700P? Help me out, peeps!

I also dont like the original PalmOS, but since it is single threaded it is much faster.

You can try Opera mini for 700p. It's realy nice.

Downloading Opera Mini directly to your phone is simple. Visit the address below using your phone’s default Web browser.

Anyway, if you still like to upgrade to a new phone, and if you like windows mobile, there are other options depending on your contract.

Samsung ACE ($50), Samsung Intrepid, and Treo Pro under $150 price range.

HTC diamond, HTC Pro and Pro2 - > $200

If you like Android:

Samsung Moment and HTC hero - under $200 price range.

All the phones mentioned above are 3G Rev A phones with the fastest 3G speeds where available. Let me know if you need more info.
