A version of the same phone will go on sale in Canada very soon. Check this out:

(some software will differ on Sprint's version)
I expect a physical keyboard version of the same phone to follow.
It is likely that Verizon will sell a slightly different version of this phone too.

The TouchPro aka Raphael is coming out too. It's the Touch with a slide out keyboard. That's the only phone I'd replace my Instinct with, too bad my 30 days will be over by then.. oh well.
3 year contract, sheesh!
physical keyboard version might be ok, but the Windows Mobile phones I've seen so far have terrible on screen keyboards. I'm over my 30 day period, so I pretty much have to stick with my Instinct. I live in hope that one day they will iron out all the bugs!
Awhile ago Engadget got ahold of an HTC Touch and apparently it was horribly slow. It's also going to be extremely expensive.
This isn't surprising since it's WM6 with a custom UI on top of it (which is a terrible idea IMO), plus HTC has a habit of underpowering its phones (just look at the Mogul).
I gave HTC a chance with the Mogul, and I was very happy to switch to the Instinct. Pass.
Well the Touch won't give the iPhone a run for it's money but I think the TouchPro might. But it's actually not quite fair because they're actual smartphones. And for the person who commented on the slowness of the touch, they actually updated the blog and said that after they updated the phone, the slowness disappeared.
Well, okay, I'm not as heartbroken, though I'd rather have the HTC TouchPro than the Instinct, but I think these two (Touch & TouchPRO) are in their early stages. In 2 years when my contract is over, I think phones will be far more advanced with Symbian and Android it wouldn't even matter. The Instinct should prove satisfactory for the next two years I think.
