As of April, 2005, Sprint Corporation has cancelled the SPH-i550, a Palm OS-based smartphone.
The Samsung SCH-i539 (http://www.geocities.com/lancelotdulac_24m/SCH-i539/index.html) Palm OS phone was just released in China while the US version of this phone, the SPH-i550 (http://www.mobiledia.com/phones/samsung/sph-i550.html), was cancelled by Sprint just a few weeks earlier. The i539 has a high-res 320x352 internal screen and an external OLED display. The camera takes 1MP stills and can record video. A built-in MP3 player is controlled by external buttons without having to open the phone. More specifications and pretty pictures can be found here (http://www.geocities.com/lancelotdulac_24m/SCH-i539/index.html). Also on that page is a link to a petition (http://www.petitiononline.com/pphi550/petition.html) to have the US version of the phone, the SPH-i550, released, along with an "article" describing what statement the petition is trying to make and why, given that it takes only a few keystrokes and a mouse click, it may be worthwhile for you to sign it.
