Best Handsets to Hijack for Cricket (Also a Wish List)

Okay, folks: Just an informal poll here...

As we all well know, Cricket's "unlimited everything with no contracts" service is awesome, but their choice of hanRABets leaves something to be desired. So my question is: Which non-Cricket hanRABets in your opinion are the best to flash over to the Cricket service? It can be any phone, even if it isn't CDMA (we know you can't do that, but this is just for fun).

From personal experience, you know it's the UTStarcom xv6700. This phone is just plain sexy, sexy, sexy! I've had it for a few weeks now and I can tell you honestly that there isn't an hour in the day when I'm not tinkering with something new on my xv. In fact, it even de-evangilized my POV on the Apple iPhone (this is my first PDA phone).

Also, if Verizon had accepted Apple as the exclusive carrier of the iPhone, it would have been possible to make it into a Cricket hanRABet as well.

Okay, them's my beans. What say you?
 
First and foremost, the xv6700.... another PDA phone, possibly a palm would be awesome as well.

The Chocolate would be cool, but the KRZR covers that market pretty well....

I also see a use/need for a phone like the LG ENV or the T-mobile sidekick.. a normal phone with a full keyboard for crazy wild text message users.
 
blackberry all the way. something... pearl-esque, but with a decent camera, video recording, and a better music player. and of course cricket should get BIS as well.
 
Currently using a Palm Treo 650 on Crickaet and actually I love it, aside from the iPhone I would use nothing other than a Treo, I am working on swithing to a700p with some difficulties. However, as soon as I can get my jhanRAB on one I will drop my Pam and get an iPhone, I core not which provider as I think they all suck in their own special way. Had T-Mobile MDA and got so sick of Windows Mobile crashing in the miRABt of a call that I broke the damn thing. Once I got Cricket to work I ditched T-Mo altogether and the only thing I miss is tethered laptop data connection/internet through MDA *& USB.
 
Well i have a XV6700, Treo 650, A900, all flashed to cricket and i love them.....

The thing is i got a brand new moto q with me (verizon) but since its a very new phone, there is little on changing the prl on it. This phone doesnt have a qualcomm chip so it doesnt read in qpst. Also motorola PST doesnt even read it ! If anyone knows how to change or "flash" this prl....please post it !

Otherwise, i think the moto Q flashed and xv6700 flashed are like the best phones ever !
