How funny you should ask about Sprint phones and live in southeast MI... :) I just had a question not all that long ago. EVERYONE suggested the EVO. I cannot afford that AND I don't use my phone for internet at all... I went with the LG Remarq. No touch screen but has a QWERTY keyboard and it does what I need it to do. I got my husband the Samsung Restore. Also no touch screen but has a QWERTY keyboard. He likes it. I think I would've liked the Samsung better, but mine works just fine for what I need.
Blackberry flip... I'd go to the Sprint website and check reviews.
