If you get a sprint phone that has to be on a data plan and change to that plan to get the phone can you change back to a non data plan after that and keep the data phone on that plan?

I believe certain smart phones like Palm Pre, HTC, Blackberry's etc are required to be on certain data plans such as the Simply Everything plans. You probably would be able to do that with a non-smart data phone like the Rumor 2, Exclaim, Lotus, etc. But I don't think you need to have data to activate one of those.

To me it would be useless to buy a Palm Pre or Pixi and not have any data capabilities with it anyway.

Larry is correct. You can't change your plan to one w/o data if you have a smartphone, or a Instinct.

Apparently the HTC Touch Pro 2 can be activated without a simply everything plan but you have to pay an arm and a leg out of pocket for the phone. Doesn't seem worth it to me.

Where did you read that? I find that really odd, as that would go for any Windows Moble phone. Sounds like someone complained, and got what they wanted.

Yes I believe it is any Windows Mobile phone. There was a thread on SU about it recently. People are claiming they can keep their legacy plans with a Win Mo phone.
