Hi...

Other than holding down the option key, is there a way to always have Boot Camp ask which partition to boot to?

If you want a specific OS to boot everytime, then go to System Preferences/Startup Disk
Other than that, do what you've been doing. (hold option and select)

I guess that the OP wants to be asked all the time and not just change the default boot partition.

There is the FlipSide software which allows you to reboot to a specific partition from within OSX but it doesn't seem to work properly on my new MBP.

I believe you are looking for Bootpicker, a Apple program, which after you setup in system preferences, will let you choose between Mac, Windows, and Linux if you have them installed. If you have Snow Leopard it still works.
