Palm Pre anyone?

[tikkathreebarrel]

I'm resisting an impulse urge to upgrade from my old Palm Treo to the new Pre. Anyone here using one in the real world please? I'd be interested in your views.

I haven't personally used one though (I'm happy with my iPhone!)

Thank you Wicker_man, I'm obliged.

Thank you Wicker_man, I'm obliged.

I just got one and the keyboard is horrid!

If the keyboard wasn't so bad, the phone would be great.

Oh dear xil3!

I've been using the edge of my thumbnail to work the qwerty keyboard of my treo for years: I found the keyboard layout of the pre cramped by comparison on first "go" in the shop..

The guy at the O2 store sold me an iPhone, then once I signed the contract started going on about how he'd switched to the Pre and how awesome a phone it was. Read into that what you will. I'm waiting for the second generation though which will be out once my iPhone contract runs out.

I love my palm pre, the keyboard is small but it suits me perfectly
