Yes I had the Palm Pre; wanted to see if it lived up to the hype. I can tell you it surely did not. So after having a plethora of phones listed below this is how I would rank them out of 5 stars: ( This is the phone not the service....ATT service sucks......just thought I would through that in )0 J7 O, t5 H+ I9 j!

After having the Palm Pre for two days I realized that there was no way you could really use a phone like this in a work envirmonent; which when they mentioned EAS support over the last few months prior to the release make one feel as though it was going to be a business phone." R2 D" E2 \: s

I had issues where the phone would dial wrong number and it would take too long for you to end the call after it started dialing the wrong number.

The battery life was absolutely shameful and that is just the way it is. I plugged in the phone at night woke up and unplugged around 9am with a full battery and around 2pm that same day the phone went black, just died from lack of battery power.
