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 )

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.

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.4 E# m7 P+ c" C2 a

The keyboard is not that bad but can't hold a flame to the Bold or 8900 or even the Curve.8 p P. Y5 ]& i

Speed wise the phone is ok but can sometimes be a bit slow to pull up a card but overall not bad speed wise.. p' {2 o4 I' u4 Y1 ]7 |% e7 T
