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 )) C) @% t: h* p' Y

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.

So when your making a call on the Palm Pre and need to access information it is not that intuative and infact can be dangerous when working with high priority clients. 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.$ }9 C0 m5 Z% |+ G1 u

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.1 k/ Y, J8 q( u/ a+ Y

The browser was very good but also very small.....keep in mind that this phone has a small screen compared to the Iphone. I don't think I enjoy touch screen devices as there are too many false hits on the screen.
