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 )/ s! a4 Q4 m8 S3 g) N/ E

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.

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.- M( k; u4 i" Z; m0 J6 s+ v

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.+ b( e s: f% s0 D1 O9 s

The phone had numerous bugs and would not allow you to use certain symbols when putting in a web address.
