Erm, I tried 6 different TPs, gave up, went back to my Vogue, hoping for something amazing to come out. I pondered getting the Xperia X1, and changing carriers, and all sorts of crap... Then come CES in January, my prayers were answered. The Pre--even with its many short-comings, just dominates the TP in almost every aspect, and it's a brand-new OS, with nearly all the functionality I was TRYING to get by loading custom ROMs on my WM phones...

things like GPS work properly in the background... the phone also grabs continues location-data from the towers, without activating the chip.... stuff like that, which WM was just terrible at. A-GPS data works instantly... battery life is superior... integrated push email and synergy... the list goes on, and continues to grow and refine itself.

Still, the Pre is a much newer device, and should be better. I gave up on HTC when I saw what WM6.5 was, and that WM7 wasn't coming out for at least another 2 years. No thanks. I think being a unix system engineer also helps push me in the direction of the Pre... my familiarity level is quite high with the unix underpinnings...
