There are a lot of things that are absolutely awesome on the Pre. The GUI is second to none, the web is handeled very well (-java), and the way it multitasks is pretty dang cool..
Here are some of the issues making me want to return it.
No video recording
no onscreen keyboard
the dialer doesn't recognize if you type a name into the numbers (like pulling up "al" should be able to push 2 and 5)
no tethering ability with USB
can't select multiple items in email to delete or mark as read
no forwarding ability with sms or mms
mms doesn't play video
can't change notification sounds (are you kidding me?)
battery life is bad, but better than any winmo device i've owned, except it is almost impossible to pull the battery door to do a swap.
no external stroage
Still a pretty neat device, but I think I may stick with my TP..

The first 9 are all software, they will get changed, or add-on software will do, the battery gets better after a few charges, and software updates could help that as well (or multiple Touchstones, one at work, one in car and one at home). The last one (no external storage) was a really big mistake, but 7.5 gig is still ok.
