I only got my Pre on Sunday (got in on the $99 best buy mistake), but am really enjoying it so far. Main thing I like is the multitasking abilities and overall speed of the device. I know WinMO can do this as well, but thanks to the Pre's fantastic hardware (processor) and WebOS's handling of the "cards" the user experience is far superior IMHO. I'm also absolutely loving the launcher and some of the apps like Pandora.

My main concern with this phone right now is the battery. Third day in my battery was pretty much dead after 10 hours off charger (an improvement over the day before, which took only 9 hours for the battery to hit below 10%). I texted a bit, browsed the web for less than an hour and made few phone calls. I'm really hoping that with a couple more charge cycles things improve. If not I'll try out a larger capacity battery and hope for the best. This is certainly one of those YMMV things though. I really think the radio software could use some updating here. Coming from a Sprint Touch Diamond running telus radio, I'm noticing some funky behavior in limited coverage areas. The phone likes to go into roaming or 1x mode way more often than my Diamond did. It also seems to take much longer to snap out of it. I've actually had to turn flight mode on and off a couple of times to get it to go back to 3G. I'm sure this has a negative impact on battery life, but for the most part I see the biggest drain when using data in any way. Again, I'll need to calibrate the battery a bit more to see how things shake out here.
