aside from palm's poor quality control, i am really happy with the pre in comparison with my old touch pro

i have had two perfect pres, and one with a horrible slider reset bug, where even putting the pre down a little hard caused a reset

the first pre was from the sprint store - perfect but then best buy had their mistake so i returned the sprint one and picked one up from BB. it had the slider reset bug and the BB people were convinced that it was a dead battery, so I had to go to a different BB and return it. spent about 6 hours total to save $100 and the trouble of a mail in rebate

i am hoping this one lasts, but i am a little nervous about it sustaining a couple of accidental drops - a friend dropped his on the power button, and now it diesn't work at all - phone is pretty much useless if you have to slide out the keyborad every time you turn it on
