I do not think the Pre has/will fail. It is a cool phone for sure and the newest craze. It is all a matter of perspective and what you are looking for as a user. WinMo can be frustrating, but rewarding at the same time. I came from a Treo 750p or whatever it was and thoroughly enjoyed that phone which felt rock solid to say the least. The Pre however feels cheap in my hands. I had that phone (750p) for 2 years and never got the enjoyment out of it like I do the TP. The Pre appeals to many people because it is so functional out of the box. Many people do not want to take the time to tinker with WinMo or feel that they shouldn't have to in order for their phone to work properly. Agreed, but I for one felt the TP worked just fine with the Stock ROM out of the box for what I needed it to do. Make calls, text, email. I got the phone for like $150 so it was not much of a burden. People who complain the Pre doesn't have apps are crazy. The iPhone, which everyone wants to compare every phone to for some idiotic reason, did not have a plethora of apps when it first came out either. In fact, Steve Jobs did not initially feel that there was a need to have many apps and now look where they are at. Can't we just be happy that we are able to talk, search the web, play music, take pictures, etc etc etc with objects that fit in our pockets??
