Ive had the TP since January and before that was the Touch from Sprint as well. The only issues I have with the TP are the SLOW responsiveness and the normal occurrences from anything running anything related to Windows. Sure the ROMS and all have helped greatly. If it wasnt for this site and all teh ROMS I would probably have gotten rid of teh TP within the first 30 days of having it.
Going on a week now I got the wife a Pre and I have been messing around with it as usual. Researching all the sites, blogs, forums referencing the "Homebrew" apps and such and I think that with time it will be just as customizable as WinMo is now.
As for speed, I had 4 cards open at once and once I opened the fifth on the Pre is when I NOTICED a decrease in performance. Hell, If I have 2 things running on my TP it is almost unusable (Programs vary of course).

The KB on the Pre blows by far but o well. And I have heard a lot of issues with the KB on the TP going out. Mine has worked fine ever since I got it and have had no problems with it. I rarely use the on screen KB at all so all typing is done with the KB.

If you decide to give the Pre a try and decide you dont like it then that is fine. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. And my opinion is that I think the Pre will better suit my needs then the TP even though I use it for business.
