I'll approach this with a slightly different angle. I didn't buy a Pre because i was concerned about build quality.

The forums over a pre central are crawling with complaints about build quality ("oreo effect", issues with the slider etc). As far as I can tell (and please correct me if I am wrong) the build quality issues haven't been addressed.

I noticed the issues while at the Sprint store. Yes, I'm well aware I was using a demo unit, but nonetheless it caused me concern.

Other than that my only other concern was the software. I'd like a dedicated desktop PIM application and to see an app store explosion. If I recall, some programs (like the calendar) didn't rotate with the accelerometer. The screen was definitely awesome. I found it very responsive to gestures (swiping, pinching etc.)

Fixing the build quality issues would have me overlook all of the above however.
