I'm also torn by this, but I might stick with my pre cuz it has a faster cpu (almost identical to the 3gs) and the cards multitasking can't be beat. The hero has a awesome ui but the processor is a turnoff for me and I'm not too crazy about the look of the hardware (maybe a magic with a hero rom would be better)

Although the pre sdk is garbage atm and this worries me cuz I was looking forward to quality gfx rich apps and games like the iphone to make use of the cpu, but palm has to give deeper access and enable openGL or the apps will suck and I will defenetly go android if this happens before the years end
