Honestly, i love the pre, hate the hardware (itz chincie) love the tp2 hardware, not to sure about the os...I dont know, which device to keep...thoughts from the group??
Well since you quoted me I assume you read what I had to say. My thoughts so far without yet testing the TP2 is simply that everything with the Pre is a lot more integrated together. It "just works". With Windows mobile, it seemed like everything was tossed together and when you installed something, it didn't feel like it was part of the OS but more like a hack.

I have to agree that I like the Pre for the OS and the TP and TP2 for the hardware. But for an over all pleasurable experience, I have to go with the smoother/more integrated OS and the Pre has that. The real draw back is that the Pre is new so it lacks some things that Windows Mobile and even the PalmOS has/had but given time, WebOS will be just as feature rich.

I get the TP2 tomorrow and I plan to put it through it's paces over the next 30 days or less to really decide which one is better for me. It really does come down to a personal choice.
