Re: touch pro vs. palm pre

Being the cheap bastard that I am I'm sticking w the TP. The cheapest plan you can use w the pre is $60/mo... I'm on a basic phone plan w unlimited data ($45/mo). That extra $15/mo means $360 over the course of 2 years.

The 2 big advantages of the pre in my eyes are the fact that it's a native touch device (OS was built to be touch centric and it's got a capacitive screen) and it has a faster processor. WM is slowly being converted to being touch friendly but it's still not 100% there and the processor is pretty lacking if trying to surf full desktop style websites (IMHO).

Edit: Looks like the cheapest pre plan is actually $70/mo... so the pre would cost me $600 more over 2 years.
