Re: Offered the TP2 or the Palm Pre, I chose....

I'd stick w the WM primarily because it means I don't have to upgrade to one of the more expensive plans. I'm on an old legacy plan and upgrading to a smartphone other then WM would cost me an additional $25/mo (my current plan w unlimited data is only $45/mo).

I like the pre but I use my TP as my GPS... I travel to the middle of no-where on occasion so I need nav software w on-device maps. Last I heard there wasn't any for the pre.

I also like the full qwerty on the TP better than the pre and I think I'd miss the VGA screen. I've found a ROM I like that is stable, responsive and I've got it tweaked to the point that there's nothing I feel I'm lacking from a software standpoint.

I am jealous of two aspects of the pre's hardware... the processor and the capacitive touchscreen. Surfing the web on the TP is just too slow yet.
