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.

About the GPS, I have talked to an owner of the Pre who was previously an owner of the Tp. He told me the gps program preformed much better than the tp. I have never been able to use telenav on my tp, it has entirely too much lag, if I followed it turn by turn, im a mile past my exit when it says take this exit, or it tries to send me into a lake.
I did some research and the pre actually comes with telenav and google maps pre loaded, on the pre
About the hardware keyboard, your right, it is easier to use on the Tp or tp2. I just cannot stand how every time I click on a search bar or input field on any web browser on the tp, regardless if the keyboard is open or not, a retarded on screen keyboard pops up and says "DunDADun!!!"
-The pre does not even have an on screen keyboard, some see hardware input only as a bad thing, I see it as perfect because to use the keyboard you do not have to change orientation.
I am not sure about the plan, I pay $92 a month for two lines, unlimited data, 450 min, 600 texts. I use to have unlimited everything, but I looked at my actual usage and decided to save $30 a month rather than waste it.
p.s. wow, out of 16 people, we have no blackberry fans.
