Re: Offered the TP2 or the Palm Pre, I chose....
The GPS lag - not present on my TP, though it is there on my TP2. For me to leave WM means that it has to have complete compatibility with Microsoft Excel and Word, and have an outstanding database (HanDBase) and email application. Those are the requirements. The games hold little interest for me.
The TP2 has been an excellent device for me in almost every way. I had problems with FlexMail, as the device was over heating. I sent a note to the developer about the situation and deleted the application. When asked to do some testing, I advised the application was gone and went no further with it. Chances are it is a software problem, no hardware; I just did not want to put further time into it.
Resets? None. Slow? No. It just works.
The Palm Pre is interesting, but the cloud aspect disturbs me a bit. Relying on a remote site for data is scary. I have tried 2 cloud based applications and when I need the data and I am in an area with no cell coverage, well...life is not good. In addition, we have heard those scare stories about site down time.
The keyboard is also important. As mentioned above, there is no on-screen keyboard, but frankly, we get use to things like that.
The LG Moment looks interesting, but it is still not there software wise. Bunches of applications are fine, but real work applications are a necessity for a few of us.
