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.

GPS - you must be in a 100% coverage area to never have lag, I am guessing east coast. I am in Washington state where if you are driving and talking on blue-tooth and drive from one side of the city to the other, you are just about guaranteed to drop a call.
Phone - you must be the exception because there are floods of posts about people with lagging phones. The tech at my local repair center even said to me, "you can expect to have to hard reset your device at least every three months to keep it working properly". No joke
Word, excell, powerpoint on the pre - Documents To Go 11 here is the link :

Keyboard/cloud - I agree, the keyboard is smaller than the TP and It is going to take some getting use to. I dont know about the Cloud service, I guess I will update this post when I get my pre and use it.
