As for the looks of the phone, I personally think the Pre is SEXY, but I think I would like the option of a soft keyboard for landscape usage to add more keyboard real estate.
The inventory was allocated based on the population density of surrounding markets. I live in a smaller pop. dens. not too far away from Chicago. Stores in the Chicago area got 30-50 a store while the store closest to me had 9. I'm not claiming that's the only way the allocations are being made, but it seems that's the way it's starting out. It's possible that the volume on each store's waiting list could determine future consignment levels per store. I'm 80th on the list in my area but my friend in Chicago is #232 ... yay for me. Maybe the Touch Pro2 will be on Sprint.com by the time I get the call to come pick up the Prē.
