Re: Thinking About Making Move to Pre instead of TP2 Help me Decide

Here's where I'm at:

1. Screen size (the TP2 has a killer screen...while the Pre has great colors and clarity).

2. Device size (do I really need to carry around a Netbook-sized phone)

3. UI/OS (I've used WM for years....this is a pro and a con...something new might be nice).

4. Out-of-the-box funtionality (while the original TP seemed to need a lot of tweaking out-of-the-box, everything I've read/seen seems to indicate that the Pre works great out-of-the-box. Will the TP2 need heavy tweaking out-of-the-box?)

5. Tweakability (Obviously with different ROM's, etc., WM is insanely tweakable. Though I'm confident that over time the Pre will attain some measure of tweakable-ness I'm not sure what that time curve looks like).

6. Keyboard (I love having a hard keyboard...do I need a small one or a large one?)

7. Sound quality (more of a network issue...but from what I've read the Pre sounds good for calls, etc.).

8. Hardware buttons (while both phones offer a full QWERTY keyboard at least the TP2 has a couple more buttons on the face...not so with the Pre)

9. Third Party Software (obvioulsy WM/TP2 lead in this catagory...but for how long?)

10. Build quality (which slider wears out sooner? Which screen will crack sooner?)

11. Resistive vs. Capacitive....toss up.

Those are just a few thoughts off the top of my head...

late,
Coz
