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

Well I am probably the minority here but I think I will be going with the Touch Pro 2. I like how the Palm Pre works but I can not get over the keyboard. It's just not functional for me. When I went to the touch pro I instantly loved the keyboard. The keyboard on the Pre works but really is a step backward. I dont know why they couldnt have had a keyboard like on the Instinct.

It would have been the perfect phone for me had the keyboard been better thought out. I text alot as well as send many e-mails so this was a big feature for me.

Now besides that the form was very intuitive. I think once one because familiar with the menus they will have no problems navigating around. This is typical with any phone.

Being able to have multiple applicatons open is nice but in all honesty the touch pro does that too. The only difference is that on the pre they are readily available with a flick of a finger. On the pro you just had to go to task manager and go from there. Nice on the Pre but it's not like the Pro is lacking.

My last gripe is the exchange server is not working yet. I cant get too mad because the phone is new but you would think with all the other Palm phones that are out and work this should have been easy too.

All in all, the Pre is a great phone but since texting and emailing is a large portion of what I do, I will be waiting to see what the Touch Pro 2 can do.
