hey guys...I updated my post with some comparison shots. I haven't used a palm device in a long time so I didn't have any to compare it to.

hopefully they will help you get an idea of the size

Yeah, that apache is a monster! It's amazing how these devices change in just a few years!...right around the same time next year we'll all be discussing the next smaller, faster, more amazing gadget and the pre will end up just another prop for size comparison.

Scottcrsi, great review! No boring parts at all. I just got my Pro this past Feb and I love it. But your review almost made me want to consider getting a Pre...almost.

Can't wait to see what the Pre 2 or Pro 3 will look like...one will be my next device.

Does the pre connect with activesync just like the diamond so my contacts and calender will sync with the pre?

Made yet another update to my review. If there is anything else anyone would like added, let me know and ill add it to the review.

Got one for my Wife.

I am amazed at how easy she got her email set up, and was very happy to do so. The phone is very well set up for ease of use and this is the best feature of the phone to me, because my Wife is using it just fine.

It will be easier to list the things I don't like, but I assume they will be fixed as this phone is mostly Software OS issues for me.

1. The apps are unorganized and it is difficult for my Wife to find things. Old Palm had categories.
2. The Touchstone turning the phone into a clock is cool, but I want the option to turn the screen off.
3. Contacts need some more tweaking, maybe categories for them as well. They can be a bit confusing what with Facebook etc.
4. Need more syncing options with Hotmail/IM.
5. Something like voice command would be very nice for contact name calling with a headset. Otherwise I can only see speeddial as an option.
6. KB is nice enough, but I think they should have done it wide like the TP, for a better layout. I can get over this one, but I still believe a stronger KB would have been keen.
7. I myself cannot stand the banner advertising on AccuWeather, and I don't look forward to the future of that if that is a preview of what is to come. I am also surprised that weather was not a stock program on the phone.

All I can remember for now, and all to me seem to be trivial software tweaks. I think we can all look forward to this phone growing with the app store and OS updates, and good lord if it goes open source!

You can actually organize them any way you want. Just hold and drag the icons.
