Here's the first somewhat negative review I've read about the Pre:
Palm Pre: Why I'm on the Fence
<http://www.pcworld.com/article/156871/

His biggest gripe is that it doesn't have a memory expansion slot.
It's his biggest gripe about the iPhone as well.
This has always seemed like a pretty weak gripe to me. A 16GB
iPhone has as much memory as you can get with a MicroSD card, and
the Pre has 8GB, which is still pretty significant. Both phones will
transfer
files pretty quickly via the USB connector, or you can use the wireless
or bluetooth connections for slower transfers if you don't want to carry
a cable around. What kind of use can you possibly put a phone to,
even a smart one, that needs swappable memory so badly?
