The only aspect of the Pre that really got me interested was the wireless charging pad. The phone itself I don't have any real interest in. The CDMA doesn't help its case either. Right now I've got a G1, running the HTC Hero(the third HTC android phone, due out sometime in summer) customized version of Android. A new UI called Rosie (Youtube for videos if you're interested) really gives the phone a wow factor. I loved the phone from day one running stock firmwares, but I didn't have people asking, "Hey, What phone is that?" until recently when running the Hero build.
Android, for me, overshadows any excitement for other brands just due to its potential.
