Interesting! I have only one data point: my daughter. She had been using an LG EnV, which is a very capable almost-smartphone. She really likes the Droid, which I got her for Xmas. She prefers a sideways keyboard, but says she uses the virtual keyboard about half the time, in any case. She has no intention of switching to anything else. She found the Pre's keyboard too small, but that's because she's used to the wide, sideways keyboard of the EnV. She has her Gmail, Yahoo mail and college Exchange email on the Droid, and it's been stable and fast so far!
>From what I've seen, there's no way I'd switch to the Droid, though I like it. Too big, no touchstone, and the 65% premium to go to Verizon from Sprint is just too high!

The few who I know who've used both Pre and Android for long periods (more than a couple of weeks) all settled on the Pre, with comments like "the UI is just more mature and polished" and "it seems more stable" being the main reasons stated. Now, with native C++ code and 3D gaming open to developers, and Palm phones coming to Verizon and AT&T in the next few months, I fully expect the webOS app catalog to explode, too.
