I'll tell anyone the Pre is a terrific device.
First, it works. Some learning curve, and any new platform has
some bugs, and regular readers here likely recall my frustration with
Google sync, but that's figured out (don't use numbers in the Name
field; who knew?)
It's UI is cool. Imagine flicking an app into the ether to unload it.
And it's cool looking. In my hand, especially with the fatter
Seidio battery and unslippery case, it looks like something out of a
sci-fi flick. Sort of the way Motorola's flip fones did back in the Beam
Me Up, Scotty days. All those Heros and iPhones look so yesterday.
Only one fairly serious problem right now - survivable, not a deal
breaker, but -- it'd be real nice to have something Pocket Quicken-ish
that would run natively on webOS and, as a highly desireable bonus, sync
with Quicken. I guess I could run Pocket Quicken under Classic, but I've
read some reviews that are less than glowing.
Still, as I said, not a deal breaker.
Cool isn't isn't my main attraction to a purchase. It has to actually
work. The Pre works, and looks cool doing it.
(The preceding is unsolicited and, darn it, unpaid testimonial.)
