It's the name for what happens as the slider mechanism gets looser over time - the top can rotate clockwise and the bottom counter-clockwise, and vice-versa, kinda like how one twists an Oreo cookie open to get at the filling.
So, that much-improved keyboard on the Pre+ has the old Bblackkberry proobllem with keey bouuncce? Yikes!! Why didn't Palm use their cumulative knowledge from the Treos and Centros and just build a GREAT keyboard!!?

What's the Oreo cookie effect? The Pre Plus body creaks sometimes when I type. And don't forget the problem with rreapeaatingg characters which is hardly mentioned on this list probably because most have the original Sprint model and don't experience it.

Craig's other dream of WebOS on HTC hardware would be a huge step up. The Pre is an amazingly elegant device, but I'm on my fourth (almost 5th) one since last June, the keyboard creaks when I type, the Oreo cookie effect is in full force, the plastic screen has some hairline scratches, and the system does seem sluggish overall now that I had to take off the 800mhz patch (which patch *definitely* caused decreased battery life by the way - no question about it). The Pre + addresses the keyboard and Oreo problems, and perhaps the overall build quality problems (although it still has a plastic screen), but not the rest.
