The Thing that lay against the Pre when I was looking was a nagging
distrust of the slider keyboard. But it'd been out long enough - and
there are enough other sliders out there that seem to do OK - that the
evidence seemed to weigh in favor of go for it.
So far, I've noticed a little loosening on my couple-month-old
Spring Pre, but otherwise am super happy I went with it. There are a
couple minor nags -- my search continues for a Task/Deadline
counter-downer, for instance, and for a webOS version of Pocket Quicken
- or something that would work with whatever I'd have to replace Quicken
on the PC. (A note from Quicken says they're no longer supporting the
2007 version I have, and some of its convenience functions are being cut
off, so maybe switching won't be a bad thing.)
OTOH, once I got used to Synergy, I love it. Bluetooth turned out
to be pretty reliable once I discovered it, unlike previous Treos, would
re-link on a headset button press.
I could go on, but suffice to say I just hope the slider mechanism
lasts until my contract is up and a new version of webOS-based device
turns out to be better - or at least newer.
