Just don't drop it or put it under sideways stress and I think it'll be OK. I've dropped my current Pre (nothing dramatic) twice and it was looser after each occasion. The Pre slider just wasn't built very well, and Palm knew/knows this, hence the Pre+!!

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.
