On #2, something must be wrong... I have not heard of that being a problem, and I too have all my contacts and calendar in Google, and I've never had to sign in after the initial setup. Have you researched what the problem might be?

My Pre frustrates me *every* day, often right up to the point of hurling it against the nearest hard surface to put both of us out our misery. And that's WITH the 800MHz patch. *sigh* 2) Google integration. All my most important stuff -- Contacts, Calendar, Docs, etc. -- are in Google. While webOS does it nicely, I have to re-login to Google often several times a day, and I'm hoping a Google-powered phone will be more dependable in that way. 3) A proper home screen. On my old Palm OS devices, ZLauncher gave me single-look access to email status, apps, and a whole lot of other things perfectly configured according to my needs. My Pre has nothing like that, but Android, based on what I've read, seems to do that really well. 4) Function before form. Android ain't pretty the way webOS is -- it was, after all, designed entirely by engineers. As an engineer myself, I've always appreciated things that work well much more than things that are pretty but which suffer on usability. So, Android may fit my personality better than webOS does. I dunno...we shall see. My hope is to have the EVO and the Pre on my person full time for a week or more so I can compare and contrast how each meets my needs. Maybe after that, Don and I will write up our thoughts. Should be fun, whichever way the decision falls. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
