With the pixi (and my old treo 680), picking the thing up and typing a couple of characters to narrow down to the app I want is pretty easy. With the Pre it's: pick it up, hit the button if necessary to get to card view, slide open (which I can't do easily with 1 hand), and then type. Definitely not ideal. I wouldn't give up the bigger screen on the Pre because of this, of course. But it's one more thing to live with! Sam
