I've been using a Spring Pre for several months. had a few initial
problems, but eventually got the bugs worked out. I works very well with
Google calendars and contacts. I find that I use Google through my
browser when I'm at my desk, though it also seems to be reliably syncing
with Thunderbird via the Zindus add-in. I've take to doing most of my
email on the Pre, and most of my calendaring - using Google as a backup
system.
I have two problems with the Pre I regard as serious, but not
quite deal breakers - at least so far.
a) it sometimes is aggravtingly slow to load apps, especially the
calendar, and even with an 800MHz kernel installed.
b) The email client has a couple of shortcomings, most serious of
which is when you delete a message, there's no option letting you tell
it to go to the next message.
There are a few other things I wish it would do, but for the most part
they're not serious enough to remember except when they crop up.
I love new tech stuff, and when my year is up and I'm eligible for
an upgrade, I'll look. if something else does what i want that the Pre
doesn't, or does what the Pre does only better. The camera, speed and
on-screen keyboard (I wish the Pre had a decent onscreen keyboard but
the two offerings on Preware had serious problems - for me) of the EVO
4G is inviting, so I'll keep reading about it - but as things stand
right now, the Pre does a fine job.
It does take a little getting used to, but it works well, is rock
steady, and looks really cool and space-techie.

If brute force isn't working, you're not using enough of it.
