I've had a Sprint Pre since day one. I have had only 2 easily resolved problems. I have had The Pre Plus (for work) for about 6 months.
Here's the difference. Pre Plus has 2x the memory (I still haven't filled the memory on the Pre) Pre Plus comes with the Touchstone back Pre Plus replaces the Pre button with a tactile bar (which never bothered me) Pre Plus is reported to have a better keyboard but I see no difference between the two Pre Plus has a mobile hotspot. Pre monthly usage on Sprint: $70 plus tax & fees Pre Plus Monthly usage on Verizon: $150 plus ... I have no idea what AT&T charges. --- On Mon, 8/23/10, George Kontos <[email protected]> wrote: From: George Kontos <[email protected]> Subject: RE: [Treo] Still looking for a 700p replacement To: [email protected] Date: Monday, August 23, 2010, 7:02 PM Be sure to avoid the regular Pre that I believe only Sprint still carries. The newer Pre Plus has a lot more going for it and is available from Verizon, AT&T, and others.

This will throw those in authority off their guard and give you an opportunity to commit more... -- Mark Twain ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
