Everything that you said is true but… when you have the phone is it awesome. I can’t put it down to be honest with you. I have a case on it so I don’t feel the sharp edges also the Palm Centro had the same keyboard just as little spaced out on the Pre. I really enjoy my Pre and I wouldn’t change it for anything else. Also would love to record videos!!!

i havent had any problems with the keyboard or “sharp” edged. dont feel them at all. as for size of keyboard, works just fine, the feel of each keys is great. lets me type one handed without looking. want the apps quickly and would like to be able to set different tones for email and text. so far only able to change ringers (way easy). push gmail is awesome. battery life on this is same as my treo 800w. way worth the hype!

As a former Palm user, then iPhone user, I have to say the Pre is PREtty amazing. The hardware does feel a little cheap, but it’s nice and light. The keypad has a wierd squishy, glossy feel and some ugly orange color (for my taste) but seems to work well. So far I’m really surprised at how well it all works. Now we just need an emulator that will allow it to run Skype and a bunch of iPhone apps

The Pre gets pretty warm while charging compared to the Centro.

The Touchstone charger should charge at pretty much the same speed as the plug-in charger. Be sure you are using the AC adapter and cable that CAME WITH the Pre to power the Touchstone, and NOT some other charger cable or adapter!

People have to be kidding about this sharp edges comment! I’ve been using it since yesterday and I didn’t even notice the sharp edges until I saw the comment on here and on other review. The keyboard damn small, but still damn better than an onscreen!

You nailed it. The smallish keyboard takes getting used to but it’s a cool phone. This written on my Pre.
