I just got the Palm Pre and wow...It's the best phone Sprint has ever come out with. I got sick and tired of the HTC Mogul, and wanted something similar to the iphone...May I say wow again...If you have sprint and are tired of your Mogul, make the switch, you will not be dissapointed.... BTW, the only phone other that the iphone that you can sync itunes with!!!

Let us know how you get on with it - I'm thinking of getting one. Provided the MS Exchange integration is compatible with our setup at work I'd definitely refer a Pre to my current Blackberry (I'm still keeping my iPhone though!)

I might have to consider this. I had the mogul and that phone is junk. I swithced to the instinct and my boyfriend has the touch. He hates the touch and i kind of like my instinct.

im staying with sprint because my uncle works for sprint and im on his plan so my phone cost me like 11 dollars a month. I get everything included in my 11 dollar a month package. It would be foolish for me to switch. plus the iphone service package cost like $125 dollars per month. Thats crazy expensive in my eyes.

Craig, that sounds like legal talk. Have you ever considered becoming a lawyer like Scott?

I opted for the iphone, but my brother went with the Pre. IMO, the hardware needs to be changed. It has a "cheap" feel to it. Please don't take that personally. Just my opinion. I do like the application use and dusting feature to close an app. Very very cool. One thing I hate about my iphone is only being able to run a single app at a time. Thankfully, they fixed the message alert issue in 3.0. Overall, it's still annoying.

In any case, enjoy your new phone. I don't think you can go wrong with either!
