  1. i have the Pre now. …
    i have the Pre now…had it 6 days…and my replacement for it (HTC HERO) is already on the way…

    I LOVE the Pre’s WebOS…it’s freaking awesome, but, (and its’s a BIG BUT), the actual hardware is CRAP…6 days and my Pre is already suffering from the “OREO EFFECT” and the DEAD PIXEL SYNDROME…not to mention, if I wait another maybe 3 months or so…it will also start the discoloration effect.

    So….as much as i love the webOS…Im switching to the HTC HERO.

    He said the Hero is multi-touch. Is that true. I thought it didn’t have multi touch ability till the 2.1 Update in June.

    I’ve owned the pre and hero. for us people who like to hack our devices in a more complete manner. the hero is better. pre is solid, and the proccessor can be overclocked. which is awesome. but the fact of the matter is this. pre launched after droid. palm is going under. $3 a share. they shipped 800k units and sold half. if you want a device that gives you more functionality and is going to be alive in the years to come. go with the hero/android. pre is a wonderful idea, but thats it.

  6. The Hero made best …
    The Hero made best smartphone of 2009 and besides that hun buisness ppl like me dont care for ’simplicity’ we need good email integration and conference calling. The Iphone is great but you’d be surprised at how little buisness users care for smartphones like iphone and pre despite there many buisness apps. The Cumbersome movement is the hardware the Sprint one moves alot better (in case you didnt know)

    hero is the worest a moment is wayyy bettter then a hero. i Owned both. the Pre is just a clean phone. Feels more put together then android but moment is great if u like android… but pre is a power house compared to the hero and the moment

  9. The HTC is such a …
    The HTC is such a POS. Did you notice how the horizontal on-screen keyboard takes up the entire screen for the HTC…completely stupid. Go with a Pre and you won’t regret it.

  24. I don’t have either …
    I don’t have either and WAS tied between the two.
    I would completely go with the Pre for web browsing and media and I really decided I don’t care much for the Hero. (BTW: If you don’t already know, the actual U.S. Hero looks way better) I’m not a big fan of the scroll wheel personally, but meh. I am now deciding on either the Pre or Pixi depending on keyboard usability.
    Hope I helped, GO PRE!! lol
