I don't really see how the Pre is much different from other smartphones, except this one is more like the iphone.
What's the big selling point? That anti-Apple nerds can now buy a phone almost as good as an iphone - minus itunes, the app store and perfect UI? Sounds like a winner!
But you're forgetting about the "ZOMG, IT DOES TRUE MULTI-TASKING" argument.
We'll see how good it actually is.
Let's see how well youtube vids play while you're signed into AIM, and then you get a phone call, and hang up. You're high off your ass if you don't think this is probably going to be buggy as shit at launch. I wouldn't be surprised if they end up crippling it in the future.
God I can't wait until this thing isn't nearly as awesome as you Anti-Apple fanbois are convinced it will be.
sysphus, my point was that they really do want an iphone, but probably can't afford one. But now they have something that's not quite as usefel but might give them some cred on tech blogs for a few weeks

Why would an "anti-Apple nerd" want itunes, the app store, or the iPhone's UI?
minus perfect ui. Uh, have you even seen any screenshots or videos of the pre? Looks gorgeous!
PREACH!!!!!
