I'm a happy iPhone user, and I'll freely admit the Pre's social networking integration is simply miles ahead of Apple's. Hopefully some 3rd party developers will do the same as BeejiveIM on the iPhone and integrate alot of contact information into one app. Assuming apple lets them =/
I'm not so sure it is: it's a beautiful phone, and I'll reserve judgment for the moment, but it seems like more could have come from Synergy. E.g. you can't filter your contacts, it's all-or-nothing from Facebook. And integrating Facebook messaging/wall posting/sms messaging into one app would have been great, and all accessible from the contacts app. Similarly, integration of Facebook chat would have been nice in addition to GTalk etc; most people use FB chat these days.
Still, it's an advance on what we've currently got, here's to seeing more from Palm in future updates, and Apple's response.
