I just saw the Pre in Best Buy yesterday and I can't believe how much hype this garbage phone is getting.
Just like I expected, the keyboard is only suitable for midget fingers. I have tiny hands and my thumb pressed down on the thing covered up nine keys. You can't type on the Pre- it's way too small.
The space for the Gesture Area is incredibly tiny- as so the screen.
Really unimpressed. Couldn't care less about WebOS when you got crippled hardward that's too small and unsuitable for any sort of productivity.
cmon now, a visit to best buy isn't going to tell you the whole story, and the learning curve is a couple days and totally worth it. i love the keyboard, i've had 2-3 mistakes total on it in the last 4 weeks (although i am half asian, small kind of asian, so my fingers are a bit on the petit side) as opposed to my girlfriend whose iphone messages are difficult to read often because of missed letters. webOS is totally worth it too, trust me. i mean navigation and music simultaneously with music ducking when the voice gives you turn by turn phones? we'll be seeing that on iPhone ... never, since they rejected multi tasking.
I have large hands, and I have no issues typing on my Pre. I miss the keys I wanted as often as I do on a full size keyboard. So when I miss I know it is me and not the tiny keyboard. I can also type nearly as fast on my Pre as I can on my computer. The keyboard took a couple of days to get used to. But now I am typing as fast as my 21 year old cousin who has a keyboard on her LG as well.
My hands are the size of dinner plates and my index finger often presses both buttons on a mouse because it is so wide. I have trouble urinating and suffer from migraines. I have no problem typing on the Pre's keyboard.

I've got giant hands, and have no trouble typing away on its keyboard.
But with the virtual keyboard this other phone has, it would mess up all the time.
you need the Gigger Bug Pre!

Are you fat? It really looks like you are.
it's about the same keyboard's size than a BB.
