And you know... it would just lovely if someone can confirm being able to use an iPad's micro sim in one of these (or any other AT&T smartphone for that matter) through an adapter of some sort. I'd drop for this in a heartbeat if I could go that route.

Agreed. Something tells me a couple things come into play here:

It's hard to compete with Verizon's pricing (and free WiFi Hotspot), but I'm guessing Big Red has a couple warehouses full of these [the Pre]. They probably expected a much better showing, but the Droid and now Incredible are eating into those sales (along with Palm's crummy initial advertising). AT&T also doesn't want to step on any toes (Apple) so it's hard to say what goes on in the shadows. I can't think a GSM version of the same phone costs *that* much more than a CDMA version. ]]>May 10th 2010 3:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/pre-plus-comes-to-atandt-on-may-16-149-99-with-free-touchstone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/pre-plus-comes-to-atandt-on-may-16-149-99-with-free-touchstone/
You have to activate the Pre Plus' hotspot feature for a fee. It's not free. It's able to, but not automatically free.

Overheard this @ a Verizon Wireless store while someone else asked about it. ]]>May 10th 2010 3:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/pre-plus-comes-to-atandt-on-may-16-149-99-with-free-touchstone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/pre-plus-comes-to-atandt-on-may-16-149-99-with-free-touchstone/

HP...Actually, lets join the party and blame Adobe...

However, it is actually due to Apple and their meddling in AT&T's offerings...They probably have some kind of a clause that states a strong competition should not be offered if they want to keep the exclusive deal on the iPhone, which is why we don't see any good Android phones from AT&T...Nexus One doesn't count, since it isn't offered by the carrier...]]>May 10th 2010 3:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/pre-plus-comes-to-atandt-on-may-16-149-99-with-free-touchstone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/pre-plus-comes-to-atandt-on-may-16-149-99-with-free-touchstone/May 10th 2010 2:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/pre-plus-comes-to-atandt-on-may-16-149-99-with-free-touchstone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/pre-plus-comes-to-atandt-on-may-16-149-99-with-free-touchstone/

I also find it useful if I'm waiting for something to arrive since notifications stay up & visible, instead of just going to a generic "blink" of the button.

My Pre is kernel'd at 800 mhz.
Basically, this phone zooms. Apps load in less than 1-2 seconds, and coupled with multitasking, it makes the phone one of the best in use.

So basically, if Palm releases a phone with a larger screen, 1ghz+ processor, better battery, version 1.5.0... we could see some crazy stuff happening for WebOS and palm.
