It certainly does seem snappy opening up apps and the like. Gosh i want the pre to do that...

I guess he got tired of people seeing the video he posted on the internet for people to see?

Wow, people actually think it looks bad? If they replaced the guts with a Pre, I'd switch in a heartbeat. That thing is gorgeous.

I agree.. Pixi with Pre guts is something I'd go for.

It looks nice enough... but I'm quite happy with the Pre's form factor.

My wife might like this one better, but a video recorder is a deal breaker for her, and she's not willing to wait for it.

Are you happy with the Pre's build quality - it's external hardware?

This is somewhat disappointing to see that the Pixi is MUCH snappier than my Pre. Hopefully this is something that WebOS 1.3.1 will fix!

I honestly haven't had many problems.

I wouldn't mind it feeling a little sturdier, but I have dropped mine a couple times already without any ill effect. I also have no "Oreo" effect.

The worst thing I have dealt with on the hardware side is the phone acting like the headset was in when it wasn't... which was easily fixed by a restart.

All other issues I've had have been network issues with Sprint.

So it's quite possible to find a pretty decent Palm Pre unit .. I hope I'll be as lucky.

Damnit, it's been removed...

Edit: I found this. Not sure if it's the same one posted or not.
