I'm still looking for a pic next to a Treo Pro.

In the salon, probably.
If you meant stylus, however, there is none, since it's a capacitive instead of resistive touchscreen.
And is that a ringer switch I see on top?!? Woot! Yet another wonderful reason to thank Palm!

Wonder how the keyboard feels like when typed on. Is it still as stiff as the one in Centro?

From another Thread:

...clip...

Been wanting an 800w since it came out. I figured I'd wait and see the Treo Pro at the end of the month, consider it or maybe get a sweet deal on an 800w when the Treo Pro came out. Damn you Palm! Now I'm stuck with my Mogul till June! My jaw dropped when I got to the side-by-side with the Centro!
This looks like a must-have. Palm has been betting the farm on this device for a long time..... Looks to me like it has paid off!

looks like they replaced the semicolon with the colon on the k key if I saw correctly; who uses a semicolon anyway?

I guess they'd like to see us do a little more of these
than these

What is the connector on the bottom?
Any pic of how the Pre mates with the power touchstone? Sounds like we need to clip something on to the phone, like a coupler, for it to charge off the stone. Maybe thats what the connector at the bottom is.
For my car audio setup up I will need a cable to the top for audio output and another cable on the side for power. Sounds messy. Any chance the micro USB can handle power and audio? That would be nice.

On Palm's site it mentioned that for the Touchstone, it would need a seperate battery cover, sold separately. I sure hope that changes.

I wonder if we replace the standard battery cover with a new one or does the Touchstone cover somehow attach to the existing cover.
Given focus on package design my guess is that the Touchstone will use a replacement cover.
Any pics of the Pre with the back cover removed?

Since I absolutely HATE the iPhone's on-screen keyboard, I may switch back to Palm for this. I'd been using Treo's since the 300 but when I finally upgraded to the Windows version, I ditched Palm AND my PC (was entirely sick of Microsoft). I'm definitely going to give this Pre some serious thought. It's just very important that many apps are available - from social networking to FTP/editing...
