got a pre to play with for a few days
anyone want to know anything? ask away and ill be happy to answer as best i can 
one of my boys owns a few sprint stores and he got a couple pre's today
naturally i get to borrow one for a few days to mess with 
initial impressions: its a sweet looking device, web is working flawlessly, the cards move around smoothly, phone in general is working smoothly, i can easily type on the keypad comming from a touch pro and the screen is just down right gorgeous 
btw mine is the retail ship unit

Does it have any games? Is Pandora, Fandango, and all that stuff already installed? If pandora is installed, does it play music with the screen turned off, and how is the sound quality?

Funny - did you notice that even the example in the Pre User Guide looks like it is all smudged up! I have a Touch Pro now and I am used to wiping the screen-side all the time.

Load some music and video if you can and see how things work. Folders, grouping, quality etc.. Pics would be nice if you can.
How is the keyboad specifically compared the the pro? Spacing, size and ease of use?

I call hoax without pix!
Just kidding, wanted to be the first to say that. If you are hoaxing, though, a pox on you and your pets' progeny.
D'oh! Just saw the pix. So, no hoax. You rox!
