I great option for people who don't want to buy an iPhone. I dont see the Pre as an “iPhone killer”, I see it as the anti-iPhone. I great option for people who don’t want to buy an iPhone.

I love that Zippo app :) No, but in seriousness, you are right, this phone has some major advantages on the iPhone, although I disagree with you about the keyboard, the iPhone's correction software makes it totally usable for me at least.

I am a Treo user who's anxiously awaiting this phone. You'd think as a diehard Mac user since '84 that I'd have the original Iphone, but I will never write another check to AT&T regardless of how great the Apple hardware is. My wife has a touchscreen phone with virtual keyboard. I quickly learned that I cannot get used to that. I've even used an Iphone for an extended period of time and can't get the hang of that keyboard either. The Pre looks to be the exact copy of my Treo 755p. I'm not looking for an Iphone or an Iphone killer. I was looking at the HTC Touch Pro before the Pre was introduced. I've never stood in line for a new product before, but I'll probably be among the first to buy one. It may not have all the apps that the Iphone does, but I just can't figure out how an animated image of a Zippo lighter makes my phone cool. The Pre looks to have enough of what I need in a phone, and as a web developer it sounds like if I need it extended that it could be a DIY project. Can't be a lover or a hater until the product ships, right? It’s quite easy to tell who owns an Iphone. I am a Treo user who’s anxiously awaiting this phone.

Second of all, Palm will have what they call the App Catalogue, which will be similar to the App Store, so let's wait and see how the apps are.

Its the Apps. period. At $399 this phone sucks… plus ur missing a very important point in why people lve their iPhones… its not the screen, or the elegance. Its the Apps. period.

The Pre offers many things that the iPhone does not. Just to list a few: Hardware keyboard, a2dp, replaceable battery, copy and paste (I am assuming), running multiple apps at the same time etc etc. There are more. So HTC seems to think that the Pre will outdo the iPhone and I am not sure I disagree. Hi Vito,

The question to be asked is why HTC it's not attempting to out-do the iPhone, the standard of excellence (if market share is to be considered as the indicator of excellence in this case)?

I did not mean that it has literally overtake the iPhone of course. Just the fact that HTC now wants to design a Pre-Killer is impressive to me. Don't you agree? Hi Vito,
