Welcome aboard, I also have Pre about 4 months ago but then jumped to HTC Hero.
Congrats and Welcome.

Enjoy The Freedom.

Welcome to Project Jump Ship National Headquarters.

I also have a June 6 2009 Pre. While I do miss a few functions of WebOS, I don't miss the Pre at all.

Welcome! It would sure be interesting to see the stats on the number of Pre owners who have jumped ship in the last 30 days. I bet it is a staggering number. I am one, and don't regret it at all.

Another former Pre owner...

Count me in as another former Pre owner who jumped on the Evo bandwagon yesterday. Actually, I was pretty happy with my Pre. But it died on me this past weekend after an unfortunate encounter with water, so it was either shell out $100 for a refurb one through Asurion, or pay extra to get the Evo. After a few days of debating, I decided to go Evo. While I do miss aspects of webOS, the hardware of the Evo destroys the Pre. Love love love the screen!

I too got frustrated with my Palm Pre. I took my Leatherman and a bunch of pent up energy and went to town on my 3am standing in line launch day Pre. First, I stabbed and stabbed the screen. Then I twisted and pulled with all I could muster.

I had a Visor, and several Treos, but had such high hopes for Palm this time..... got my wife and daughter the Pre/Pixi..... I couldn't take it anymore! Finally, after a week in mourning and with no phone, i went to BB to get the Hero, but they happened to have EVO there thank the guardian angels.....


Picture attached

Tell Dieter I held out as long as possible..... 10 years on visor/pre central now I'm a Robot Fan Boy Go Google!

I think the numbers in the last 30 days will be minimal in comparison to the numbers in the next 30 days after HPalm announces great new hardware on July 12th for VZW and AT&T and leaves Sprint webOS lovers out in the cold. (Obviously, just my humble opinion)...

 

[christo1970]

yeah, it was working perfectly....

That was a bit extreme given you paid ~200 for it at launch. Perhaps a few anger management sessions would be in order? **ducks**

I figured I'd keep my Pre for use as a backup on the off chance I need to get a replacement for my EVO and was required to wait for any length of time.

Hmm.. Looks like I have the same version of Leatherman

 

[slimshady]

Yep pre to evo here too

 

[storino03]

i sold my pre with two touchstones for 175

 

[Kedar]

I use my Pre as backup.

The only bad thing about it is the hardware and lack of apps.
Otherwise, the UI was brilliant.

 

[mmcnamara43]

i too had the Pre and switched to the EVO 4G dont miss my Pre at all. i also sold mine w/ a crack in the screen (small 1 ) and a touchstone for 120.00.

 

[storino03]

mine sold with 3 cracks, by usb door, lower right, and upper right. fortunately he didn't notice. plus the usb door was loose and always fell off if I wasn't watching it.

 

[christo1970]

lol, yeah i should have sold it first. But it was nice to release all that pent up agression on the thing. It was a good Office Space moment, and my wife/daughter will get the touchstones....

I had the Pre for about a week. I actually liked it but the hardware issues became intolerable. If the hardware was more like my evo, I would have definitely kept it. But I am happy that I have an EVO now. I have never been this content with any smartphone I have ever owned.
