Ya but it isn'tthat different. It is just a different way of inputting it to pull up contact info. Does the pre havevsomthibg where you press a button/icon and say what you want to search, navigate to, call someone, or text some one....... DROID DOES. haha I couldn't help myself.

It can be a more efficient way of getting it done. I agree there are different ways to do things and some ways appeal to certain people. I don't regret having an android phone now and I can get things done in different ways but there was something nice about pulling my phone out, sliding it open and being able to type 2 keys and have the contact I was looking for right there. It was very efficient.
Every phone has its pros/cons.
My wife loves her DEVOUR more than she ever did her pre plus. nuff said.
The cards setup was pretty cool though. but the hardware was terrible, and the phone was laggy and slow.

I have tried to stay out of this but I can hold my tongue no longer. After having the sprint pre for 6 months I wouldn't touch a pre again if they paid me. While the notifications were nice the phone hardware and software were still in beta when released. While polished it lacked functionality to many basic features were missing. Having the too many cards open issue with one open happened daily. The browser was nice and notifications were ok. But when they pop back up after being swiped off the screen becomes more of a headache. While the OS has potential the competition isn't going to slow down for them. they need another device with better specs much better build quality. I've dropped my Droid more times than I can remember and the spider is still rock solid. The pre never for drooped and was looser

You do know they fixed that right?
Its on par, just as fast or faster, than any Android phone including the Incredible.
The Palm Pre needs to be discontinued, and everyone that has them get an free upgrade to the Palm Pre Plus.
You would not have any issue that you are having.

I loved my Pre and only switched to the Droid because we went from Sprint to Verizon before the Pre Plus came out. I love the Droid a bit more though because it's just built so much better. My Pre wasn't a pile of crap by any means. Both had very good operating systems on them. The Droid is just much more solid.
I came from the Sprint Pre to the Driod, on Verizon.
The Pre's software was a dream. I absolutely adored Web OS. It's polish, etc, was top notch. That said, the Pre itself was a terribly built, cheap feeling device. I played with a Droid about a month ago, and was impressed with Android 2.1 and the overall "quality" of the Droid. The phone is just solid.

When it comes down to it, its all differing opinion, not facts.
Keep it civil, keep it friendly, or keep yourselves out

Had a sprint pre for several months and played with a plus a few weeks ago. Unfortunately speed wise, the Driod and more so the Incredible is much quicker. The problem is not just the hardware but the OS as well. Android apps run natively unlike those on webOS which makes a huge difference in performance. Feature wise webOS is also lacking although it's getting better albeit slowly. And even with the overclock patch the Pre is no match. WebOS needs some core performance updates plus very capable hardware to match the high end Android phones. Also, IMO, the Pre Plus should have never been made. They should have poured all their resources into a large screen slab / side slide design with at least a 1 ghz processor and 1 gig of ram.
Then why are you in an android forum. Either you have an android phone or you want one haha.
i had a pre and it was a sissy phone, even my wife looked at me screw face when i said it was called a Pre, lol. DROID for life.
haha that is great. The Palm Pre/Pixi are great phones....... if your a girl. jk
the way i see it Android is an overall better operating system. Look at it this way:
The first android handset was released on T-Mobile and there was only 1 device for a while. The Palm Pre was released on Sprint and the Pixi followed not much longer. T-mobile and Sprint are both on the bottom of the totem pole when it comes to the bigger cellphone carriers. The only phones that sold really well on T-Mobile were sidekicks. Sprint had a pretty good selection of phones and had more customers especially since nextel is a branch of Sprint.
The G1 sold really well consistently and as for the Pre/Pixi it didn't do nearly as well as it could have. Palm screwed themselves and this was a critical effort on their part because it would make or break them.
At the speed Google releases their updates and their phones they are going to be unstoppable. This is good because everybody with an Android handset will always be getting new features (this is also taking into account that you dont keep the phone for 3+years). Apple can't even compete to this because they release 1 phone a year and their release format is so locked up that developer lack the room to breathe and use their full potential of creativity.
The downside to Android is that with all they are making available to their software it seems like the Monopoly police will start coming down on them. If they release everything from VVM, turn by turn navigation, e-books (rumored) etc... for free then they will start being the cause to a lot of companies going under which will raise a lot of red flags. And everybody knows that corporations would rather throw mud at their competitors and also have legal disupute rather then actually changing their business strategy and adapt to the new market and work to improve themselves (example at&t).
as for all things, we will have to see what happens and who will dominate
