Does anyone else dislike the keyboard on the Pre? I think it stinks compared to my Bold or Curve. When you first open it and see that tiny keyboard it seems way too small. Maybe this will prevent BB users who are used to great keyboards from switching?

@Ted, I think that it might be.

RIM so should have bought Palm back in December when there stock price was down to like a dollar.

What a drag with the hardware issue lol the phone dies when you close it.

Don’t you just hate when things go wrong with a launch!

But it seems that the features are outweighing the hardware issues which is a good sign meaning that people are not giving up on it completely.

This could be a lifesaver for Palm.

Palm with the Pre shows it’s not up to the quality which is expected in the smartphone market. The Pre is looking to be a niche device at best, no where near what Palm was able to accomplish with the hugely successful Treo devices.

I’m typing this from my Pre as well. I don’t have any of the hardware issues that I’ve seen posted on the web. Guess I’m lucky. The only complaint I have so far is the weak battery and slight sluggishness at times. I’m sure it will be corrected with a software update (the sluggishness).

Good catch Dave…

I meant both a stable OS and stable hardware…

I think your first paragraph is a bit redundant.

“with both a stable OS and and a stable operating system.”

One of my coworkers just told me that they had a hardware issue with their Pre but they figured it out in the store and was able to get a working model before they walked out.

He said that you didn’t even have to slide out the keyboard to make it reboot. You just had to shake it and it would freeze.
