Because the Pre's hardware is one thing and the software (webOS) is another. If you didnt get to play with the OS then you didn't experience the Pre. Although, wait till I get to part two of the story, and you'll see that the Pre has its shortcomings. The smartphone holy grail hasn't been found yet. What was the deal breaker?

I'll get to that in my part two (after about a week's use). Camera too, but I like the shape and size - more phone-like than an iPhone. I actually like the Pixie form factor a lot more. I use a Nokia E71 as my primary phone. Yeah, the kb isn't the best. I'll get to that in my part two (after about a week's use).

If I'm going to accommodate the extra bulk for the hardware QWERTY mechanism then it has to be worthwhile.

Wasn't convinced by Pre hardware tbh - keyboard too small, some sharp edges which made it feel unfinished, and camera pretty dire - but if they came out with a side-slider that had a broader keyboard then I'd be v.tempted.
