After looking at it for a while I thought why doesnt Palm do away with the slider and reshape the Pre as a Candybar phone. Just keep thr touchscreen and add the keyboard below. Push the screen as far up as possible as well as the single button.

I know this would elongate the Palm from 10cm to perhaps 12cm. But Overall it would be for me the killer device.

The Pre is the same width as a BBerr Curve - 60mm but because its keyboard is on a slider its far smaller.

If someone can mock up this image it will show that it could be a the ideal device. Youmight say this is the EOS but the screen on the EOS is square - the screen size on the Pre is just right.
