- An indicator light (the Pre would look really slick with a nice, discreet light near one of its corners. Of course, in all their wisdom, Palm would fail to have an option to disable it.

- The 5-way rocker. Why they didn't make the Pre's button a rolling ball like in the BB still amazes me. It would make navigation so much cleaner -you'd still have the option of either doing on screen gestures/touches or using the ball.

- Windows Me-style boot process. Have you EVER seen a slower phone booting up? Luckily, I've set myself to "reboot it" only on occasion, but still.

Let me add what I don't miss from ANY of my previous Treos:

- ugly (but functional) UI
- slow (granted, native apps like Calendar -a working in progress on the Pre- were wicked fast
