all I can say about that keyboard is bleh. It seems like the cheap membrane keyboard on the atari 400. So not nice. I've got a phone with real keys now (samsung saga)- but i even had a centro for like a year and the pre just seems much worse than the centro. Maybe it's just that i haven't used the centro in about a year. But to get the pre to work I had to use my finger nails- very unpleasant- I'd like to use the tip of my finger and not my nails on a keyboard.

Hopefully the pre is a bit better. If not I might just be waiting around till the high end comes along- I figure they need to do something to replace the long line of Treo's for business users. Slider's just dont gain traction with the enterprise users and they all seem to expect a decent keyboard- hopefully the 3rd device has a real keyboard.

Yep, I hated the keyboard as well. I also didnt like the lack of 5way navpad either.
