They should seriously ditch the slider on the Pre, it kills my productivity tenfold.

Price wise is also weird, due to "ailing sales" you can find both the Pre and Pixi for free. That just doesn't help differentiate which smartphone is better.
I don't understand how one or the other can be marketed as a great "first smartphone". They both have the SAME OS and do the SAME things, if someone can use the pixi they can use the pre as well, lol, marketing...

I'm hoping for the second release of webOS devices on sprint that there will be an "upgraded" pixi, I think they've realized that the pixi is the better form factor. I'm betting on seeing a beefed up pixi (or something similar with new name) this year.
