\"palmpre2\"<\/a>I waited till after the weekend to check out the Palm Pre. I was not happy when I saw the first iamges and they had a portrait keyboard instead of a landscape like the G1.\u00a0 Well, I still held out hope.\u00a0 … Hopes were dashed.<\/p>\n

First the plus sides.\u00a0 The device feels good in my hand and the UI makes sense.\u00a0 As I played with it, the OS seemed to keep up well enough.\u00a0 The phone did get a bit warm, but that could have been because I was pushing it.<\/p>\n

However, its the keyboard I want.\u00a0 And it just did not feel good. If I typed slowly, I could get it to work well enough, but that is what I do on the iPhone now.\u00a0 I need a keyboard where I can type faster and longer then currently. \u00a0Also, the screen is smaller then the iphone. For some people, a smaller phone may be important, but I’m not one of those people.<\/p>\n

So now it comes down to two. Either the G1 or the new iPhone(S) ‘and remember, the ‘S’ is for speed! ‘\u00a0 whatever<\/em>..<\/p>\n

{update} \u00a0I gave the G1’s keyboard another try. \u00a0FAIL! \u00a0I forgot how much I did not like the G1’s keyboard because of poor spacing, key size and the fact the keys are recessed. \u00a0Ug.<\/p>\n
