Not that I don't agree with what you are saying, but do you guys ever get the feeling that people say this just to get free diggs. I see this same exact comment at least 3 or 4 times on EVERY apple article.
Yes, I have. The UI is great, but it's pokey, there are no truly native apps (yet, at least) and the physical keyboard is tiny (usable, but tiny).It's a pretty tenuous assertion that anyone who tries a Palm Pre will automatically declare it the best phone of the year.
