- With Sprint you get more capability for the money compared to AT&T and Verizon. The simply everything is about $60 (if you have the employee referral discount - $70 normally) and the equivalent plan at AT&T is $100.
- Pre's "card" system is great for multitasking. You can have many apps opened at once. It'll also handle incoming events nicely.
- Google support. The pre integrates nicely with Google's mail, calendar, maps, contacts. This was a big plus for me as I already had all that set up with Google and it's free.
- The screen is HVGA and large.
- Cool accessories like the radiant recharging system that requires no cables.
- Gesture system is nice for navigation. To go "back", simply swipe the gesture area right to left.
- Web browser is fast and intuitive. It supports the pinch zoom in and out.
- Pandora application is sweet.
- When you plug it into a PC via usb, it's seen as a USB drive.
- Sprint navigation is unlimited and operates just like a GPS.
- The plan I have gives me unlimited everything except for minutes (which are 500) for $60 a month. So that's navigation, streaming tv, data, texting, etc..
- Keyboard though visually appears very small is actually quite usable.
- I used it a lot yesterday for pictures, GPS, google maps, and web surfing during the day and the battery almost ran out by the time I went to bed. It's a pretty good trade off for all the functionality though.
