Will Pre manhandle Iphone

[connie]

I played with a Pre today at Radio Shack. To be fair it's a nice phone, BUT.....I HATED the keyboard. I could not get past it. It was awkward, small, I could never live with it no matter how nice the phone itself is. The phone is nice but I don't think I will get one now, the no video thing also is a big minus in my book.

Connie, I so agree with you. I too checked out the Pre at Best Buy and that was exactly my reaction. There were features that I really liked though. It is an awesome looking little phone with multi-tasking and and great gestures and user interface. When I slid out the keyboard I couldn't get over just how tiny the keys were, and I have small fingers too.

I was using the keyboard better with my nails than I could with my fingers so I can't imagine it being easy for you guys/boys/men. But I did like the phone too until I slid out the keyboard. I just don't know if I could live with that.

I'm going to run to Best Buy tomorrow to see the Pre. It'll have to wait until AFTER the WWDC of course.

The keyboard on the Pre is similar to that of the Treo. Never again will I use old fashioned cell phones with an actual keyboard. I'll stick with Apple and it's touchscreen.

Connie, check out the video feature on the new iPhone 3GS. I think you will be impressed.
