First post with Palm Pre

I finally got the Palm Pre. I have been looking at it for a long time. After my wife got her iPhone, I was wondering if should get iPhone 3Gs instead, because iPhone looks so good and it has excellent language support that Pre lacks. Pre can read Chinese, but cannot input Chinese. Finally, a post in precentral.net reminded of the low Sprint plan that I cannot live without.

So, here I am typing on Pre. So far it has been great. I have not run into all the issues people talked about on the web. But I only downloaded a few programs and have not tried the rooting or Homebrew apps.

The keyboard is great, because after I tried the iPhone on screen keyboard, it is clear it is not worrking well for me.

Multitasking is also as good as I expected. I never have to worry about saving the work for a quick check of things.

The biggest worry now is how well Pre will compete with iPhone. Palm can stay alive long enough, I clear see it ability of multitasking will win. However, the lack of Apps and some other problems associated with a new product has to be resolved quickly.
