I'm due for a new phone now. There are rumors that the Pre will eventually hit Verizon (probably around the first of the year), but I'm not sure I can wait that long. I've checked out the Palm forums a few times to see how the new phone is going and I'm seeing some problems. The worst are screens cracking and horrible battery life. I expect these are all things that they will get worked out, but I'm kind of glad I wasn't able to jump on the 1st generation. I'm pretty sure I'm going to get a Blackberry "Tour" when Verizon offers them in July.
