I also heard they are going to try to make it so you cant tether with this phone… im sure they’ll find a way around that…

But it would be a deciding factor for me… its nice to have internet on road trips with no extra cost.

I don’t think there was any store in WNY that had more than 6 of them. Most stores had a couple if any.

I do really like this phone. I would love to get my hands on one and check it out and see how itlives up to the hype it got.

The layered calendars and application cards looked awesome and want to see how it works on top of the fact it syncs with iTunes.

Can you keep the SERO plan with any of the new phones? My HTC Touch is due for an upgrade. The Pre looks pretty sweet

word on the street is you MUST have the everything plan or the limited minutes “everything else” plans…

ie. yea you need to give up your sero… im sure if you bitched you might be able to get sprint to back off… not sure though

↑ Yes, when I got my phone yesterday they “made” me switch or she couldn’t activate it. I am calling tomorrow and bitching and getting it down to $50 a month for the unlimited plan or else I am threatening to cancel.

I am seriously impressed.

Hopefully if they can’t release the pre, they will have another piece of hardware to release the WebOS software on with Verizon.
