Re: Going to check out Palm Pre in person tomorrow

If you haven't done so already, check out signal quality from the carriers associated with your phones.

I've had Verizon, AT&T and Sprint within the last year. Of the 3, Sprint was the only one that gave me a usable signal at the 5 or 6 locations I visit most. All of them gave me good 3G service in most locations, just not at my most visited locations.

18 months ago I was set to get a blackberry until I got a hold of a pearl and a world edition and tried to type on both of them. That was the end of BBs for me. I support them for companies but I couldn't own one.

I finally settled on an AT&T Tilt. I liked it and their service. I only switched over to a Sprint Touch Pro, just because my company changed wireless providers.

It turned out to be a good move. My Touch Pro is terrific (once I added a cooked rom) and the Sprint service is much better in what had traditionally been problem spots.

More evidence that YMMV.

Thanks for info. I have a Kindle, which uses Sprint's network, and I find that signal strength has been good in all the areas I frequent most often. A friend has an AT&T phone and his has been good also. But coverage is definitely a key part of the evaluation.
