I was at the mall yesterday and popped into the Bell Mobility store.
I finally got to play with the Prē.
My thoughts? It was ridiculously sluggish. The actual interface had stellar graphic transitions and I enjoyed the iPhone-esque swiping to move between applications, as well as the "home" button (or what felt more like a nipple than a button). On the whole though I felt that the hardware couldn't keep up. It was slow and at times cumbersome to use, and there seemed to be the most frustrating delay between tapping on the screen and when a little ripple would show up where I touched. WebOS seems promising as a viable contender to iPhone OS and I think that software wise, the Prē should keep Apple innovating (while Motorola's Droid should keep Apple's hardware advancing) but on the whole - it needs some work.
