All the features the iPhone didn’t have, now has!!! (ie, Cut, Copy and Paste, Send photos, contacts, audio files, and location via MMS, Read and compose email and text messages in landscape, push notification, etc.) It has over “100″ new features!!!

Check out the link below and watch the presentation, to see for yourself all you doubters!!!

No complaints, ever. I look forward to owning a Pre someday. BUT, no way can I go with Sprint. Sprint is ok in New York City in some areas, but no good whatsoever in San Francisco and environs. have gone to Verizon which is great. Now all I have to do is wait till Verizon sells the Pre and I will be very happy.
