I have been a palm user since its inception.

I think you did a huge mistake by not including
Palm Desktop and local sync. for Palm Pre.

As a hardcore fan I suggest changing your plan and commit to support
a desktop sync. mechanism for Pre (ideally with Palm Desktop).

Then publicly announce the plan and quickly allocation resources
to get that done as soon as possible.

It will cost you losing the battle to rivals if you don’t act quickly.

- A disappointed fan!

The device has received a big thumbs-up from all the major consumer gadget critics, including the very influential Engadget and Gizmodo blogs. But while the reviews are ensuring a strong launch for the device, if you’re looking to get your hands on one, don’t get your hopes up — so far they’re in short supply. (You can read my review here.)

I was surprised cuz he told me Monday he was soooo sick of hearing me talk about that effin phone!! lol – he got there at 6am there were 2 cars in the lot but nobody in line.
at 7:30 i told him to go start the line – sure enough a few more people followed. Our BB had 10 & I (technically my husband) was first in line.
BB rep came out at 9 and gave “line tix” and started the paperwork.
The first one they tried to activate was defective so sorry to the person who was #10 and didnt get a pre!!
I got mine and will be playing with it for the rest of the day (at least)!!!! Talk more at http://www.PalmPreForum.org see ya there.
