Overall, the phone is great in terms of software. I would like it to excel and succeed because the competition is always good for us – the consumers.

My qualms are mainly about the hardware and a couple of other things namely:
- Minimum support for other languages (besides the English and Spanish). This is a huge item for me and this is also a reason why I have to get iPhone. It cannot read the webpages that I most frequently visit. I tend to not browse internet at work and this is why I got a Pre but that was not achieved. I’m sure the support will come in time but it’ll be a couple of years before any real language support.
- The apps are very few and the ones that are there (either on App Catalog or with the device) are not as polished. Examples: the facebook interface lacks several simple details (e.g. be able to look at the comments on a post); the email has no landscape mode.
- The phone itself feels too plasticky. I would like something more sturdy like some of the HTC phones.
- Due to the sliding keyboard, you can almost feel that the top part (the one with screen) starts to swivel a bit.
- The power switch is not in the best location and is a bit of a let-down since you have to press it (instead of the center button) to get the phone out of stand-by. The charging port is flimsy with a clunky cover.
- I think a little larger screen will definitely give more real estate for reading email, texts, and web pages.
- I was disappointed with the phone function and the speaker volume as well…

Overall, it is a great phone and I am sure that in a year or two, they’ll have better hardware, improved casing, and enhanced OS to continue building on this great project called the Pre…
