Taking my Pre into the wild today

I've had a chance to use my Pre a little bit. Keep in mind that I refused to pay AT&T's exorbitant data fee so on my old windows mobile phone I only had voice and limited text. I'm guessing that part of my learning curve is more in relation to that rather than the Pre itself.

Here are some initial thoughts:
  • I prefer a firm key rather than a rubbery key. These are usable though.
  • I'm having trouble with the ringer settings not being loud enough.
  • Pandora works like a champ!
  • I need an app that will allow me to upload to twitpic instead of via email ---> twitpic
  • Screen is beautiful
  • Keyboard is very usable
  • Camera takes a nice pic
  • Touchstone charger is nice albeit I feel a bit lazy using it. (how hard it is to plug it in?)
I've been asked about battery life and I can't say yet. I'm taking it into the wild today and will report back.

I really think this phone is for everyone, ie not geared to a specific group of people. I counted the people in line yesterday and it was almost 50/50 as far as men vs women. Most people seemed around my age which was mid 30's. There was a couple of teenage girls, a guy in a business suit etc. Myspace is for the teens, facebook and google for the 30's and exchange for the business peeps.

We'll see how it goes. It is a really pretty phone.
