[Ghoulish Delight]

I generally agree, but a year and a half of having a Motorola Q has definitely made me more amiable to something like the Pre. The Q is buggy, underpowered, and seriously lacking in apps and support...and yet I've managed to make it a very useful tool for myself.

Aided in no small part by the fact that I have the patience and knowledge to fight with half-working crap until I figure out how to get it working. I would certainly like the convenience of an iPhone where, for the most part at least, things are available, tested, and supported. But it's not a necessity for me. So the Pre, which seems to be garnering widespread appeal, will likely be an ideal middle ground for me, saving me some money and garnering significantly better community support than the Q, if not as good as the iPhone's. With the added benefit of being marginally non-conformist.
