the palm pre has a good os, but i've heard its little ram halts performance of multitasking. that plus the fact that i've read lousy reviews of the keyboard. the pre plus on the other hand, seems good. however, screen size is 3.2 inches, for the same price (well, they cost the same over here in my country. in fact the pre costs more) i would rather the 3.5 inches on the n900.
