I will agree the screen is a little bigger however lets keep in mind that your fingers on the Pre will not be occupying that .4 inch difference since the gesture area starts below the screen. That gives you complete view of your screen without interuption. I will say, the screen shots and photos do make the iphone look smaller but I was also comparing which one looks nicer graphically and I still have to say I think the Pre is a bit more "clean" looking.

Although I do agree that the iphone may not have anything on the calendar, I do like from the demo of the Pre's calendar, the accordian style to filter out unused time which can be expanded by touching the fold. Definitely a great touch.

The web browser is to be determined as the pictures do not do either one justice.

Im still pro Pre and think think it will prove to be better when released but we'll never know till its out.

While it may not be a good comparison of which has a better quality hardware screen, or which size of screen is easier to work with, the comparison is still valid for looking at things like how the icon artwork is done, the layout of screen elements, and the fact that the Mail application allows you to view all inboxes at once! (Something that the iPhone woefully lacks, which is surprising since Mail.app is awesome in the way it does that. Maybe 3.0 will fix that.) And as he said, it is mostly a matter of taste with respect to layout and artwork.

Personally I love the way the Pre WebOS looks and is reported to function. As with the iPhone before it came out, only hands-on testing will say how good it really is or isn't. But based on what I have seen, I want, want, want a Pre as bad as champsf does (I think).

Hey, thanks for letting me know! I hadn't seen that yet. While I am definitely excited about confirmation of a time frame, I am slightly disappointed about the carrier. I was hoping for Telus as that is who my hubby just signed up with. Oh well, haha.
