Sorry to come into this discussion late. I just got my Pre mid last week, so I'm still gathering impressions of the device, trying to give it a fair shake. So far I like it, and I think it makes a good alternative to the iPhone. I just thought I'd add a little bit of Linux-related Pre info. My workplace currently uses Communigate Pro (we'll be moving to Exchange in a few months), which has ActiveSync emulation which they call "AirSync". It had worked fairly well for us on WinMo devices, rather poorly on PalmOS, and nearly perfect on iPhone. However its interaction with the Pre is dismal. It failed to sync ANY PIM data, and would only show me one ancient email from my Inbox, which it would persistently mark unread. So if any of you are running Communigate Pro on any of your linux servers, I would suggest against advising your users to try the Pre until Stalker gets it working properly, unless you feel like battling it out with support. I also noticed mention in this thread about the seemingly non-standard USB port on the Pre. At first I was flummoxed when I noticed this as well, until I realized that the Pre is using the newer "Micro" USB port, not the "Mini" USB that is found on most smartphones and smaller USB peripherals today. Though I haven't tried it myself, I've read of others that have HTC device chargers with the same MicroUSB port, and they have successfully used them in conjunction with the Pre. I know having to buy new adapters and cables is frustrating given how prevalent the MiniUSB devices had become, but at least it is a standard port and not actually proprietary, just currently rare. - John
