I had my Pre for less than 3 whole days so this is hardly a comprehensive review but rather a report of my experience since so many people asked me about why I returned it.

I headed to the Sprint store and got there around 8:50, by 9:40 everything was complete other than loading my contacts and some basic instructions on how to use it. But we ran into a glitch, they couldn’t get my contacts to load. Now the employees were wonderful and it was not fault of theirs, but I didn’t actually leave the store until 12:30. I headed home and plugged in my Pre to fully charge the battery and download the latest version of the software. Once I started using it noticed right away that my signal at home was weak.
