Another Pre guy here (Zyphlin over at PreCentral). I prefer WP7 as an OS, prefer the specs of the Android phones, but the iPhone seems to be the best balance of them both with the best app catalog (in part because I already own a lot due to my iPad2).
Bought the phone off contract since my job MAY convert to the iPhone now that iOS5 improves some security things, in which case I'd sell the phone and just use my business phone at all times. Plus I figure this way next year I can get the iPhone5 which should be a new design rather than simply an update on an upgrade plan and change carriers if need be.
I'm really going to miss my Touchstone.
Looks like there are a bunch of us. Sprint user here (for 13 years) and all my previous smartphones have been Palms. I will say that I'm going to miss WebOS, especially 3.0. I would stack WebOS 3 up against iOS any day. However, now that HP has killed it and now that Sprint is getting the iPhone, I am eager to convert. I exchanged my (non $99) TouchPad for an iPad2 the day HP announced they were throwing in the WebOS towel and pre-ordered an iPhone 4s to replace my ailing Palm Pre.
I've been reading about all these Apple fans disappointed in the 4s... But these folks have nothing on Palm/WebOS followers. Disappointment was just part of the norm! I for one am super excited for the new iPhone. A great product announcement with availability 2 weeks later... I've never known what that's like!!
I'll miss WebOS and all it could have been (and I'll miss those cool touchstones too), but iOS is a great platform and I'm really looking forward to getting on board.
