Yes it runs WinMo which sucks for us PalmOS users, but we can use StyleTap (www.styletap.com) to get from here to there, and I want to use existing WinMo apps too. The Pre is an ok idea, but I want tons of existing apps and a hardware keyboard. I am also waiting for the Treo Pro from Sprint.

ATT did right by the Bold, don't here many complaints about that since it came out. If Palm is your choice then wait, spice is the variety of life or something like that, so you may want to venture out. I did, as far as manufacturers go, disappointed with the 1st and 2nd pleasently suprised me. I be eyeballing Palm too but for another device I would prefer this phone come out too but you don’t want it to come out buggy and slow like the Instinct.

Cracking isn't even a problem with current GSM Pro. Apple has had production runs of cracking iPhone cases. They fixed it too. In any given week a group of make and model car could have a problem. Phones are assembled from parts made everywhere. The case part could have been made badly in 500 cases with the compounds or resins mixed at improper ratio or conditions. It happens. What counts is the response. Palm's response: some understandable resistance at first as case cracks can come from user abuse, and then when they saw a pattern, replacement of affected units under warranty. In short a perfect logical and good response to a perfectly common occurrence among product. I wonder what you eat, drive and what electronics you use? Since ever brand you own has had some problem like this. Which brand do you think has not had a problem like this? You have no answer. backbeat: I pointed to the fact on the cases.
