take a bit of that apple, my take on iPhone vs Pre

I do not own an iPhone so this is just my option :-) But from handling it in store and friends who have it (claiming it's greatest thing) I can tell you it's an awesome eye candy. iPhone shows well (a term realtor or car sales person uses often), but when you try to use it as a PDA that is when it fell short. btw, Apple never claim iPhone as a PDA like device, but lot of office worker treat it like one. iPhone is great as music player (no #@!^) it's okay as a phone.

Finally something that can go up against! Since I am no banker, let's compare the cost.

Palm Pre (Sprint)

• $200: cost of phone with $100 rebate
• $70 per month: 450 voice minutes with unlimited messaging and data
• $90 per month: 900 voice minutes, unlimited messaging and data
• $100 per month: Unlimited voice minutes, messaging and data

iPhone (AT&T)

• $200: cost of phone
• $90 per month: 450 voice minutes, unlimited messaging and data
• $110 per month: 900 voice minute, unlimited messaging and data
• $150 per month: Unlimited voice minutes, messaging and data

I know there are lots of review out there but after June 05 we'll know how it handle in real world.
