BlackBerry Forums Support Community - View Single Post - Long time BB user heavily considering the Pre

While the Pre looks nice and WebOS has some potential the Pre has it's drawbacks ..

1. the keyboard is just too cramped, the Treo was the same way.

2. At the moment the device has no Exchange ActiveSync support if you enforce any security (password, timeout etc). So this is an epic failure on Palm to not even validate this. Apparently there are plenty of people having issues with SSL certs too so not a big issue if your not looking to get your corporate email but for those that do - this device is not an option at the moment.

Palm stated they will address this in 60-90 days which seems like a long wait.
