Yesterday, I stopped by my local Verizon store and got to play with each of them.
And?
Well, playing with a phone in-store is totally differant than taking it home with you. You just simply can't try it out properly. It's tied down to the display, you're mot making calls and sending texts.
You don't dare log-in to any of your accounts.
So you play with what's there.
First, both phones were dirty. Covered with fingerprints and what not.
They were also rather sluggish. Probably hadn't been restarted recently.
So I told both the Pre and Pixi to update all of their apps, and then gave them a good restart.
Turns out the Pixi was wirelessly providing the store's music via Pandora. The store went silent--oops.
I didn't actually talk to any employees, so I can't say anything about their knowledge.
But the thing I was most curious about was the lack of a center button.
I found myself acting as if it was there. I knew where it should be, and my swipes took that into account.
And tapping on that line of light worked just as it should.
The thing I found odd was the keyboard.
I've had my Sprint Pre since Day 1. I'm well aware of how to use the keyboard, but the Pre Plus semed to trip me up a bit. Not sure what was going on there.
Bottom line? I'll stick with Sprint. While I'm sure the Plus memory would be nice at times, it's not worth the hassel of switching providers.
