[LinuxUsers] Palm Pre or other?

[Joel Witherspoon]

Sorry for slow response. The battery lasts about 6 hours with BlueTooth,
EVDO, wireless, and GPS on. The recharge from USB is slow. The keyboard
works fine for me but I have piano fingers.

The thing that bugs me is the lack of tethering. I need to find out why, but
I think its the wait for A2.0 rather than the data plan.

 I set it up with Google voice which is pretty cool. I can listen to voice
mails online through my Gmail.

So far so good.
