“Pre’s Hardware is the Xbox 360 of Smartphones (in a Bad Way)” →
ArsTechnica’s Jon Stokes on the unfortunate demise of Palm:
I’ve only met one Pre owner in-person who hasn’t sent at least one phone back, but I’ve met many people who have sent multiple Pres back. When you pull out your Pre somewhere and another Pre user spots it, the odds are close to certain (in my experience) that that person has sent at least one unit back because of some kind of issue. Every single reviewer that I know of sent at least one Pre back in the beginning.
Sadly, this is only one of several reasons for the demise that Jon mentions. I’ve been rooting for Pre to become a formidable iPhone competitor since the announcement in January 2009, and it’s clear those days are over.

For what it’s worth, I’ve had to take back only one XBOX 360.
