Hooray for Palm! As a 12-year Palm user, I've been defending them ceaselessly while waiting for them to get back to the innovation they were once known for.  They have absolutely done it with the Pre.  It has so many cool features it's hard to know where to begin.  Most important is multitasking - you can have email open and answer a call and look up a phone number and send a twitter message all at the same time.  No other smartphone will do that, not even the new iPhone 3GS.  The synergy feature that combines multiple calendars, address books and email accounts is also great - I have my work calendar, my personal Google calendar, and my family Google calendar all in one place, finally.  My only disappointment is the phone application.  Sprint is great (for me, anyway, I've had it for 10 years and really like the service), but the actual phone application on the Pre is not nearly as user-friendly or advanced as it was on my old Treo 755p. I'm hoping they improve it with later software upgrades, but it's not bad enough to make me switch away from the Pre.
