The Pre is a solid device, as is the Tour, but it really depends how you're going to use the phone. If you want a more entertainment-centric experience, go with the Pre. If you want a more businessy device, go with the Tour.
Lastly, the person with the Treo 800w, the problems with that device are more than likely problems with Windows Mobile, not the device itself. Palm's WebOS is MUCH more stable than WinMo.
Lastly, Verizon will likely get the Pre around Christmas, and Sprint will probably be getting the Pixi, which is a lower-end version of the Pre around the same time.

Ideally I want the Touch Pro2. Part of that is because it's a wimo device, you can do just about anything you can to a computer to that thing. The only reason I don't have one now is that I can't justify spending that much on a phone, no matter how cool it is. I would wait but my instinct has been acting up more and more recently so I don't think it'll last more than a month maybe two (random shutdowns, crashes etc.).
I'm considering getting the Tour now as just a year long placeholder to wait for the touchpro3 (rumored to be out next fall) which'll run wimo7 which is supposed to be based on windows7 which is amazing.
My two biggest gripes about the Pre are it feel very flimsy, and no expandable memory. The OS is quite possibly the best of any phone I've ever used. If there was any news of palm coming out with a pre2 that addressed those issues I'd wait up to 3/4 months and just send in my Instinct to get fixed.

Main reason why I didn't buy one before my upgrade was due was because of the build quality. Idk about the Hero, maybe if our Sprint store manages to get working demo's of phones I'll check it out. And I'm stuck with sprint so the cliq is a no go.
