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.
If you want stability, I would really, really avoid WinMo. I have several WinMo phones, and every time its the only phone I have on my person I want to throw it through something. If I have an open data connection it'll register that a phone call is coming in, but won't allow me to answer or ignore it. It just freezes.

The Hero is a pretty solid device, based on the reviews of the MyTouch 3G (VERY, VERY similar devices)
