I would say go with the Pre for a couple of reasons. First, you already have a Palm device, and even though the Pre is Palm's revolutionary phone, I still feel that you would be more comfortable with the Pre... which brings me to my second point, the Android OS running on the Droid sounds a bit to confusing and messy for you. The Palm's interface is clean and the multi-tasking feature is top notch. Also, the Droid is pretty thick and has a keyboard that doesn't suit you...another drawback is the 4 touch sensitive buttons on the bottom of the Droid - they're finicky and laggy. Plus, the Pre's size not only fits your hand and pocket better, but the keyboard does so as well. As far as apps go, yes the Droid's Android interface has more apps, but both of them have free apps like Facebook, etc... and I get the feeling you won't be using that many apps. As far as monthly subscriptions go, they are both going to have an internet fee each month mandatory, but they will likely be the same price per month. Probably around $30 for unlimited internet data usage (that is what it is on my iPhone). Hope that helps and either phone is a good choice.
