When it comes to the dimensions, the human mind is terrible at comparing raw numbers. Just because you believe the photo is not misleading, that doesn't magically make it so. As I said, the casual reader would find it misleading. The technical reader may not. Please take this from my authority a I deceive people for a living. If I do not want people compare things, I keep the data raw. When I want them to compare items, in my favor, I use visualizations. It's called putting things into perspective. @Tim Hanlon –

This was meant to be a quick post comparing the hardware of two phones. I will wait until I have both phones in my hand to compare the OS/software. @bubblebuster – Anyone who read the article would’ve seen the difference in screen size and dimensions.

Also not mentioned in this article is the app catalog, or the iTunes syncing, synergy/gmail/yahoo/AIM integration, or Sprint TV, or wireless charging, or over the air syncing and or the native voice assisted turn-by-turn navigation……… @Tim Hanlon – The casual reader would not make that inference and thus it is misleading.

The Pre is much much smaller for better or worse it is the truth and the image on this site lies to the it's readers!

Any site that leaves out information shows that it is run by humans who make mistakes. Also not mentioned in this article is the app store, or the iPhone's iTunes/iCal/Mail/AddressBook integration, or the built-in iPod, or the compass, or voice activation and navigation......... ‘bubblebuster’ is daft.

Having just placed the two side by side, the pre is notably shorter (as shown by the dimensions) -- both a plus and a minus. Also, the pre at the very least has geotagging of its photos.
