I've also seen reports of a US GSM Hero, but nothing about data frequency. So, I don't know which carrier will get it. But, if it's T-Mo, there goes another great phone I'll pass up. I won't do T-Mo US & I'm still very iffy about Sprint.

I am not even iffy on either Tmo or Sprint. Right now I dont like the coverage for Sprint and T Mo is just getting started in the area and after their major outage this past week for a day or so I am not impressed. I am sticking with the big blue death star. So if not not AT its not happening for me unless its unlocked 3G gsm.

I'll be interested to know how many times in the next month (with the higher bill) that you start to question your "genius-ness" of buying a Pre and giving away your Centro? Although I now "like" (not love) my Pre, I do miss the Palm OS Treo and Centro sometimes.

I'm still learning a lot.
The first thing I would really like to know is how do I display only my unread emails and select and delete them all with one click? Is this possible. Currently I have to open each email and click on the delete icon. Given how much junk I get each day I'm force to manage my email from my computer rather than my Pre.

Anyone have an idea? I also need to learn how to copy and paste. I know it's possible but I haven't finished going through the help yet.
The search feature is so cool in that it will search multiple sources at the same time. I didn't realize how handy this would be.

Still out of luck even after webOS 1.3.1 update. Delete one at a time. I've decided to set the Preferences at "show email 7 days" so as not to clutter up my Pre's box. Unfortunately I haven't figure out how to delete all the mail held in the Trash?

I also need to learn how to copy and paste. I know it's possible but I haven't finished going through the help yet.

Move the curser by a combination of touching the spot and holding down the orange [opt] key and swiping text area to correct location .... then hold down the shift key and swipe again to highlight the text you want to copy or cut. After it is has been highlighted, hold down a finger on the gesture area and type the "x" key for cut or the "c" key for copy. To past navigate to the correct location and hold finger on the gesture area and type the "v" key to paste.

A new feature for webOS 1.3.1 is to copy SMS messages ... also a forward feature. Nice to be able to copy the text now ... although I don't use the forward feature all that much.

From what I've read this will make a LOT of people happy - till they think of the next big gripe. Anyway, I'm really posting to point out your typo above. I know you meant 1.3.1, but you might want to change that when you read this to avoid confusion.

Thanks for the correction guys ... although perhaps I'm testing the next release ... dubious as that might seem! :-)
