Angelina Jolie’s Thoughts on the Palm Pre

Palm (NSDQ: PALM) and Sprint (NYSE: S) have been cleverly seeding the upcoming Pre among upper-crust celebrities, such as Howard Stern, among others. Angelina Jolie has been enjoying hers, but has a few complaints as well, according to an assistant on the set of Salt.
“I asked her how she likes the phone,” a production assistant on the set of Salt told me. “She went on about it for about two minutes. She basically said she likes the software better than the iPhone, she likes the thumboard for texting (although the keys aren’t big enough), and thinks the screen is beautiful but can be too easily scratched.”
The keyboard seems to be a common concern, along with the lack of removable memory, but unlike Stern, Jolie sounds pretty danged happy with the Pre.

Keyboard common concern? Having followed news of Pre since CES, this is a very minor concern. Angelina, trim those beautiful nails!
I agree, MicroSD support (or lack thereof) is a detriment. I am also a bit concerned about the screen being easily scratchable (though I buy Invisible Shield for all of my devices). iPhone started with plastic screen before moving to glass, perhaps Palm will do the same (though this close to rumored launch I doubt for this version screen material will change).
