Too ahead of it's time? I'm pretty sure it's just that they were too late to market.
(1) they launched on Sprint. Sprint is a distant 3rd now.
(2) they didn't reach Verizon in time.
They had this lovely window of time before Verizon launched the first Droid phone. Verizon users were hungry for a smartphone. Droid got their first and filled the niche.
It's easy to armchair quarterback but, after trying the Pre on Sprint, I kept wishing for them to get a faster Pre on Verizon before Android arrived.

Too little, too late.
