Watched a video of the ui and it looks very slick. I actually own an iphone and apart from a few cool apps and games i have on it, webOS looks as if it can beat the iphone os. The gestures are great and the multi tasking, it is a good blend of fun a work. Great job palm, if I didn't own an iphone that i reluctantly bought cos a friend gave me it cheap I would be considering it. Webos is by far the best ui ive seen to rival the iphone and i must say i think its looks better so far.

    Iphone OS, WinMo 6.1 and Palm OS NO MATCH to the touch screen-less Symbian S60 Feature Pack 3.2... Test it yourselves and feel and see the difference!!!

      Anonymous, 11 Jan 2009As nice as this phone is, its no iPhone. No iTunes, No App ... moreThere is an App Store and iTunes? Pfft. They're DRM free now, so any phone can use the music purchased there.

                Why do u apple jockies put down any new phone that's released. If anything we should be celebrating new technology because it will only fuel competition which in the end is better 4 us the consumer. I own a g1 and I love it but I also love 2 see innovation so my next android phone is even better. Good job Palm this phone looks sick......too bad its on sprint

                    too bad Google messed up the Android, pretty much the only screw up from Google, the iphone wasn't enough competition already now theres Palms WebOS

                    you gotta admit it this is pretty slick and the youtube videos showing the gestures only get slicker WinMo, Blackberry and Android gotta watch it and Symbian Touch needs to get top notch too but its still got popularity going for it.

                    The Gmail, Hotmail etc integration is pretty amazing, having all the details in one organized place now WOW thats one hell of a useful feature, something the iphone doesn't have

                    WOW palm you really did on hell of a job can't wait for better looking phones and the gaming part.

                            You know why they always compare to Iphone whenever a new thing comes out, They always thinks that this is the one that can kill the iPhone. Because they cannot dare their eyes to see how nice and precious beauty of the iPhone, they always compare to who is Great like iPhone, they know it. That is why they always use iPhone to compare all new phones. Every since the release of iPhone is still unbeatable great phone. None I have seen.

                            I love iPhone, tnx God for this iPhone 3G. Long Live iPhone.

                              I'm wondering, how many people on this forum actually have an iPhone? Or have actually used one? Not many I bet. Please stop comparing every phone that gets released to the iPhone. If you do it just shows that deep down you really believe that the iPhone is the standard that all others should be measured against. If that wasn't the case you'd compare it to The Storm, G1, HTC Touch etc...

                                  As much as i hate iphone because of ignorance apple fanboys, i think iPhone is getting serious competitor for flashy phone. They just need to market it right and sell it at the right price.

                                      Watch the video on it's UI. It's amazing. Functional and a real rival to the iPhone. Finally some real competition.

                                      I'm really looking forward to this phone.
