    Jhon, 10 Mar 2009You say Palm pre is great soft.Ok it is.But every new soft.... moreYou're right about everyone has their own preferences...Everyone wants a perfect product that suits themselves and make them 100% satisfied...that is true...but I don't think that's going to happen...take any product, there'll be at least 1 disadvantage....

    ...Most preinstalled applications on smartphones are the same, calendar, clock, alarm, etc...from the old mobile phone to any smartphones, they all have those apps, aren't they...Applications being illusions...I will have to disagree on that...(Will agree if you say you can't directly look at it or touch it or feel it)...Both hardwares and softwares are working together, say you have a phone with a pair of good stereo speaker, without the music file (which you call it illusion), it just won't work...ah you need a software to play it too...
    + I don't see a good point of phones with stereo speakers since they're being close to each other..but that's just my personal preference...audiophiles need it, not me XD

    Hardware-wise...I don't think any company will make a phone with 1.5GHz processors, 100GB of memory and such, it's going to be very expensive, and faster processors is the long battery life's worst enemy...Well, complicated...just...enjoy whatever smartphones we can afford....hahaha....

        Anonymous, 07 Mar 2009true it doesnt hv those features but does an iphone killer ... moreyes, that is what exactly I was trying to say, there's no perfect phone, you can't expect it to do everything perfectly (in respond of someone's post who mentioned it should be able to project a video, Jhon @ 2009-03-06 03:18)...I myself do not expect it to be able to do so. I would get a phone that does its job, and a camera for myself.
        hm...speaking about algorithm, it's true that you can always make it run faster, but that wasn't what I meant. I was saying phones are getting upgrades so often with new features and stuff and some of them which appears to be a fix, the phone model doesn't change that much etc...I hope that helped, sorry for the misunderstanding.


        Well, WebOS is a real genius, I'm looking forward to get this phone, or android phones, let's see which one I like more....
        Anyone knows if this phone will have international support? Previous Palm OS doesn't have international support unless we install third party softwares. Both my Treo600 and 680 weren't able to display SMS sent in non-English character....I hope WebOS could do this...heh...physical keyboard ftw~

              Just read an interesting article from phonesreview.co.uk It states that the phone will be released on the 15th March and hit shops soon after. This is for the U.S. market; however still no release date for Europe :(

Well, th... moreWhy does GSMarena.com report that the Palm Pre will have 3G HSDPA on the North American 850/1900mhz bands? Most other websites are reporting that the initial European Palm Pre GSM release will not be compatible with North American 3G networks due to Sprint's exclusive deal with Palm.

                  iphone, G1 and Pre... what do they have in common? Well, there's the hype each one has created; that is goog! The bad? The three of them lack soooo many things... Why can´t they just pack them with decent specs to make the hype worthwhile? The pre confirms my point...No radio, no video capabilities, no secondary camera, no card slot, etc? WTF??

                            So Palm pre for me is the next soft illusion as others soft before.They will make own apps and so on...
                            Then maybe Android will make the same.And then someone else.i don't want more "clever" soft 'cose it is clever for people that make it,but not for me.Everyone has own understanding.But everyone want's stereo speakers,very long battery life,100gb memory or more,max great camera with xenon flash,fast cpu.Whit such a great hardware i can use every kind of soft ideas.
                            So Palm pre for me is a bad or like most of others bad hardware device and it is only different way to make ordinary things, like Palm pre organizer for ex.
                            It's shame for them. 2009 want more freedom more quality and everything to work with everything everywhere.
                            Thing of this all cd players to use different size cd - madness.This is gsm evolution today - madness.
                            I will be happy with great hardware and software freedom.Palm pre is a weak hardware and no software freedom,and what kind of sex can someone make with this "sexy" phone?

                                名無 , 06 Mar 2009According to Palm, Palm Pre will support video with their t... moreOkay, it may not be a 12.1 MP phone with a wide display angle, xenon, stereo speakers, swappable card, HD recording like the Omnia HD or even recording at full HD like no other phone can at this time, it does not project videos like the Samsung i7410 phone as well, it does not feature a 1Ghz Snapdragon processor or 1.5 Ghz dual-core Snapdrogon as well and no Hi-Fi audio...BUT THAT ALL DOES NOT MATTER, if you want a camera then buy one, not a phone that can't even compare with a true camera, if you want a video recorder buy one, it can even record at 120 fps in HD, you want a music player, get an Apple..this is is a SMART PHONE...that means you should be able to easily browse the web, make phone calls,and install programs to do my work with no bugs, crashes or something like that...jeez...it isn't the hardware that matters, you could have the best specs in the world but it depends on how you can take advantage of them, in our computers today the limitation is the damn software, if there is somebody intelligent enough to make a good piece of software that is very ergonomic, easy to use then even and fast then productivity can increase, a computer or a smart phone can run up to 1000% faster and is more responsive if the programmer did his/her homework, no kidding...I have to admit that it is hard to do such a thing being a programmer myself, but this phone has a fine piece of software and has great potential, it is a major step forward and for those at Palm you have my deepest appreciation for the Palm WebOS, it's truly genius....

                                  No video.

                                  This is not worth a purchase.

                                    Jhon, 06 Mar 2009Are you blind?!!What iPhone killer?!!No video rec.No video ... moretrue it doesnt hv those features but does an iphone killer truly need those features? i mean the iphone has made user-replaceable batteries a feature. the bluetooth on iphone is a joke. MMS is absent on iphone. iphone has an even worse camera (2mp with no flash). also the keyboard on iphone is too small. iphones lack of features that were on phones before it was anounced is shocking yet everyone now compares the new phones to the iphone. webOS looks like a v gud OS. this is the only phone that can charge wirelessly altho its not v important, its small things like that that will make a dif for some ppl. flash support for its browser is there and this is not on iphone nor winmo. this has a gesture pad which is unique. ur rite that while it doesnt hv gr8 features it has some unique features and has far more features than iphone so yes it is an iphone killer in that aspect. but the ppl who buy iphone r not looking for the features.

                                        According to Palm, Palm Pre will support video with their third party softwares, not much information are given...and Mojo will be easy to use...Palm webOS comes with applications, I've never actually seen a phone that came without applications.
                                        There's no perfect phone in this world, there'll be advantages and disadvantages and companies will "fix" it on their next newer model, with new disadvantages...

                                        about the issue that some people are not happy about Palm Pre for "no video projector"...I've never seen a phone that's capable of projecting videos/images like a video projector...
