I have this phone since September last year and I haven't had a SINGLE problem or issue with it! The software updates from Palm are regular, bug free and always pleasantly surprising. Btw, the IPhone is way worse than the Pre or Pixi! They just have more resources (read: money) and that's how they can brainwash any airhead out there.

                  Had this for 10 days....fab phone till Palm sent thru software update which has killed it. A person who shall remain nameless at O2 recommended I swap for an iphone as Palm software is so unstable. My handset has just frozen so I have to take it back today. I'm lucky as I'm within the 14 days but if you're outside that it has to sent for repair.

I'm on my 3rd phone and the 2nd one had a repair, so it might as well be 4th. O2 are exchanging it for an iPhone next week. I'm not the only one with such an experience and the option was either a BlackBerry or an iPhone. They did try and get me to accept a BlackBerry first though.

                        tried to install webOS 1.4.1 and installation froze. took half an hour of just the booting page, and whenever it is turned on it hangs... shame because otherwise its an awesome phone!

                        wonder if o2 will give me a free replacement no questions...

                          The Palm Pre was the only phone I could find that would sync with Outlook Desktop (not Exchange). Granted, I had to buy a commercial product to do so, but it was well worth it.

                          I love my Pre, and although I have a little Android-envy when it comes to applications, the number of applications are rapidly increasing.

                          Also, if you are an older generation Palm user, many of the Classic applications will work on the Pre using a Classic emulator.

                            Charlie, 20 Mar 2010I have got this phone at the moment and I have had a month ... moreTHE BATTERY OF THE PHONE IS SUPPOSED TO WORK LIKE THAT. The more you charge your battery frequently the longer its standbye time will be. (odd battery behavior).

                            Some tips to make your battery life longer is to turn off all unnecessary applications like WiFi, extend the time setting for email retreival, decrease the gamma ray on display settings and close unused applications in card view.

                              I have got this phone at the moment and I have had a month or so to play with it and I really like it. I am finding it really easy to use and the screen is very clear and I like watching films on it and I was watching a film on it the other day and I managed to watch the whole film just before the phone died on battery. Then when I charged it again the phone all of a sudden started to keep battery life for much longer then it used to I don’t know why but now I can keep the charge up for at least 2 days instead of 1 like I used to.

                                Anonymous, 18 Mar 2010Hey GSMArena, where is the Pre Plus? It's been sometime and... morebasically the same specs except of the absence of center button. Its replaced with center indicator similar to palm pixi.

                                pre plus also has a higher memory like doubling the normal memory size of the normal pre.

                                pre plus under verizon also contain more software upgrades and application.

                                  Hey GSMArena, where is the Pre Plus? It's been sometime and I don't see any specs on this phone. I know it's basically updated Pre, but why isn't there any info about that? Apart from this, keep up the good work.

                                        Arun , 28 Feb 2010Can i use the mobile directly in India by shipping from USA... moreyes you can do that as long as you have a physical address in usa for future service matters.

                                        make sure you configure your phone according to your position to make sure you will have the correct gps service
