Gus, 14 Dec 2009Very expensive phone and it offers nothing.Small screen,bad... moreno the phone joke of the year is (and always has been) the iphone.
where i am its $999 unlocked and look at how much its gna cost in china.
that phone has no multitasking (even with jailbreak it cant match pre), no synergy, no flash for its camera, no flash for web content (it might hv a large app catalog but most of the good stuff is paid whereas there is a lot more free content on the web), pathetic dpi/ppi (pre has better dpi/ppi than iphone so its screen portrays images more crisp and vibrant, but there r much better displays than both of them to give u an idea nokia 7710 had more resolution on its 3.5" screen back in 2004 than iphone does now), little innovation (thats right not even 1/2 the stuff on iphone is original*), no user replaceable battery, terrible recpetion in US (due to being locked with at&t), no physical qwerty, and false advertising.
*this is a list of specs that iphone has but were on other company's phone before it:
- slide to unlock: neonode
- flick finger to scroll thru menu(s): neonode
- ambient light sensor for display brightness: palm
- way iphone msgs: palm
- connectivity: nokia
- capacitive touchscreen: lg
- accelerometer: htc (but used 4 scrolling not auto rotate)
- touch focus (for taking pictures): htc
- large internal storage compensating for lack of expandable memory: sony ericsson

Almost two weeks with my pre and keeps turning off almost everytime I close the slider. Gonna take it back today and get a new one.
This is annoying, I mean, I'm very pleased with this phone, but I can´t understand why Palm delivered these defective units...
Greetings from Mexico!

But the lack of radio mak... moreDon't worry about the radio, there are few excellent apps for radio channels, as well as podcasts (Pandora, Radio Time, Shotcast etc.) That's the least of the Pre problems, trust me. Just go with iPhone, 10 times better and you'll find more apps. Definitely!

Looks like a perfect phone to me. But the lack of radio makes me go far from it. About the OS I have my doubts if it will have an apropiate support from Palm and others developers.

Anonymous, 29 Nov 2009How can I use msn messenger on my palm pre?you can apply an unofficial patch to get MSN on your pre (www.precentral.com for more info). You can also wait for an official app to come out in the app catalog.

the phone is great but if u can put designs on it well maybe u can but im talkin about designs u would like. i especialy like it because you dont have to pay for internet u can just go wifi i mean not a lot of fones do that. personaly i think its like the I Touch just a bit better.
people are right it does have a lot of bug but i KNOW HOW TO GET RID OF THEM just email me at fosterandrew54@yahoo.com. the only reason y im not tellin is because if i doto may people are going to say they came up with the idea because i found a 3 special apps that if u use em at the same time it reboots ur system and destoys all the bugs.
and no you dont put the formula of pie in the calculator. just remember this god damn idea is mine so just email and i will tell u how to fix it personally and when i say that i mean i will be online with u and dont start trippin when u find out that im 12 because if u email me about how did i figure this out based on the fact of how old i am.
im just going to tell u some bull crap on how to fix the palm pre

I hd been tried 2 of those and both with problems such slowy software, bad calling and reception calls, if you intend to use it as a pocketpc forget because it is very far away to be. I realy sorry Palm but you guys must need to think about to upgrade many things as I said nice look but bad in functions.

One thing I did notice though and I doubt I could get used to it was the severe lag in the media player as use my HERO for playing podcasts, the ability to link up all ur social networking is no longer new as the HERO did that ages ago but the automatic backup of ur contacts onto the GMAIL server if u use it is brilliant...
I just wish the HERO browser was remotely good as Safari for example, please HTC, sort this out in ur next firmware update, Eclair, Donut, Popcorn, Cookie or whatever the hell u wanna call it :D

I work for CPW and we had an o2 rep come in and give us a quick demo of the device, overall I personally felt it was very good software wise ( being an HTC Hero user ) though the keyboard was a lil bit too fiddly for me and I dont have builder's hands. Some of the touch screen gestures were quite pleasant and useful, and the apps had some quirky little gimmicks such as compressing the calenders when u have appointments or when ur in mid-call and the entire phone doesnt switch to the phone function automatically but subtly indicates which is great in the bottom corner.
OK the handset isn't a powerhouse like the HD2 or N900s but it isnt designed to be, its a simple handset with some unique features that many phone companies neglect to think people really use... Im personally torn between an HD2 ( though this pink screen fault has put me off ) and the N900 ( who the heck is gonna sell it on contract ) but the Pre would be a great phone for someone who wants Iphone ease of use but with a keyboard...

Has anyone had trouble with their palm pre screen going black during a call and only being able to end the call by removing the battery. This is the second phone I have had and 02 say it is not a common fault, but it seems to be too much of a coincidence.
please let me know so I can choose another phone

Well, I gotta say Pre is a very very good-looking phone. Its OS is very finger-friendly! This one is my ultimate no.1 when it comes to a touchscreen phone with a (non-side) sliding QWERTY keyboard.
