  • These new phones are fucking gay, I still got my old rzr, and I am finally going to upgrade. I am not super excited like some fags, I just don't care. A phones, a phone, I mean fuck it. You call people on it and occasionally text, I am not one of those on the phone 24/7 guys. I move around, workout, socialize, tv, video games, computer, That is just too much shit to do to be texting 24/7 and getting in trouble for it in class. I think a BB curve on my sprint network is aight. :)

  • iphone bads:

    - bad call quality.

    - no multitasking

    - tooooooo many policy restrictions by ATT and Apple

    - no tactile keyboard

    - app store is strictly controlled by Apple.

  • well then obviously the iphone isnt a better phone it just has better apps he said it himself once the pre has matured sorry apple

  • Nice video, well done. let's see it now

  • old school intro

  • yo soldier knows best.. go to my site, let me kno if u need any graphics or pics done.. ill do it for free

    visualreal. com

  • ok so the people that are makign the palm pre not all of them r from apple jon rubinstien is thats it he left apple before the first iphone came out so stop using that as an excuse to say well they have people from apple well he left before the iphone and if they were building the iphone when he left he didnt work on it he worked on ipods and macs

  • iPhone developers left apple and went to palm to help develop the Palm Pre. We all know that Rubenstien didn't make iPhone or the Pre. So don't be dumb.

  • how could you possibly do a review on a phone ... and not even have tha phone er show it in tha review !?

    this is a joke.

  • where does it say its a review?.. just his input on the palm pre

    you are a joke.

  • tf?? calm down.

    excuse me if yuhr his fuqen mother.

    get off his dick.

  • I don't see where i was angry, i just used the same format you used lol.

    Don't see how im acting like his mum pointing out YOUR mistake. And how am i on his dick by pointing out you are wrong lol

  • bcuz you wud have no reason to care unless yuh waz on his dick ... and i neva said yuh waz angry.

    get it rite !

  • palm pre hmm....even sounds cheap

  • Instinct is garbage! Pre is tight but its no Iphizzy Phone. Just thought all you playas and haters out there would like to know.

  • You're right, in alot of ways it's better! The iPhone is a great phone but the Pre definitely competes.

    Apps and such will come in time just like they did with the iPhone. I mean we're talking a phone that just released 4 days ago.

  • the pre is tight,it can bang with the i phone.

    more so than the phones, I like sprints plans you get  more bang 4 ya buck. the apps will come it is a palm.

  • I dont know if the pre is a iphone killer and i can tell you are bias because it seems like you own an iphone. You probably dont know that palm is like the Mercedes of phones. They have a loyal fan base which is huge. You talk about the app. store come on Palm has apps that carryover every year to their latest model phones. they have a lot of apps and they know what to do when it comes to that department. Bottom line is im not gonna even touch an iphone until they get a keyboard..

  • apps are irrelavant, wherever there is a good phone there will be applications.

    luckily for apple hackers created the app store for them and they took advantage of that.

    the pre will have apps and it will be far better than the current iphone, the problem is that apple is probably releasing a new iphone soon.

  • there's a lot going on in the Android Segment... Have a look and stay updated..its the fastest growing market with a 900% increase and that speaks for itself.....

  • I like that Palm is back and with something fresh but I just don't want to switch to sprint. Supposedly though the exclusive contract is only 1 year unlike the 5year ATT iPhone thing.

  • how much do u think this phone will cost?

  • Around 200 dollars in new contract

    Around 600 dollars with contract

  • imma gonna get it

  • I'm gonna get for my wife this week and I'm holding out for the Touch pro2

  • iphone is okay to me, I expected more.. no MMS? no video?

    you have to buy these apps... everything these days is just money, money, money!

  • wait until monday

  • Thanks Soldier. I agree that the app store is the iphone's best friend. As for Palm's ability to compete with that will really come down to how well the public embraces the phone. If the people like the phone, third party developers will have no problem making apps for the Pre.

    That's another great thing about the Pre is that almost anyone can develop an app for it. It's that open source direction that many people will love.

  • Dude Omg The Pre Is Not Trying To be A Iphone Killer.Cant Someone Just Make A video Without Talking about The Iphone.

  • Can't Someone Just Stop Capitalizing Every Single Word In All of Your Sentences?!

  • 199.99 jun 6

  • a copycat ugly phone cant stop the iphone. what can and does stop the iphone is only having one carrier.

  • why does everyone have to start talking about the iphone? And it's not ugly. If you want to complain about something,keep it to yourself YUPnNOPE stop wasting everyones time by watching videos to tell everyone how much you hate it.

    And I would prefer this over an iphone.I'm not paying 600 for NO phone!

  • i can post watever the fuck i want. get over it and dont read my posts if you find it that annoying. and which phone costs 600? not the iphone. and its an obvious comparison to the pre, since its the first phone to boldly rip off apple's mobile phone patent of using multitouch. so yea, fuck you.

  • And how many patents do you think Apple ripped off? Palm was doing touchscreen phones long before Apple. This is going to be a hit whether you agree or not. There is more to life than just Apple my friend. Come June 6th you're going to see just how much.

  • pre drops june 6th 09

  • Palm Pre has a real keyboard we all been looking for. Dont worry about apps, first of all theres the classic emulator which will let you run thousands of palm os apps. Second sprint service is good, they were bad b4 but not any more. 3rd sprint has unlimited everything plan for $99.00, AT&T, Verizon and Tmobile is way more than that, just check.

  • thanks for the video mate, appreciate it

  • When do you unbox some weapon? :P

  • Just recently found yer channel and I am impressed - You have really detailed tech reviews!

  • $999.99 is just the dummy pre-release price in the Sprint sales system. Full price is almost certainly in the $499.99- $599.99 full retail price with no contract , probably on the lower end of that scale.

  • Palm pre does have an app. store. iPhone blows. Its a kids toy.

  • so you dont like the pre or the iphone... what do you like??

  • is it worth making a review if it hasn't come out yet...which is on june 7

  • i think he's just speculating

  • my birthday woo! lool

  • lool !oow yabhtrid ym

  • other carriers and companies need to come out with an app store, or at least something like it.

  • I really like the preview and I never knew they had guys from Apple. Informative video and well presented, i'll be watching from now on.

  • yea but he sure has alot of time to get all this new stuff

  • oh i see

  • does this guy have a job?

  • He is a soldier. Hence the name...

  • Yeah, he works for the Electronic Cartel

  • dang i looked it up its a nice phone!!

    great videos!

  • for those that know Palm is the originator of allowing apps to your smartphone. The classic emulator allows users hundreds of useful apps right out the gate. But it will be intersting to see what apps they can have to show the power of the new pre. My question is will they build enough anticipation with non-gadget geeks to sell enough units. i dont know too many other people who are looking forward to this as i am.

  • Your videos are so informative and entertaining! Why don't you have more subscribers than you do?

  • when I got my iPhone rogers had listed the price of the iPhone as $1700 for the 16gb unsubsidized thats canadian dollars but our dollar was pretty close to par at that time.

    Thats how Ridiculous Rogers' prices are, they got us all locked in for 3 years or pay an outrageous price like that.

  • thanks for putting your old intro back

  • in my opinion, G1 is pretty good and has a lot of potential.

  • The number 1 killer for the Palm Pre will be Sprint itself. The app store is a no brainer as well - nothing out there can compete with the iPhone apps - that's number 2. Number 3 being the fact that it will probably be CDMA instead of GSM. GSM was another factor that helped make the iPhone so popular - a large portion of world's population could purchase an iPhone unlocked, put their SIM card in and be good to go. That isn't so easy with CDMA.

  • The Palm Pre is not an iPhone killer, it's an iPhone rip-off.

  • To be honest Im bored of the Iphone now and I am starting to think its bit dated so wouldnt mind getting my hands on one of these.

    Keep up the awesome videos

  • To THEBEATYISFAKE your lack of intelligence is so evident by the statement you have just left on this channel, if this truly is your mindless view about African American's then why even watch the video in the first place, again your stupidity and ignorance shines through. SoldierKnowsBest is too refined and intelligent to even dignify your comment with a response. I seriously think you need to review your archaic ways. I thought this type of crap had gone away for the most part.

  • Great vid thanks MW.

  • The set up is looking good with the Mic and arm now, almost looks like a radio station. I recently got the iPhone 16GB (was shocked when only 14 of it was usable, hate when they round it down) i cant waiti on 3.0 which comes out round my b-day so it makes it twice as nice and will prob give another spike in iPhone purchases it will probably end up being a decision over what network you want to be tied to rather than the phone itself as they both will do similar jobs in the end.

  • raciest BASTARD!!!!!! im not black but some of my friends are so shut it!!!!

  • iphone had established the hype

  • Not an iPhone killer. It came into the market way too late. They also said that the Samsung Instinct was gonna be an iPhone killer, and look what happened: nothing. And the iPhone 3.0 software incorporates many of the features that people wanted for the iPhone and that are in the Palm Pre. People that already have an iPhone are not going to buy a Palm Pre and they have no reason to.

  • Has what will be the price with a upgrade. I have the Instinct and I have a $150 upgrade in July. And I wanted to know if this phone is worth the wait.

  • Holy cow dude wait!!!!!!! Dont get ANY other phone other than the palm pre! i personally am waiting myself and i am available for an upgrade. definately wait.

  • ur cute

  • it is definitely not an iphone killer. the iphone will never die. shine you nonbelievers shine! lol

  • man soldier you look official

  • the app store wont be the problem for the pre, it will be the simply everything plan that sprint is requiring you to sign up for. thats what killed the instinct before it even had a chance. even though it wouldn't have won. delegating plans and forcing 2 year contracts turns consumers off.

  • iphone will always be best

  • finally took off the uniform

  • Thanks for posting this, keep us updated.

  • thats interesting.. i never follow up on the palm.. thanks for the info :)

  • can realy say i find any thing special on this pre ,same try like all the phones that copies iPhone so , why shoud i give money on some monkeys (palm pre ) , insted iPhone (humans) ... like the say : Monkeys do what see on thumans . so no thx im happly with the original stuff not some copied ideeas made on the whater ships :)) so they need 2 come with some new idee on there own not just copied from some comp. ( this includs more phones comp. so not just abouth this new palm)

  • Just say Iphone is better

  • palm pre has a chance

    its do or die for palm

  • Palm Pre looks cool, major power for running multiple apps. The problem I see is the way the apps are made. iPhone apps are programmed in Objective-C, the Pre uses some kind of html thing. The apps can be native on the palm, but they will not be as intensive as a lot of iPhone apps from what I understand. Games won't even be close just because of this difference in programming language

  • You look like a retard with that bigass mic there....

  • I spy with my little eye, MacBook. Time Capsule. iLife?

  • g1 didnt make a scratch huh?  well after the new 1.5 firmware update should compete pretty damn well.

  • No it didn't. And are you forgetting about the 3.0 update for iPhone?

  • do u own a g1? no u dont.  and no i havnet forgotten about it. if i had at&t i would have an iphone, but i do not.

  • You should of called it the "iPhone Rival" lol. Im such a loser.

  • how many phones are the "iphone killer"? which one is the real "iphone killer"? lol

  • Is it just me, or is your audio slightly outta sync with the video. Good video though.

  • yeah your right, thats weird because normal quality is ok

  • just like the zune to the ipod, its gonna be VERY difficult for any new phone to catch up with the iphone

  • The Blackberry Curve is ahead of the Iphone/Iphone 3g.

  • only recently. iphone was always ahead until now

  • You were still wrong =D.

  • lol k you win :)

  • Yay lol

  • the mic sounds pretty

  • U sexy papi

    Get at me. . .

  • dumb. the pre will cost from $150-199. and $1000 unsubsidized? hell no thats definately not true, and really the app store is a joke. the iphone is a toy phone. for actual productivity the pre is heads above any competition

  • have you owned the iphone i dont think so its great for productivity and fun stop talking shit

  • u can see the box in the backround retard. he has many videos on the iphone.

  • i was replying to DyLaN1492x 'dumb. the pre will cost from $150-199. and $1000 unsubsidized? hell no thats definately not true, and really the app store is a joke. the iphone is a toy phone. for actual productivity the pre is heads above any competition' so dont go calling me a retard when im talking about a comment and not the video

  • GREAT VIDEO

  • looked at a video of it, looks like a piece of shit. It's slide and i hate that.

    watch?v=JRnlzbuLRwM

  • becuase its a slide its a piece of shit. great thinking.

  • Thank you.

  • i was being sarcastistic retard

  • Pfft, hahaha, so was I. You fucking retarded dumb fuck.

  • If I have a Mac, and am dedicated to iTunes and have a .Mac account, etc etc, why would I go from iPhone, a more integrated device to my current stuff, to the Pre? It seems great in general, but not enough to to sway me over.

  • Comment removed

  • sounds like a good device, the problem is that as mentioned it might not achieve the diversity and quality of the app store. Second it's on sprint which is probably one of the least popular major carriers out there. So it definitely won't kill the iphone

  • A grand?!?!?! Wow, thats way to much, no wonder why they are about to go out of business... I don't think that any one is gonna be able to beat the iPhone..

  • that's without a contract

  • Their are reports that Android is set to takeover the Iphone market by 2010-2011, also the G1/HTC Magic can already multi-task something the Iphone still can't do.

  • G1 All Day

  • New mic doesn't sound better than the apple's built-in

  • it does sound ALOT better

  • I'm still lovin your new mic lol

    Sweet video, I agree with your thoughts :)

  • whats up with the old intro?

  • Is it a 4g phone, cuz if not then whats the point of sprints 4g network. It would be the most pointless phone!!

  • finally the audio quality is better

  • what heppend to the HD?

  • speculations and unboxings... goodbye

  • IMO, the Blackberry Curve 8900 is the best phone right now, if it had 3G that would be great but other than that its amazing, the problem with iphone is you don't get the blackberry e-mail service.

  • whoever gets 4g first is going to get apple and hopefully a iphone 4g.

  • There already is a 4G phone. It's made by HTC

  • 1000 bucks for a phone is just ridiculous

  • intro sucks

  • Hmmm Storm - iPhone Storm - iPhone Still can't decide. As for the Palm I pass.

  • iphone

  • u know i am not worried. because you all seen for example,, PC's. lets say that the pc's are the palm pre, and the mac's the iphone 3g. now you know who will win. i mean the palm pre is a good device. but apple is unbeatable.

  • iphone has multitasking just jailbreak it and install backgrounder

  • Bravo,

  • Comment removed

  • The fact that the pre is on sprint means its not gonna kill anything. Sprint is a dying company so I'm not sure why Palm went with sprint but well see what happens.

  • It's good that the Palm Pre will give Apple a run for it's money.

    Apple now has the ball in their court to produce a better then iPhone 3G.

    I'm suprized no one other than Apple employees have seen the next gen iPhone. No leaks wow...not even from China!

    I think it's time to get a leaked picture of it!

  • it does look really nice :D

  • no phone will "kill" the iPhone

  • iphone does have background applications if you jail break it

  • yea but jailbreawking isnt good in the longrun. it depletes your warrenty and cause you iphone to freeze

  • well the iphone is nice but lacks simple things for a $600 phone.

    Most the T-mobile Mytouch will be nice.(htc Magic)

  • its 200

  • the iPhone owns the Palm Pre. To be honest I've always hated phones but when the iPhone came out I really wanted one. And looking at the Palm Pre it just looks like another copy that wont be to good to me.

  • is there really a need for such a mic? I dont see any improvement overall.

  • you dont wow check your ears

  • yeah, it's not really important for youtube videos. for podcasts maybe.

    and knowing SKB, he's really just a gadget addict so he finds reasons/excuses to buy stuff. lol. peace

  • Then check out videos he made a year a go and compare.

  • There will be for podcasting, which he claims he is going to start soon

  • Check the video he uploaded yesterday where he demos it and compares it to the camera's mic. No contest, this mic is much better.

  • More Blackberry's were sold last quarter than anything.

    And to say everyone wants it is a lie. I know people, especially hardcore texters hate it. Some people just feel uncomfortable with touch screens, too.

  • iphone is awesome ...

  • To kill the iphone u got to kill the app store, Also the pre is gonna be compared to apples next gen

  • no offense but your mic looks quite ugly in the video.. plus the stand of the mic is blocking your Mac "gallery" at the back.. you should try putting it somewhere that cannot be seen in the video but still capable of recording your voice clearly

  • Same best.

  • well let's see. The iphone has no MMS,no video Recording, and other simple things, that people have been pissed about since 2007. even prepaid phones have those features.

  • the iPhone will have MMS AND video recording in June lol (the new iPhone will have video recording)

    You can't compare the Palm Pre for the iPhone 3G because it hasn't released yet, and theres a year difference between there releases.

  • The Iphone is the best personal computing device like Halo is the best FPS. They're both very good, but they're probably not the best deep down because so many people are trying to beat it. Whether this phone is going to be better than the Iphone or not, Iphone users still have the colossal app store (already noted) and the Iphone itself has a very powerful fan base of people who are going to be reluctant to switch. The Iphone will have power long after another phone begins to rule the market.

  • The question is: "IS IT BETTER THAN THE NEXT iPHONE?"

  • the iphone also has a backgrounder app

    you have to jailbreak it, but it still has it

  • hey man srry i havent been watching u on the live thing lately not for like while but um yeah palm pre is sikk

  • Dude I head about this phone like 4 months ago I'm getting it!!!!!!!

  • Pre has nothing on the iphone, after seeing the vid on their site, this is just another copy with a couple extra features. They said the design was inspired by nature, give me a break. As he said the app store alone is already a hard thing come up against.

  • bro man, its a greatt fone, and raelly mi oppinion,i reckon its better than mi iphone 3G, nice Ui and everything.

  • Good video..You should try to hide the mic though

  • what did the mice and stuff cost?

  • And another thing, what the hell is wrong with Palm and Apple? They seem to think it's perfectly acceptable to sell you a mobile phone that can't record video!!! It's friggin 2009 and NOT 1999 for God's sake. Samsung's Omnia can record in HD 720P resolution then output that to a TV, but the iPhone and Pre can't even record ANY video! Yet you all think it's the Jesus phone!!! Makes me laugh.

  • i do have and am very happy with the jesus phone, but not being able to record pisses me off.

    also the calender .. there is no option to put it on front page ...

  • the mic is really helping your videos out. so much clearer sound

  • iPhone becoming the new iPod? hahahahahahahahahahahahhahaha ROFL you are fucking joking? No chance, what, Apple will take down Nokia with one phone? hahahahaha. I sudgest you look at thwe world market and stop thinking what happens in the US applies the rest of the world before you talk.

    Apple has a utter joke of control of it's apps, Palm won't, iPhone is aimed at the consumer, Palm is not, it's aimed at business. iPhone will NEVER become the iPod of mobile phones. NEVER. Fact.

  • your other intro is better

  • i got some awesome videos just uploaded my speck seethru green
