[drew9931]

[MRTCrawford]

[sanjayGee]

[PurpleDinousaur]

[meshelbery]

Get you Asian wife  lushfmlk.info

[0809brown]

i just got to touchstones and the 2 backs came free with 2 extra batteries and all of it was $20 and no not all was for me i gave the other to my friend

[cvbcbcmv]

just bought one from verizon for 15 bucks and free overnight shipping, I'm getting it tomorrow

[spsmyth]

I just got two Touchstones on Amazon for 12.99 each. New. Got an extra wall charger and cable for 6 and two extra batteries for 6.

[rtsnyder6]

I love how when he is plugging the touchstone accessory into the wall, the box is mysteriously running away.

[juwon97]

palm pixi is better then palm pre and da pixi iz less money

[mbuckhannon]

I <3 the palm pre plus :^)

[lakshay369]

its not wireless if u still have to plug it into the wall....it just add an extra accesorie

[dahyana]

@lakshay369

agree...i was thinking about this product but if I still need to plug it into the wall why bother?

[bryantbrawler]

Get this i lost my palm pre usb charger part and i was at radio shack and i saw the car charger acessory and i was wondering if it came with the usb part then basically when you purchase a car kit you get another charger

[mythinkorg]

the guy is an idiot if your going to review an item you pre-cut open the box, etc and go over the product 1st you don't open it and do test live.

[goldmercury]

it took you 7 minutes to finally get to hooking this up what a reviewer!

[pphawkins]

on the bottom of the charging station, its a magnet, or mine is, so it hold firmly to my metal desk... :D

[mishii247]

You blab too much. Get to the point. That's about 8 minutes of wasted time.

[airkayb]

the bottom is called geico or gecko feet

[JonasTiren]

"So what you get in here is:

A USB-cable, a caradapter and a little adapter adapter" HAHAHAHAHAHA

[Funfen0]

waste of time

[havalopez]

I would like to see the touchstone plugged in through the car charger, in a car. Then, stick the dock on your dash, it should stick with the gecko feet thing. And than see if the magnet is strong enough to actually keep the whole thing there. That would be awesome, I have no need for this in my home but it would it would awesome in my car. MAKE A VIDEO SHOWING THIS! :)

[Pokadrumographer]

When will you put a palm pre for grabs on the One Pawd Bandit?

[pimpzx2]

just thought id let u all know YES any micro USB car charger will work on the Pre! i used my blackberry storm car charger and it worked perfect.

[bigslayer67]

i read a lut of reviews why do they say mat

[x13killer]

Tesla would be proud

[adamf663]

tesla would be bored

[klolomggmo]

does this take any longer to charge the phone than direct usb?

[Indecom]

he says its slower like 5 times in text and spoken word.

[vote001]

yes

[ndnavi50]

can it be used with ththe pre car charger

[zachray]

Really? How is this informative? How is this guy working for phonedog? No offense, but why didn't you touch on the fact that the wireless charger is made w/ gecko feet technology and it sticks to almost anything. That's a neat fact. Also, how did you miss 5:17 ? In a huge easy to read diagram, NOT for use connected to computer. ONLY connect to a wall outlet.

Just my 2 cents.

[sanyjh]

This would have been a great idea and worth $70 if you could charge the Touchstone up itself and take it with you and use it to charge your phone without having to have access to a wall outlet. But, this is just boring and so not worth the money or the time it takes to charge your phone. I mean really what's the point? It has to be plug into an electrical outlet anyway, so why would you use it over the regular charger when the regular charger gets the job done faster?

[bobbytimberlake]

Because you plug the wireless charger in *once*. Then you come home every day and just sit your Pre down on it, and pick it up when you're ready to go.

The alternative is having to pop open a cover on your phone and plug a charger into it, and then unplugging it and having the cord slide off the desk or wedging it under something.

I think it's a little pricey, but at <$40 I'd grab it in a heart beat for the day in, day out convenience.

[UKxKDH]

do you know if its going to come out in any other colors

[charlescandelario]

its weird.. wireless things should be mobile..

[twilightlover9110]

cool phone

[punkrulz24]

I hope there would be a way to disable the auto answer when it is attached to the touchstone charger. If I'm asleep, last thing I want is to reach for the phone to see who it is and accidentally answer when I don't want to!

[studpum1]

lol you still have to plug it in or put it or in this case put in on. Idont think its worth it i mean if ur so so lazy just to not plug it in and you would rather pay $60 then this is for you

[XanMan1980]

It's actually $69.99

[B3NARD1]

Awsome

[sqitso]

That sucks that it doesn't charge from computer

[vVvGamer]

It does charge from the computer. Just plug the usb into the pc and the other end into pre and boom. Now if you're talking about these accessories, no clue.

[Reuman123]

This is good for when your battery is almost dead, for when your sleeping. if its as slow as they claim it to be. Cool stuff man.

[Laucheehung]

this thing is way too epxensive- when you get beyond the aesthetics and everything, all it is is a charger...

[twssfilms007]

I have one and the battery life is CRAP! It takes like 1-2 hours to get it down to 50%... Both ways of charging are slow either just Micro USB and Touchstone... takes nearly and hour and a half to get full charge!

[VeeTwelve]

Palm pre is so perfect..

[XXLdreams]

great video.... go to my vids the fastest 3g+ mobile network available on w/ best smart phones all w/ no contract.

[thehellsyeah123]

gotta admit the touchstone charger is pretty cool cause it charges from the back cover

do you have to pay for the smartphone service or a data service with the pre?cause i had a blackberry from verizon and it was like 30 dolllars a month extra

[TheBigCdog]

I think with sprint you just pay $100 a month for unlimited everything. But you can lower it with the amount of minutes you use. Like if you only use 450 minutes a month than it will be $70. I think that is how it works. Look on sprint website. They lay it out so it is pretty simple.

[thehellsyeah123]

thanks for the help:)

[rc18trocks]

why?! so unessesary

[flylers93]

i tried my pre with the treo 800 wall charger, and it worked but i unplugged it after it was fully charged because i didnt want anything to happen overnight.

[SlipknotxX720]

My dad was gonna get me this phone because i got first honors all year in school..... should he get it or not?

[fanofsongs]

Ask him to get the sciphone 168+.

[EastMangoBoy]

You could wait a while until they get some issues fixed...

The bad thing I hear about Pre is the battery life, but if you turn off bluetooth and wi-fi (ev-do, roaming or not, is fine)... or buy an extended battery from seidio (coming out soon)...

Or just wait it out to see more reviews and further updates.

I think I might get it soon (by next week).

[SlipknotxX720]

What kind of issues does it have so far?

[EastMangoBoy]

Sorry if I made it seem like the Pre has problems, cause it doesn't. When compared to other phones, the positives HEAVILY outweigh the negatives.

I was just saying he could wait until the WebOS gets more updates, because the Pre JUST came out... and like every phone (including the infamous Iphone), the Pre needs refining.

Infact, their first update to 1.0.2, fixed many bugs and included a Clock App.

I hope to see more of those kinds of updates.

I'll be getting my Pre tomorrow (my dad has one).

[SlipknotxX720]

Oh.... ok thank you....

[nicjitsu2099]

Nice reference to the Arrington/Laporte incident.

[ryanskatz]

haha i win

[RedeemerUXO]

Cigarette lighters ftw.

[Palmac15]

I bought it! Works great! I got it for $52 bucks with using my Sprint Premier loyal card and got 25% off of accessory. If anyone has that card, might as will use it on the wireless charger! xD

[weehooherod]

I would only buy it if it had full charging speed and data sync. Also It should be able to plug into the computer. If anything there could be one cord that runs to the wall for power and one that runs to the computer for data.

[pllb]

HAHA Noah, there was a big X that said not to plug it into the PC right when you opened the instructions and a checkmark that said wall =)

[RSQV2]

dnt read this(cuz it really wrks). u will gt kissd on the nearest frieday by the love of ur life. 2mara wll b the bst day of ur life hwever if you dnt post ths comment 2 at least 3 vids u will die withn 2 days nw

[stainglassfox]

I think that instead of putting another cord with the touchstone, why not make it a charger/data receiver for the phone? Think about it, touchstone itunes sync? Eh?

[mpeters13]

I like the Pre an all, but this Touchstone Charger is a crude gimmick.

[FreakNerd01]

ur awesome noah i watch all ur phone videos :D

[NJMetsHero]

The Touchstone seems a little overhyped. It is cool, but I wouldn't pay $70 for it. It doesn't do anything terribly special. It still has to sit and charge as if it were connected with a wire.

[victorperou]

too many videos of palm pre!!!! we must change we know this phone from a to z

[jlseal]

Noah, you really need to work on keeping what you're taking about centered on the camera.

[brightness86]

I like the videos but my attention span doesn't always like 10+ minute videos...can you slim them down a little?

[victorio123456789]

couldn't you just plug any usb charger into that??

[bIueviper]

its still cool, but you`d think for 70$ it would charge like a few feet away, it should lower in price, then PALM will sell more,and the people will be happy, (And able to afford it), they should make it like 30$

[holla06]

$70 for a charging device is like paying for a lowend phone lol. palm pre still cool tho!

[Cobija13]

i thought you could have it like 5 ft away and it would still be charging. that would be amazing. like lying in bed, texting or checking emails, and ur phones charging with no cables

[savagesnowball]

Dumbass.

[bIueviper]

that would be sweet

[ki2594]

err i wish Apple did some notification service like the Pre so u can see u have an email while the phones locked.

[Jswag7892]

wen r u makin the lg env t ouch fullreview

[mikefil992]

he reposted it because u could see his number on the phone lol i got it yesssss

[HackerJunkie]

lolol wat is it!!

[mikefil992]

i would tell u but im not that kind of guy....i dont wanna make noah mad.....right??

[HackerJunkie]

no ur lame now... a loser

[mikefil992]

sure.

[armentip]

the rip off on the car chargers is that the data cable is SO short.. it hardly reaches from the car accessory port up to my ear.. and my port is located smack dab in the middle of the console.. totally ridiculous especially considering it's $30.. I'm gonna get the Sprint one instead now. Thanks for screwing me Palm.. use your head in the future please

[TheBluntNinja]

Just get a longer USB cable... they're wicked cheap.

[armentip]

firstly.. it cost $30 in the first place.. THEY should have sprung for a longer cable.. secondly, it won't be OEM.. cheesey.. Besides, how do you go and sell the recommended car charger with a short ass data cable.. I don't know.. I was all hyped about pre but it's really starting to bug me.. no video recorder.. can't even long press and save images from the web.. really obvious shortcomings are at large. They need to address quickly.

[Starbuckscp]

Thats because the iPhone is way better you guys.

[videogamer54]

iphone is late of all the hardware which they had in other phone like 5 years ago

the only thing that is good about the iphone is apps

[IAMGOTOGUY]

Another cool thing is when talking, placing the pre on the touchstone will convert to speakerphone so you can continue your conversation. When you pick it up, it switches back. At least this is what I've heard.

[pimpinjandro916]

they should just include the touchstone

it really makes no sense to get a $70 charger

[coolgadgetproduction]

repost???

[klolomggmo]

look at the instructions what fun would that be

thats the fun part finding out how to use it..and frustrating if you dont know o.O

[mugshit]

plz get a hold of the new iphone 3G S, i really wanna know if its worth it selling my iphone 3G for iphone 3G S

[wallyfranco9]

why did you repost?

[nanosman1]

[porky247]
