[jonholloman]

[soffegirl101]

[SystemOfTheKnot]

[TheKidTrio]

[sonicpokemondbzfan97]

Holy crap on a stick a palm pre in a palm pre :O 6:17 - 6:32

[Musethemusic10]

@sonicpokemondbzfan97 LMAO it's INCEPTION!!!! haha

[lalorockz]

Had the pre, unfortunately i lost it :l but I have the Evo now but I still kinda wish I had the pre. It was so simple and fun to use!

[twisterspin24]

@lalorockz yeahh im thinking of getting the pre but i dont need wat the evo has..

[RubberBacon]

why was that not the commercial for the pre instead of that creepy lady!!!!lol

[greenscreeningthings]

I like this phone a lot. But I think I'd rather have an iPhone. However if they at least got better hardware I'd consider it more.

[nickyguy25]

i had the pre i had to give it back cuz we i live it drop to mutchs calls

[TheQuick64]

i might get this phone as my upgrade:D

[Dontpickmelast101]

@TheQuick64 yeah me too my upgrade from metro piece of shit

[MrMohawkBaby]

i wish so much i get this phone for my birhtday xD

[TheChinkyLatina]

wats pandora? :\

[Chaoskid981]

@TheChinkyLatina its internet radio

[twisterspin24]

waitin for this phoneee

[kickiniitbak]

i had this phone. its actually a rly good phone. i now have the htc evo. gotta say. NO COMPARISON at all. but the pre was pretty fast with everything. i didnt have any issues with it until the very end. overall great phone. but if ur gonna get a new phone from sprint. definitely get the evo

[Mondires]

How the hell does this guy get phones? And I wonder what his actual phone looks like. He probably has the best one. XD

[jazzmusicplayer]

what's better this or the htc hero?

[GypsyRobotic]

@jazzmusicplayer

Palm pre

[moviesunrated]

The thing that makes me laugh is, when it came to the UK, the iPhone was only on a Network called O2, and so the Pre came, and that was also on O2 only. But in America, iPhones on AT&T and Pre's on Sprint XD

Here the iPhone is now also on a Network called Orange :( And soon, will be on a Network called Vodaphone D; Well my iPhones on O2, O2's the best TBH.

[kitsunecross]

does anyone know if you can download from the internet that video shown at 6:00?

[kickiniitbak]

@kitsunecross if you have the palm pre then that video is installed onto ur phone already. but if you dont i guess you can watch the video on youtube whenever you want because i don't know where you can download that lol.

[sirwilliam530]

whats your favorite verizon phone?

[okayplaya00]

thanks noah!

[01informer]

i meant virtual qwerty key board

[01informer]

i know this vid is old and you may not remember, but does the pre have a landscape qwerty key board

[msbasketballchicka]

after this video im pretty sure im getting the pixi instead of the pre bcuz of the wiggle right out of the box. there are other videos of pre's wiggling ALOT and now i know y... PALM PIXI HERE I COME!! lol :b

[RetroJoystick]

you could try the palm pre plus, which is faster, has video recording, and better sliding and keyboard

[chrismari123]

@RetroJoystick vid recording will come to all webos devices. Including original pre and pixi's

[waalteer]

Great review!! Thanks!

[edwardjiggle]

pre vs. droid?

[lawrencevelo]

@edwardjiggle

i agree we need a pre vs droid

[soccerqueen181]

can someone please tell me how do you get the touchscreen texting keyboard on the palm pre because idk how to get it on the palm pre

[yuigohnarutopokmon6]

i dont think you van,but i can be wrong. I know it can be upsetting sometimes. =(

[suzzyrox]

@soccerqueen181 you have to download and do the preware thing.

[iSpeed09]

i don't think you can.

[zackam1306]

you cant it doesnt offer it yet it may for verizon though i just called verizon and they said they were offering the pre

[shutupsamandseth]

@soccerqueen181 get preware by rooting the device i think then download virtual keyboard

[jdp429]

Mr LoveHate do not get the htc that shit sucks its big and bulkie and i dropped that shit one time and it had to be no more than 2 feet from the ground and the screen shattered its slow and you really have to push hard to us the touch screen same goes for the samsung moment the Pre is the way to go i've had it for 3 weeks naw and i love it and its so much stuff to do on it. it might seem complicated at first but you'll get use to it seriously GET IT.

[edwardjiggle]

dude ur totally right man i 100% agree with u

[MrLoveHate]

Im either getting Palm pre or HTC G1 for christmas ...but i dont know which one to get ! please help

[edwardjiggle]

dude r u kiddin def palm pre the g1 is outdated and chunky, pre is a pretty sweet piece of tech

[cmchinky]

i just saw a video, cnet: palm pre vs iphone 3gs dogfight.. and it said that the pre had better phone call quality. i think you should have a look, its a pretty good comparison video of the two phones!

[NudoxFan]

Palm pre is the best phone

[runswithcoyote17]

palm pre or pixie?

[VictorTranVlogs]

thier pretty much the same but if you want a slider phone ger the pre

[yyyy2999]

PRE for sure, and its pixel

[runswithcoyote17]

@yyyy2999 its definitely not pixel lol. its pixi

[yyyy2999]

yes my mistake, rawffle. i think they both dont have a big enough screen. Maybe the iphone or motorola driod? driod by far has the biggest screen, 4.1 inches i think.

[runswithcoyote17]

@yyyy2999 na. i dont use internet on my phone so it would be a waste of money to get the iphone. as for the droid, i dont wanna switch carriers cuz i have at&t and verizon phones cant be unlocked for other carriers

[yyyy2999]

if i were to get an iphone i'd get it without data plan, 3gs 16 gb for 200. Seems good. apple has like over 100k applications but i'll admit probably like 70k are useless.

[runswithcoyote17]

@yyyy2999 you have to get the data plan with the iphone. thats like an extra 30 bucks a month. no thanks lol

[yyyy2999]

oh that sucks, i feel like the iphone is so pushy, forcing you to get some stuff you dont want.

[runswithcoyote17]

@yyyy2999 lol i know. thats how apple makes money =)

[whos56]

@yyy2999.......... HTC HD2 is the biggest touch screen

[gabrielblas1]

Sqwishy, sticky, grippy, LOL

[heymoviemaker]

Which Would You Recremend...

Palm Pre or Samsung Moment?!

[VictorTranVlogs]

get the pre

[heymoviemaker]

@VictorTranVlogs haha but i think i want the moment. thanks though

[rockoboy4ever]

your really picky!i love this phone!

[YeseniaA650]

Ya i know. the only apps i use are the ones on a much more realistic level, something educational, or getting around town etc etc. Palm Pre is great! :)

[YeseniaA650]

I really dont get what all the hype is about the iPhone, i find it "iRediculous", i personally find the iPhone as a toy, i mean come the fuck on who the fuckn hell is gonna use like 1000's of useless apps that make fart sounds and such as that, no one but a bunch of KIDS, all you iPhone users need to stop hoping on steve jobs dick and get a REAL phone that actually has much more of a purpose in use, i hope to god the Pre apps to come are not as useless as the ones in the iPhone.

[hocuspocius]

In fact, the apps will make you forget about web pages, which will be archaic in the next couple years. My massive beer and wine database apps, which recommend and save my preferences, NY Times reader, my bank application, apps that show me reviews of the things around me cleanly, NYC transit updates and recommendations, guitar tuner/metronome/chord player/encyclopedia, apps that keep my toddler engaged for long drives...none of those are for kids.

[DMichael52]

Exactly.

[FCBMADRID]

HTC HERO> PRE

[residentpswii]

HTC Hero<iPhone

[Emberfairy]

yeah i checked in the store but if u think about it , its pretty good the cheapest one 70 bucks is worth for unlt. inet and txt and pic mail...

[MahDickInYourMouth]

kudos on the video. has there been any major complaints on the pre? if so tell me and how about any glitches found?

[agtitan2868]

you suck balls too.

[normy1632]

noah u rock!!! i dont go anywere else if im lookin for a fone unboxing or review!!! btw did u do the blackberry 8900 on att yet?

[Emberfairy]

do you really have to enroll in the simply everything plan? to be able to use it even without the internet?

[Dragonrider061]

The only other option is the Everything Data plan.

[mackrules1456]

Palm pre kicks ass. Sprint is looking way better with there phones than att.

[xrtsplash]

@mackrules1456 no kidding, i have att, and for the past few years i have only used unlocked phones from different carriers.

[fmswarrior]

@mackrules1456 its funny that u say that and since ur comment was 10 months ago and now 10 months later, AT&T has the Palm Pre too, but even better its the Palm Pre Plus.

[jayrock1987]

@mackrules1456 FAILED

[pballakid15]

What is your actual phone service provider?

[faze4860]

no video? >:(

[salvationwothin]

do you have to get a data plan in order to purchase it?

[Dragonrider061]

Yes

[jbrucato22]

"The pants test."

[faze4860]

lol

[jesseboy2211]

i bought my pre already its coming on friday yay....

[dp100eboggan]

I figured I'd give this thing several months to get the kinks and complaints out of the way. Now I just gotta wait til halloween when I can get the $150 discount. Instinct, your days are numbered!

[Hastinet]

how do you get $150 discount ? :D

[dp100eboggan]

$75 off after being a customer for a year plus you have to extend your contract 12 more months

$150 off after being a customer 2 years plus you have to extend your contract 24 months.

Even though I was gonna buy this next month, Sprint's retention people sold it to me this morning for $100 which will be rebated, so in essence, i got it for free! Should have it some time next week! Giggity!

[Hastinet]

sweet, lol

[jonnosaurus]

no it doesnt

sprint and verizon do not use sim cards.

only att and tmobile do.

[phinfan55]

Wow ur a fuckin dick flex he jus asked a ?

[flexwheelR]

no, u just cut out a picture of one and put it in.

[RatedFreebie]

Can you get the Palm Pre in the UK?

PM ME?!

[LILMEXICANO25]

sour grey g0 with spRiNT iTZz wAy bEtTEr tHE pALmm PRE alMOSt BEATS tHE ipHone and every 1 tHinKs teh ipHone is the bEast i got ma Palm pre and i LOVE IT

[SourGrey]

Man i wana abandon att. But i dont know where too run.. Palm Pre or the MyTouch or G2 or whatever there calling it these days. i liek both devices. But i can put my finger on it. Its really frustrating too make a decision.

Maybe i should look at whats more affordable..? What do you guys think?

[biochemist8]

Go to Sprint. Get the Plam Pre. Pre price dropped to 150 dollars now.

Also Sprint has a revolutionary new plan that's only 70 dollars for unlimited text, data, mobile to mobile, gps. Check it out man. I plan to switc to this plan when my contract expires.

[evansanderick9596]

NOAH RULES

[Ruiso]

I have to say: You´ve got a beautiful fingers

(sorry for the offtopic)

[GGangstaZILLA]

Yo just so ya'll know the first version of a new phone always fails. I would wait for the second one.

[browneyednessagirl93]

you cant use a palm pre with at&t can you?

[iMacLover65]

no (or at least not yet). at&t uses gsm band, however sprint uses cdma. you'd need to open it up and replace the radio.

[browneyednessagirl93]

replace the radio?

[iMacLover65]

the radio is what communicates with the network, in this case sprint.

[browneyednessagirl93]

Ah I see so its pointless?

[iMacLover65]

pretty much.

[Icyryan007]

nuh uh. its on sprint

[kzs7777]

wow da 4 greatest touch fones [in my opinion]

[gottalovenewyork1]

Does it record videos too?

[MonsterEnergy12345]

there is no way i would ever get this. the blackberry tour is so much better. and it doesnt feel like a plastic piece of shit

[Yellowlad]

well then get the tour no1 really cares if u hate it pointless comment

[WHOAitZpogo]

The Palm Pre is pretty cool, but the commercial with the "albino" holding it doesn't make me wanna buy it O_O

[katanauser101]

ikr

[hme1011]

i play one paw bandit everyday! and i have yet 2 win! that thing is rigged!!

[whodoyouthinkiam]

if it wasn't in there tos i would use this program i have to hack it and have unlimited turns, but im scared they have it so they can monitor if any external programs are being used and i do want to win :I

[SixthTreeAtNoon]

Theres no question, The iPhone WINS!

Plus the Palm Pre looks cheap like a hooker

[BunnyEnterprisesInc]

bitch iphone cant multitask apple fanboy gtfo

[WAYerz]

You forgot the motorola evolke for cricKet

[AlexTheSubject23]

CricKet is NOT a major U.S. carrier, nor will it ever be. CicKet should die.

[WAYerz]

and this is why I have at&t

[biancadgarcia]

my parents just bought me the palm pre today! its awesome!

[pjanuary1]

lmao this guy is actually gettin so excited bout the phone he talkin to hiself kudos for that now i gotta get this phone

[NotoriousAlexx]

hes doin it for the viewers smart1

[Ciaralover2008]

WTF!!!!! it had no video capture

[Indecom]

and neither did the iphone until like 2 years after it came out.

[nodik]

man blackberry stole iphones looks .... i didnt believe it but the storm has the black and chrome outlining

[strpker32]

nigga wtf u got so many phones let me get 1 for reallll

[justin43712]

yea i know right? he has all those freakin phones! can we have the old ones or somethin! btw im with tmobile and i dont want another sidekick i want a windows mobile phone that has a keyboard!!!!! thank you!

[Indecom]

a lot of these phones are just loaners for review.

[UploadMayhem]

1:46 is a cell phone 0rGy

[COOKIE4TEHWOOKIE]

i like this phone but i hate its commercials

[marblewonder]

webOS looks awesome but palm should have designed the hardware better.

[faheemthedream2007]

also the screen size should have been bigger AND the qwert keyboard should have been horizontally positioned..

that would have been awesome..

[peter2kok]

Pre users

w w w. PalmPreForum. org

[SoonerCougarFan]

is that without a sim

[fmrc69]

so...is the screen smaller?

[cookiemonster307]

the screen size is 3.2 inches and the 3G, 3GS screen is 3.5 inches so yes it is smaller to the iphone

[ash61961]

cant wait until this phone comes to verizon

[cookiemonster307]

and at&t!!

[ash61961]

its not coming to att. att is gsm but this phone is cdma which doesnt use sim cards. the only carriers that are cdma are verizon and sprint. u should check out the lg opera aka arena, its going to att

[cookiemonster307]

it is coming to att. there is a GSM version of the palm pre for att and rogers in 2010.

[ash61961]

where does it say that?

[cookiemonster307]

engadget ,

gizmodo, icellphonedeals,

palminfocenter,

blog.treonauts,

palmpre,

cnet,

phonearena,

gsmarena. all those websites and maybe more

[ash61961]

oh i just looked it up sorry my bad.

[cookiemonster307]

haha its cool

[lancerevolution1]

the palm pre will never come out on att. its only on sprint and coming only to verizon in 2010. sorry

[cookiemonster307]

well if it doesnt go to at&t then i will just get the blackberry storm 2. RIM BlackBerry Storm 2 9520.

[lancerevolution1]

get the blackberry tour=)

[cookiemonster307]

i cant i have at&t. i might wait to get the gemini later this year.

[residentpswii]

actually i think its the storm 2 9550 or just storm 9550

[tedstriker84]

In Okt 2009 the Palm Pre GSM Version will be soled in Europe by O2... so you can import it =)

[lancerevolution1]

yeah good luck. but here in the usa the palm pre had a lot of hardware issues=(

[silverboots000]

woah? the screen wobles?!?!?! wtf? big question, Palm Pre or HTC Touch Pro???

[daniiiex]

I wouldn't even consider the Touch Pro, old shit.

[AlexandaDaGrate]

Its better to have an ad for the phone when it turns on as opposed to just a white screen like a blackberry!

[MuZiCL0VA2009]

My cousin has the palm pre its not nearly as good as my expectations of it. I heard that it will be getting an app store thats good to hear. But the iphone has a better feeling to it. It fits better in your hands. Palm Pre is very small also. I rather go on facebook on my iphone then the palm pre. the screen does not really wobble though(other guy said). palm pre is a cool phone but not worth upgrading from an iphone.

[DJThijz]

I have a dream.. A Palm Pre... but bigger(display) with a very nice sideslide-out keyboard a better camera and nice loud music. That would be GREAT! But btw, a few questions: Has it got a capacative or a resistive touchscreen? is the browser quicker than the 3GS? What about the memory?(internal/external) How are the camera specs? At how many cards does it clearly slow down?

[wpsagotice]

umm you basically described the iphone

[DJThijz]

in what way?

iPhone does not support good sound, a good camera and a slide-out keyboard

[RamoneTalarico]

yeah i agree,..i wont be getting th ePre because the keyboard and the screen size.

[semahj]

its capacitive

browser speed i about the same but 3s a lil faster maby

8gigs of internal no sd card slot

3.2 cam

and it depends on wut the cards r like if and app dat uses up lil memory or an app dat uses alot

[DJThijz]

okay thx a lot!

quite positive;)

[chltmdwp]

i've seen palm pre . my friend got it and it looks okay. Design is so so. I rather get new omnia series but it's only for verizon. sucks.

[calebjcms09]

The Pre Is VERY ugly. : )

[coolfx350]

help with Pre

w w w. PalmPreForum. org

[JaAEspinozA]

this phone is really nice im hoping to upgrade to it

[tv321123]

do not buy the pre . I got tricked into bying it and it is not nt a good as people say it is. the phone feels cheap and the screen wobles.i aredy exchanged my pre 4 times. N ow the problem is the area under the screen is not respondeding good and i can not go back a in a app.Now i am kill9ing my self i did not buy a iphone. DO NOT BUY

[twssfilms007]

You just lied about pretty much everything... The pre kicks ass!

[tv321123]

whell maby it is great for you but i am having a lot of problembs.but it is a great phone when it works

[179990049]

not as good as the iphone 3gs

[Gajie50]

dude if u type like that noone is going to take you seriously
