  • I think if I was stuck in a bad moment I would call someone and not try to fuck off with the mirror.

  • @wyoav

    Okay everyone.. The mirror is for if ur stranded somewhere, Mirrors are used to reflect off the sun and if Search Rescuers r lookinq for u they will see the liqht beam from the mirror on the Pre!!

  • "make up wearing person"

    LOOL.

    Otherwise, great review.

  • I like that he said that..ha...he took into considertion that a gay could be looking into this phone...dont wanna offend anyone now

  • LOL hes so politically correct. "Make up wearing person".

  • more people should speak and write correctly.

    English is a nice language, it's a shame it's being ruined.

  • I love that

    : )

  • signal an aircraft to come get you on a desert island with a mirror ON A CELL PHONE lol but dont call anybody too much radiation

  • Does anyone knows when will the unlocked version be released? =)

  • Never. Seriously.

  • i just got mine pretty excited

  • Does anyone know how sensitive the touchscreen on the Pre is? I have an iPod Touch and it's level of sensitivity drives me nuts at times. I definitely prefer the sensitivity of my Treo 680... Just wondering if anyone knew how the Pre measured in terms of sensitvity?

  • what the heck halfm of your reviews are about the palm pre tri more other phones

  • Piece of cheezy sliding button plastic piece of shit ..... Just another iPhone wannabee

  • i like this palm pre soooo much.. the shape is beauty... and i dont mind with the keyboard.. its fit with my finger.. and for the people who dont like palm, just dont watch the video.. have fun with ur sucks iphone alone..

    this is the phone i wanted for long.. cant wait till it launch in my country..

  • That man REALLY needs to moisturize. His hands are callused.

  • I just ordered this phone. I got it for $200. The discount is if you go online. For most people you have to wait until your contract of two years is up. Since my mom works for Sprint, I only had to wait a year. Great Phone (: . Looks TIGHT !

  • If your getting it for 219$ you're being jipped, you ALWAYS get it for 199$ if you renew your contract (2 years I think.)

    If you say apps are deserted, dl MotionApps classic emulator, you get ALL the apps from the original palm or w/e.

  • If you're a make up wearing person. Ha. :] Good overview. I love this phone.

  • yes, cuz i ALWAYS get stuck on deserted islands! hahaahaahha

  • would u recomend this phone for a thirteen year old?

  • most likely a 13 year old wont use it to it's full capabilities ( as in need it), but yeah sure why not?

  • The ridge is now sharp.... People just try to find something wrong with this phone which is nearly impossible!

  • Pfft. It has scrolling problems, and cant even record video. You were saying?

  • hey any one know how much this is if u have a plan with sprint already?

  • Well I can get a $150 off any Sprint phone after oct.and it's going to cost me $219

  • ah lucky how do u get 150 off?

  • I have had my phone for 2 years.

  • oh ok

  • awesome phone i really want one

  • nice song, 21st century break down :)

  • How can I make the pre work on the boost mobile unlimited plan?

  • how can I make the pre work with the boost mobile unlimited plan?

  • LOL!

    Mirror can be used to check your makeup or signal SOS if you are trapped in a desert island!

    Lmao!

  • So what is a handsome phone to you? Clearly this is important to you.

  • lol

  • Great phone.

  • I watch a lot of the phone reviews, and it always seems like the narrarator is just winging it. Important features get skipped, and the dialogue is filled with a lot of "umms". Maybe you should prepare with a list of features on a cheat sheet or something.

    Overall, good reviews, but with a very unrehearsed feel to them.

  • maybe you should shut up

  • this is as close as sprint is going to get to the iphone for a while. its pretty much the iphone for sprint

  • LOL "Signal overhead aircraft for rescue if you're trapped on a desert island"

  • I love watching idiots argue.

  • I HATE WATCHING IDIOTS ARGUE

  • I HATE WATCHING IDIOTS REPEAT

  • I JUST HATE IDIOTS

  • i have a verizon voyager and several microsd cards all fully loaded with music and videos that i never paid for i can save and load on any pc or laptop , who cares bout itunes and i have rhapsody which is better i also use a t32 sciphone 16gb and load back n forth it also syncs to rhapsody you people need help , whats so special about the iphone ITS PLAYED OUT ALREADY - 5 YEAR OLD PHONE

  • The iPhone still, and will for a long time be the top mobile device. Its only 3 years old, in a month.

  • Yeah but happens when you wanna listen to ALL your music.. You gotta load your "microsd cards" into your phone. When I can just go out and buy a 32gb iPhone that holds around 7,000 songs.. Do you even know 7,000 songs punk?

  • awesome phone :D , at 6:19 when he says web os it sounds like huevos :D lol

  • I'm 90% sure I'm going to purchase this phone this week. But a few of my co-workers are pressuring me into buying the new iPhone. Does the Palm Pre provide updated software as Apple does w/their products later on down the road?

  • Nice video. Very informative.

  • LOL signal aircraft

  • do you people kno that the rubber keys on the pee will fade sooner or later?? too bad cause we with iphone wont have that problem...hahahahaha IPHONE all the way,, the rest,,,, just copy cats who cant afford the service...

  • haha please continue. its really funny how so many iPhone users are trying to convince themselves that their phone isn't a thing of the past.

  • Because the iphone isn't? why are companies still trying to make an "iphone killer"? And yes i said trying.

  • well its going to be hard for companies to make an iphone killer now, because there already is one. the pre.

  • uhmmm macman if it wasnt for the palm company the iphone wouldn't exist

  • not crazy about the pre, i love my iPhone, but if i were to go to sprint, chances are this is what i would get

  • fuck off mactard

  • wow, mactard, how original, how about you fuck off windowsfag, stick to your hardware failures and software crashes, and you slow ass phone ....queer!

  • This phone looks great. Sprint usually has shitty phones, only phone I liked from Sprint recently was the Samsung Instinct, but this Palm Pre is much MUCH better than the Instinct, and looks up to par with the iPhone (something the Instinct definitely wasn't). I was going to hold out for the Samsung Android phone that's supposedly coming to Sprint later this year, but I may just see what this Palm Pre is about!

  • lol =P

    Ofcourse. I'll buy the phone in case of beeing trapped in a desert sometime ;)

    Good mobile tho =D

  • I love my iphone but the contacts, calendar and multitasking cards are really selling this phone for me.

    A little worried about the battery though.

  • this battery easily outlasts the iphones battery

  • the UI is pretty nice! much better than the iPhone.

  • haha makeup wearing person

  • What a copy of th iPhone.They should be sued!

  • Are you retarded?

    Just because it has similar features, does't mean its a copy off the IPhone.

    That's like saying Runescape copies of World of Warcraft or vise versa. It's TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.

  • dud does anyone notice!! the iphone came out way before the pre!! the iphone came out 3 years ago! the pre came out a week ago, i thiink we know whos copying, its palm!

  • no disrespect, seeing as you are pretty insightful from your other comments - but palm practically invented apps on phones. now thats one of apples selling points...so who's really copying?

  • still palm, now you wont be able to find a phone that doesnt run apps, every phone does now, but the iphone is the first to have and easy good looking fast way, the first, and now palm all of a sudden has a easy nice way to do it, palm is still the ''copier'' here, along with the g1

  • iphone may have taken the idea of apps, but they made it way better too. They made it so that anyone can download, and even create apps. Palm didn't exactly run with their apps idea.

  • iphone sucks pres glossy ass haha! pre is way better! macman you need to stop hating on it! if you dont like the phone why view the vid?? obviously ur interest in why this is a iphone killer! haha

  • No, iphone rocked all phones out there, it changed everything about phones. This phone is nice, I like the multiple apps, although that would probably kill the battery pretty quick. but The iphone has so many unique things about it that no other phone will every beat. and the release of the iphone 3G S, absolutely annihilates SOOOO many phones out there, including this one. Why do you think all of these new data phones are trying to be the "iphone killer" ? Because it set the standards sooo high

  • ANDROID IS AN IPHONE KILLER! have you noticed iphone 3.0 basically copied everything from android 1.5? and the new iphone 3GS now does everything android has already been doing!

  • iphone can do about 2 things at once... that's why it so fast... its a fake smart phone for dumbasses that believe in it.

    It has so much fukking limited ability! Thats why smart users go to the palm or other phones that can actually function for them!

  • No the iphone is fast because it's fast, not because it only does one thing at once(which is also untrue). And anyways it's a mobile phone, why would you want to have more than 3 apps open at once? all you really need is two apps open at one time, whatever app you are on, and music app. Because honestly, multitasking on a mobile phones screen isn't very effective anyways, Id rather have a super fast phone like the iphone, rather than a decently fast phone that can have more than 1 app at time

  • thank you finally somone agrees with me, fuck all these windows mobile, cheap phone lovers, iphone wins all the time, the only thing that will beat the iphone is apple next iphone

  • haha try again you windows using pre loving faggot, i only viewed to to see if it was an iphone killer, NOT the iphone is still the superior phone, all facts will be told when cnet does prizefight, iphone will whoop the pre's rubber keyed cheap plastic ass

  • bitch how bout you git off apples nuts!! the iphone is soo played out! it was cool when it first came out but now its just getting annoying and over rated! oh and i dont even use windows you dumb fuck! yea so fucks wit you FAGGOT!

  • yeah yeah, what do you use for your operating system homo!? i think that the reason people think the iphone is so played out is because they either can get one or just the fact that apple makes it, they automatically hate it, get a life you fucking poor queer!

  • bitch i aint no fuckin nerd like you dumb ass! how bout you go git a girlfriend! i aint poor thank you very much! i just dont wanna waste my money on some bull shit like the iphone and im not even with att you faggot ass piece of shit!

  • Haha, what??? Trapped on a desert island?

  • lol are you serious ..you know what u too easy so am so gonna give you 1 think that the pre does the iphone cant ''multitask'' your iphone still cant so that

  • ok now your just judging on my company prefrence, yes, i am an ''Apple FanBoy'' but i do know when something is better, if the pre was genuinely better than the iphone i would admit it, but the fact is, its not, people may say that an opinon, no is something is more innovative, beautful, and has a more stable software system then in no way can people say thats opinion, so how about you stick to the fact of the phone and not try to win the dispute by juding names and company prefrences

  • ugh, why did the have to make the keyboard such at an odd angle? and on top of that, you have that weird out of place silver backing when the phone is open. Just make it normal, and EVERYONE would buy into it. Some people are biased as to how the phone looks, compared to how it functions.

  • piece of shit

  • Is anyone else worried about screen scratches?

  • yea, thats y i dont mess with toucn screens

  • You would not want to be fat and have that phone. Which is ironic since they only sell it in america

  • its $70 for unlimited data including gps unlimited text nights at 7 pm. with 450 minutes plus there are extra discounts for almost anything just for a credit union member ship you get 10%off so that really would be $63 which is almost $40 cheaper than any iphone plan with the same except the nights would still be at 9.. and having the nights 2 hours earlier should save you a good amount of minutes

  • I totally am going to be stranded on a desert island.

  • the iphone sucks this phone looks awesome but i hate Sprint :/

  • i agree i had the iphone and mine broke every day.  im going to get the palm even though its on sprint

  • L A  O

  • a make up wearing person

    lmao (L)

  • iPhone=God

  • truey3con=fanboy

  • I can feel your rationality spreading through the internet

  • whats nasty?

  • so, for mirror uses you thought about make-up and signaling your position to airplanes in a desert island but the fact that you can use it to take self pictures completely eluded you. nice.

  • wow a NASCAR app? thats pretty stupid

  • Lol I like his mirrior comment. Signal overhead aircraft for rescue. I'm a little upset that the keyboard doesn't slide the other way. I'm talking about it sliding left to right so that the keyboard and buttons could be bigger instead of it sliding up and down. Seems like it would be better that way.

  • ***VIDEO****

    Anyone know what video formats the pre is compatible with? I'd like to rip some DVD movies, but I'm unsure what format to convert the files to.

  • f* iphone trash rip off . This Palm Tre is much cooler & better to handle.

  • i got mine. but im confused about how everyone "waited in line". i went to a sprint KIOSK, not even a store, and they had 15 left. and it wasnt even early. it was at 3:00 PM

  • The Screen should be bigger, hence the device should be bigger. I do not like the keyboard design. It should slide out the side of the phone like in the MOGUL or the TOUCH PRO. I have the MOGUL and am due for an upgrade. The only things that I do not like about the MOGUL is that it's slow and I can't watch movies on it. I was ready to switch phone companies until I realized Sprint offers the most options and perks for the cheapest prices. For now I'm stuck, but Sprint it disappointing me.

  • got one : )

  • how is it?

  • its amazing the keyboard looks small on all of the videos but reall i got used to it within 5 minutes of opening the phone and the only previous phones ive owned have had full slide out keyboards

  • can this phone play 3d games like iphone and ipod?

  • It's possible that it can. They ran a 3D game in a palm emulator running the pre and it ran flawlessly

  • nice...im thinking of getting this phone but the plan seems a bit expensive...if i could get 600 minutes with all the internet services (right between 450 and 900 minutes) that would be perfect...but if im gona get it i might as well go all out and get the $100 plan...what's your advice?

  • $100? is that per month? cancel that noise...

  • yeah $100 at most....the cheapest is $70

  • 13 of us in line this morning and the sprint guys said they had 30 of them they are gonna sell out

  • Cool phone but it's so ugly. The keyboard looks too small and I don't like the curve of it when it's open. Screen could be bigger too. I know they want to keep it small but as these devices get more sophisticated, the screen's just going to have to be big. But it is nice to see these phones getting more and more amazing in their functions.
