Palm Pre Plus vs Palm Pre - Performance

[BorealNeal]

hahahaahah i cant believe i used to own the palm pre haha my epic 4g touch rapes the whole preline

[iSaiRAS123]

I love when he gets bored after opening 48 cards

[iSaiRAS123]

I love the pre over the plus just because it as the trackball and lights when you do a gesture and its cheaper so i am going for it

[hockeyplayingkid]

how much ram does palm pre have and how much does plus have and how is the wifi signal.i will subscribe

[Yorkie2k8]

is the original palm pre really slow?

[cajcxj1]

u canadian

[jeffjizz]

i got 24 cards open on my original plm pre....

[meadej13]

palms are the best phones fo sho!!!

[aalopez65]

do you have google sync for this phone?

[bassstud10]

Is the screen on the pre plus glass? and also do u have to have the thirty dollar package or can u do with the fifteen dollar package?(Data)

[bassstud10]

[kaseygametime123]

wutever ur a lyer

[stauf09]

can you do day trading on this phone can anybody tell...

[yumyaw]

wow, that is definitely a lot of cards open on the verizon pre plus, but i am with Sprint and the Palm Pre will have to do. I don't believe i would have that many cards open anyway. I probably wont even have five open. So, im good with my Palm Pre from Sprint.

[goshinguy]

I think palm need to add an ability to minimize the opened card for eg a 2 fingers swipe from gesture area and up would minimize the card view and clear the desktop. It will make it a cleaner look if you want an app running at the background without clustering the front view of the desktop.

2ndly the ability to add multiple widget like Android is really appealing. Even latest nokia's phone has the ability to have different pages with different widget. it will be great if WebOS has this ability

[twitchy917]

I just recently got my Verizon Palm Pre Plus and it works amazingly I had the sprint Palm Pre and it worked slower so I switched.. toohoo i recommend Verizon Palm Pre Plis :) (im 15 btw, my mom paid for it all)

[chau2k5]

the original pre has better wifi signal, why would that be?

[baileebell]

i want the pre plus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[furygoalbrtis39]

AT&T Pre Plus too many cards errors at 19 cards

[Pure2Trance]

28 cards on my pal pre xD

[carlosgefe]

it will take a lot of time to close all those applications...

[furygoalbrtis39]

@carlosgefe or he could restart the phone

[garriswc]

@H20RockBandSH I'm almost positive they're exactly the same size.

[Ben0dom]

Definitely should have gone to 52, for the sake of the cards theme.

[Thevacationholiday]

does palm pre plushave voice commands?

[EdgarBajayras]

and the iphone runs how many?

haha fail

4?

[activechaos128]

nice vid, point well made.

[MrMrgrogles]

Wow... I have 15 cards open on my sprint pixi and it hasn't shown me the to many cards error XD

[garriswc]

@MrMrgrogles Yeah, starting with Need for Speed was kinda a bad idea :P

[poohscw]

i have the palm pre plus i love the idea of it i think that is is a great phone idea but it sucks when it comes to the touch screen and errors, i think that there needs to be some glitches fixed and it will be the best i think that it should do more than what it dose and i wish i had more apps, i love the 3d look to it. im a little pissed of though cause it does act a little dumb i have had this phone since march and i have had three phones already and i am getting ready to order another

[onurstarlol]

im so stupid i gave my pre back like a dickhead, because it didnt have video camera, now i feel like a prick i regret it so much but hey guess what? my bro has iphone 4 ahh damn he still cant change his background LMAO and he needs a bumper case to get a connection haha palm all the way

[NEWYORKVISIT]

Wow and still Need for Speed isn´t lagging. Awesome

[alinahunnie]

are the apps free? (or at least some of the good ones)

[lilpdidy99]

i dont even have this phone and i love it

[MrCrayonInk95]

Im sorry but not putting the button on the plus was a design mistake. It feels like something is missing and it just doesnt look as nice.

[BelieveAskReceive]

Damn Webos is Hot!!! I wish they could put it on the EVO or Iphone...

[MJ4ever098]

If theres wifi would i still have to pay for facebook ect. ?

[LorenBlakeTeam]

50 vs. 14 . . . so not fair! But I mean . . . you would need 50 cards . . . who in the hell would need 14? The most I open are probubley 6 at the most! :S

[ionlydrinkwater]

oh hai guys! whats the curve like? like does it suck or is it more comfortable to type?

[LorenBlakeTeam]

@ionlydrinkwater comfy! WAYYY more comfy! Feels AMAZNG! u think itd be hard to type with those tiny keys . . . thats what i thought! when i got my pre . . . well was i evr wrong! it was WAYYYY easier to type on than my iPod Touch with a virtual keybored!

[Reflekted]

thanks. this is helpful to me because I want the pixi plus and this is basically a comparison between the pixi and pre to me because they have the same ram and such.

[bgirl1214]

this is bs verizon just wants to copy sprint. Sprint started it first!

[HeyPoi]

yeah Palm Pre phones are amazing amazing, Apple doesnt have to do anything with the iPhone since they have the iPad out and they're devoted to that product now.

[ErisRivera5]

wow 50 cards ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhh im so getting tht phone no doubt nd i have the iphone time to try something new

[Pimpen32]

lets see iphone do that >:]

[ConMahaff]

13 apps on the Pre, which is still 12 more than the iPhone can run at a time.....

[DoubleBasschick2]

lol, "alright i'm calling this this, this is ridiculous"

[MrAbosaud]

that's amazing I'm waiting for my pre plus do do that.

thanks

[kRAz13StAt1C]

the plam pre lets you open a different amount of cards every time ive made my palm pre open cards...

[IMMICHEAL101]

Holly $hit that is a lot of cards. Makes me wish I could do that on iPhone.

[ratrodneon]

wow what an idiot...you cant compare performance when one with supposed higher performance has fewer apps on palm plus and the reg palm has more...fuckin stupid!

[hoddelkind]

Very, very nice!!!!

[Spamgasmic]

damn, i'm tossing my 3gs

[melo1415]

@Spamgasmic  lol

[dimandz07]

so wich should i get palm pre plus or the palm  pre

[ddudley26]

what is the name of the song that is playing in the background. it is really nice

[zapatac1]

cant top the original!!!!

[RDenny15]

good luck deleteing those 50 cards....

[bluefisch200]

@RDenny15 10 seconds...move the card up...next card...thats easy...

[eagamer23]

haahaahaha when you where at 21 apps it was your clock and it was 2 11 21

[sprintfan1997]

the pre had more wifi

[babauw]

Is there a 'close all' option for the cards or did you have to close all apps individually?

It would matter that much with normal use, but I can imagine having 5 - 10 cards open.

[babauw]

@babauw wouldn't, I meant wouldn't

[Cooliosperosous]

It really bugs me how every single time you press something, it's on the Verizon Pre first, although it may be a little faster, you're making it look like a huge difference. Be fair

[Erinator7000]

@Cooliosperosous it is fair. verizon is faster and sprint cant go as fast. there fore it is fair.

[siedpe13]

@Cooliosperosous its not a speed test, its a quantity test

[lion8heart]

Palm smartphones R the best ever smartphones, i love them...can't stand iPhones,...too much fuss around the iPhones.

[jetmedic997]

its stupid that the sprint pre is 149.99 on contract and the pre plus on verizon is 49.99 on contract and the pre plus is three times better

[iDiggMGL]

The new Palm Pre firmware makes it run like a brand new phone, it's impressive as hell!

[37DrAmAqUeEn37]

can you post a video on a whole how to use a palm pre plus or beginners video to palm pre plus

[LlLJAMIE]

I'm a bit annoyed that only a few months after the release of the Pre, they release the Pre Plus with what seems to be what the Pre should have had in the beginning.

However, by the looks of things, the Plus isn't really that much quicker. Sure, you can have more cards open and a bunch of games open at the same time on the Plus, but that's going over the top. The Pre looks good enough IMO.

[Theshiznitman]

there's no way I would ever need to have 50 cards open at once, not even 13! I run 4 at the most and I'm ok with that..i love my sprint pre!

[ItsZackk]

@Theshiznitman Are there even 50 apps to download ;)

[yumyaw]

@Theshiznitman do you still have you palm pre and if so, do you still love it?

[Theshiznitman]

@yumyaw yes I still have my sprint pre and yes I still love it but I would love it even more with a 1 GHz processor, more talk time and a new flat glass screen (pre 2) ;)

[Feliexxxxxxxx]

@Theshiznitman overclock it to a 1ghz processor?

[kaseygametime123]

@Theshiznitman ikr me too power to the sprint palm pre

[maximus10463]

Now im really pissed at Sprint!!! this is BS! why they didnt offer this one since the beggining????

[maddsri]

b/c shareholders were anxious for the company to start making money again. they waited for 2 years for this phone to come out. don't you know how a jewbag-run society works? it's all about money and quantity baby!

[nformby]

@maximus10463 Because it wasn't developed. lolz

It's not hugely different so you should be happy with your Sprint Pre.

P.S. It's not Sprint's fault about not releasing it to start with, palm hadn't released it then!

[dangercampwebshow]

What is there on the Plus instead of the button? I think that it looks better with the button.

[ZUNECARDSTV]

That's nuts for a mobile device.

Palm needs to make one of these bad boys with a bigger screen and on screen keys.

[Attractive04]

Yesssss exactly! That's what I want, a bigger screen, longer battery life and onscreen keyboard to go with the keys in case I don't want to slide up all the time. lol

[starcraft2zergfan]

you mean make an iPad? lol

[mafiasic]

multitasking monster :)

[urmainevent30]

You know what would be cool, is if you could skype with you palm pre

[davidam60]

-get a wifi phone use it as a router bam! congradulations!

[Jazzythebest]

i have need for speed on my phone except i dont have a palm pre i have an lg versa but i really want the palm pre plus

[xyxpaschanxyx]

plus is a monster ^^

[loganlapierre]

The funny thing is, is that the two devices are similar in every way, regardless of the button.

[FireproofATV]

No. The Plus has twice the memory (both ram and storage). thus proving that they are similar in every way with exception of ram, storage, and deletion of button =D

[AreJayOne]

Wow, nice. I would have guessed with twice as much memory you could open twice as many cards/apps, but I would have been wrong ;-)

[1vinnerman]

is there a scan to pdf app for palm pre plus?

[techman231]

do u think it will evar reach att

[alexx5309]

yeah its supposed to within the first half of 2010

[BorealNeal]

hahahah i thought all u i phone cocky sons of bitches already have a godly phone? why would would u need the pre? oh yea....CUZ ITS BETTER lol

[tridav123]

@BorealNeal Lol all i gotta say is nexus one.

[BorealNeal]

@tridav123 ive seen that phone and im not impressed sprint is coming out with the htc evo and that phone rapes big time for one its got an 8 mp camera and a 1.3 mp camera on the front for video chat and taking pics of urself and its full touch screen so other phones can suck it

[NikeHead954]

pRE wINS liKE lIKE tEHE pERSON sAID THEY HAVE TO BE THE EXACT DISTANCE FROM EITHER TOWER AND THE PALM PRE IS SOO UGLY WITH OUT THE BALL

[Editor02Channel]

what song plays in this?

[lalorockz]

Always best to have the originals ;)

[lexusES350h]

Love my pre =D but i wish i waited for the pre plus ;/

[TheFlashingEagle]

Also who in gods name needs 50 moe foe'in cards

[DarkenedTheater]

I think the point of the video was to show how more ram is beneficial. Sure, no one will ever need to launch 50 apps but that was not the point of the video.

[TheFlashingEagle]

There is no real way to compare these unless you are the exact same distance from a sprint tower and the same for a verizon tower

[Weswada]

you needed to configure the two phones identically as there were no valuable performance (speed) comparisons. Or change the name of the video title from 'performance' to 'multitasking memory.'

Thanks for the video.

[TheBan199]

@05mitchem

what do you have it only works for verizon i

[05bmitchem]

When will the palm pre plus be available?? Any ideas?

[bwillwall]

it already is...

[05bmitchem]

I mean in the UK

[rigolin1771]

they already have the gay iPhone and that didnt save them. what makes you think they will be amazing with a phone like the Pre? they are still going to overcharge you for everything.

[ipodgrey2]

i love the pre..

[travissf]

Doon palm pre will be at&t so yeah

[jtracer04]

y the hell would palm put such a great phone on such a terriable network

[jaibobs108]

hey, does anyone know when the pre plus will be coming to UK O2?

[Editor02Channel]

Yeah. I wanna know this too. I''m waiting to get the unlocked GSM Palm Pre from Uk's O2 so I can stick this in on my local network in Australia.

[napashqwa]

too bad its with verizon

[rigolin1771]

sprint will be getting a better version of the Pre this year

[clokedbigman]

@napashqwa ya i know im fed up with verizons service

[rigolin1771]

i hate them because they always have to steal every phone thats with other carriers. the cheap basterds cant come up with their own flagship phone. and im sorry but the Droid phone they have is total garbage to me

[rayjones09]

Agreed

[maddsri]

verizon doesn't "steal" phones you silly sheep. they just refuse to overpay for them. they are in a position as well now that they will never have to. they always emphasized a strong network over shiny phones b/c their business strategy assumed the average customer wanted good customer service and network service and phone service. not a shitty customer service, a shitty network, and completely outdated phones. now that they are cash-rich, expect the phones to be just as good as others.

[iDiggMGL]

Verizon's customer support is far from expectable. All they do is throw you around like every other phone company. In fact, I've had better customer support from at&t, than Verizon. If anybody has had a problem with V-Cast, they'd know what I mean. I was on the phone for 6 hours trying to fix a simple problem, the eventually just gave me a new phone, as a quick lazy fix. And, the same problems quickly re-occured.

[maddsri]

@iDiggMGL

youre' right. verizon customer service is pretty shitty. in fact, i don't know what changed. but all these companies are the future of fascism. and i plan on going to a much smaller cell phone company that will remain free from this two(!) - party "democracy."

[maddsri]

@rigolin

another thing is that palm completely messed up by NOT debuting their next gen of phones on the strongest network with the largest customer-base. especially for a company that put the entire company's future on this one product. for such a legendary company, this is really bad. now they'll watch Motorola with their new CEO (some indian engineer, not a white plutocrat anymore) and their new Droid become what palm could have been. but fortunately palm has you... get a life.

[EDHBlvd]

It was nice to have the Pre long before Verizon had it. Also I like that I am paying way less per month with Sprint's cheaper plans. Though I have to admit I am jealous of the Plus. Seems like a serious upgrade (though the orange button loss is kind of lame). Hopefully more WebOS devices will be coming down the road.

[WebOSJunkie]

that it is awesome! yeah 13 is definitely enough especially when one of them is NFSU. But still 50 cards and you still hadn't maxed out; that's pretty beastly

[crachowcra]

when will pre plus gsm version launch in asia.....

[carmencrishnaya]

Just curious,

can someone tell me how to get pre-ware onto my palm pre plus? I just got it friday and I saw there was an option to get a virtual keyboard

[deebrown20]

I cant wait to see the next iteration of web OS on Sprint. Hopefully it will be in a horizontal form factor. (concerning keypad)

[Theaudiking]

@Nevanator7 I doubt that sprint will get the pre plus because the original pre didnt sell as good as palm wanted it to :( And i have a sprint pre and i got 25 apps open on it!!!

[rigolin1771]

@Theaudiking.... Sprint is getting an updated version of the Pre sometime this year. It will be the Pre 4G

[xXducksayXx]

will it be better than the HTC Legend that is coming out for sprint in march?

[rigolin1771]

I havent had the chance to use a phone that is running the Android OS so I honestly dont know. Ive had my Pre for a while and the WebOS platform is really solid. I chose the Pre over the HTC Touch Pro 2 mainly cause Windows Mobile phones are really slow. Lets wait and see how good the HTC Legend will be.

[Nevanator7]

does anyone know if sprint will get the palm pre plus?

[ericmmontes]

honestly who cares if it has that much apps at a time. im pretty sure nobody would have that much open unless they want there phone dead in about an hour. also compare the pre to the plus with the same software updates moron!

[jsolow]

He made a performance review, therefore opening up all of those applications showed us all the performance of the Palm Pre Plus. If you don't like it, don't watch the vids!

[cinagirl5]

some thinq is wronq wit your palm pre because my palm pre can hold more then 13 cards it can hold 29 cards so your shit needs tuh qhet checked out or fixed

[pavy415]

The palm pre plus is using the 1.4 version but palm pre is using 1.3.1 not the same version compare both phones after the pre has 1.4!

[JoWhKeJo]

is the build quality the same? do the newer original pre's have better build quality? I want to know if the bad buid quality seems exaggerated to me just because people with the good ones have no need to comment on the internet therfore nearly all the comments is see are complaints lol.

[currystubbs123]

honestly yeah i would be cool to be able to open 50 apps at the same time but when the fuck do you ever need to have 50 different apps open

[kopret]

I would try an unlocked Pre Plus on Sprint.

[ryanortiz59]

i have the palm pre, and i would not trade it for the palm plus because my friend has one and he says the palm plus is not a good phone and he would rather have mine.

[skittleschocolate]

when did he get it?

[ryanortiz59]

couple weeks ago

[skittleschocolate]

it was released exclusively to verizon 3 days ago.

[rigolin1771]

the Pre Plus is actually way better then the original Pre. what makes the Pre Plus look bad is the fact that fucking verizon has is. it would be better on Sprint. Sprint will be getting a new Pre sometime this year and it will be better then the original and the Pre Plus!

[jmcco003]

rigolin1771

Can you tell me more about this new pre for sprint and more about when it will arrive? What is it called, will it cost a lot more... ?

Thanks

[rayjones09]

Where did u get this information from?

[rawkfist208]

I love my Pre, but I would love to get a Pre Plus. I'm not switching to Verizon, though, so I guess I won't get it.

[rigolin1771]

just wait for later on this year. sprint is getting a newer more powerful Pre

[BambooScar]

Each app takes a certain amount of memory. Some are larger than others but I wish I could get even 5 apps up on my Sprint Pre. :(

[BambooScar]

13 apps?! Im on my 2nd pre just ordered my 3rd one cuz the screen went out on me and i remember not even being able to open 1 just last week lol, i mean after i restarted the phone it was a bit better but still! Not supposed to happen!

[bwillwall]

holy crap the difference is 13 vs 50+

[Theaudiking]

Will sprint get the 1.4 update in february?

[rigolin1771]

yes, sometime near the end of february

[GreenGiantEly]

anyone know the music at the end?

[LiLljbball98]

u know whats not fair. sprint works so hard to get the pre and now that verizon has it more people is going to switch to verizon. But the best carrier rated right now is verizon

[DavidJasonSoto]

Why would you get this phone? this is garbage

[Nicolet918]

I like the phone, but I still have my palm centro and it has video...I think that they should add video this phone besides that its a tired version of the iphone.

[JoWhKeJo]

@Nicolet918 OH the iphone that can't multi task, i thought you were on about some phone that cooould multi task as you said "tired version" oh well my mistake. It must be fun though just about being able to listen to music while browsing the web... :)

[imapcstephen]

I had the original pre...like right after it came out and I ended up returning it because the battery life sucked....

So is the battery life any better in this new one??

[rigolin1771]

nope! the Pre Plus is more powerful then the original so its going to use more battery

[kbudi92]

this is the most advanced mobile os on any phone

and this is coming from an iphone 3GS user

[bwillwall]

in 2 days that will change

[kbudi92]

fuckk yaa i hope so!

[rigolin1771]

finally! an iPhone fanboy that realizes the truth!

[rmbrown09]

@mcqlancer23 is for fanboys

[bison225]

i have something to say. i have a palm pre and wen i was waching this review i realize that the app on my wen up to 21 and his only went up to 13.
