This phone is incredible for business and pleasure. The web browsing is outstanding... Camera incredible for a phone. The keyboard is great and Synergy is simply off the hook.
I work for Sprint advance tech support. Ths is a good phone it really does not have sw issues. And if it did it has a program built within that wil fix it self. So we never really get calls on it.

The way you zoom copied the iphone's. I'd much rather have an HTC Mogul than this ugly phone. Curves all around? that's a pretty crappy design. The first thing i said when i saw the Pre was "That looks so gay". I'm also getting sick of the whole full touch screen trend. I cringe every time i see a younger person with a smartphone like this or a windows smartphone because it's new and it has a touch screen and full keyboard. They have absolutely no use for it other than texting.
alright first of all chill out. now .. yeah i hate it too when everyone gets touch screen phones cause its touch screen when the phone sucks or is impossible to use because of all of the lag.
A smart company will incorporate all the popular different features of various phones out there into one device. its more like to appeal to a broader market and just be an all around better product. example: the palm pre has similar touch screen features like the iphone, similar multi task features like the blackberry, and similar tactile slide out keyboard like the google phone, as well as apps, which all three of those phones have. now that's smart. as for the phone looking "gay", grow up.
why does the screen turn black when i slide open the phone is annoying to have a brand new phone with defects right out of the box!!!!! fuck i wish i had my iphone 3g still

sorry buddy nothing compares to an iphone...iphones the original touchscreen smartphone...the palms "app catalog" is nothing compared to itunes app store...i have tons of cool free apps on my iphone...plus the new iphone has 32gb of memory and is only 299$ beat tht palm...shot for 199 u can get a 16gb i phone 3gs with all the new software and high speed and tethering capabilities...this is just a big hype...nothing can beat an iphone...its impossible
dude face it iphone sucks it always has dropped calls you cant record video or send pictures also its carrier sucks i had it for a month and i had at least 130 dropped calls wen it goes to a different carrier in 2011 it could be better though
not to mention ATT is way more expensive than sprint. i did a price comparison between all the major carriers and ATT was the most expensive, with T-Mobile and Sprint as the two least expensive. Verizon was kind of average. I've messed around with the iphone on several ocassions and just coulnd't get into it. even my blackberry pearl 8100 can multi-task, which even the newest iPhone cannot do to this date. also the iphone is too big, and the on screen qwerty was aweful to use.
Who cares if it's the "iPhone killer" or not? If you like the iPhone, then go with that... if you like the Pre, then go with that... it's not some battle-to-the-death of cell phones. Why are you wasting your time bashing either of them online, anyway? Do someting constructive with your time... go read a book.
They may have a few apple programmers at Palm, but they definitely didn't acquire the art of the presentation! That was brutal to watch! The phone is awesome and I could barely watch the video.
His Thumb covers 4 to 5 buttons!!!! the keyboard is small.
the screen is also small. i like that you can have your 'cards' open but if you want to close them you have to close them all one at a time... and the gestures have to start at the bottom..
it's only 8 gigs??...
the New iPhone is 32 gigs!!!!
the iPhone has more useful stock applications and Free ones too!!! i still think the iPhone is a better choice..
But,.... this phone is very Sleek Slick Sick wit it!!!
This phone looks great! a real iphone contender! Not like LG or Samsungs attempts! Parts of the OS on the pre look slow, EG when he is looking through contacts and emails the phone lags? I am hoping the processor is fast enough? I do wish there was NO keyboard? Alot of companies have proven that the solid keyboard is no faster and looks cheap. Other than this one of the best phones on the market!
i love my htc touch but i found my new phone......this phone is sick....better than all the other touch screens out there, and then real deal maker is that touch stone charger.
My puppy started to run out of the yard when i was outside so i put my phone in a chair, cought him, and went inside.
I forgot my phone was outside and it rained... my centro still works, but the touchscreen is SHOT. Im kinda upset because my plan is on for another year and 3 months. So im saving up the money to but this phone. Hopefully anyway. Lol.
i am so happy its gonna be for sprint it pisses me off everytime sprint gets a fone alltel stills it like the rumor alltel made the scoop and sprint was the only network that was supost to have the instinct supost to be the iphone killer then alltel got the instinct now the rumor 2 alltel got another fone just renamed it i hope they dont still this phone sprint finaly gets something good and worth buying hope alltel doesnt get it but other wise im so getting this fone for my bday lol
I weep for the future when someone can discuss wireless networks but can't use a single period in an entire post. Forget about basic grammar and spelling. How about a simple period for crying out loud?! Man, how lazy can one get?
One thing I would like to point out is that while AT&T's 3g network is a little faster. Sprint's 3g network is nearly 2x bigger and their upgrade to 4g WiMax is already under way with 100 million people getting it by the end of 2009. While AT&T's 4g service isn't due till 2011 and their is only one whole LTE tower in the world currently. A few thing's to think about for the future.
Hmm.... I need a new phone. BADLY! haha. The whole front side of my phone is jacked up! the mini display is like aztec writing or somthing. and my camera on it stopped working a few weeks after I got it.And no. i did not drop it... Anyway, might get it as long as it doesn't get frozen or something weird like that. Pretty cool phone if you ask me though. By the way, hug a tree!!!! and ☮ peace out! ☮ ツ
i'm somewhat confused with this phone. i've been watching alot of videos about this phone, and when some of the demo(ers) are demoing the phone, they slide their finger along the quick launch bar, to launch one of the quick launch apps, is that how it must be done, or could you simply tap on one? is it optional? i think it looks nicer if you have to slide it up (: that has a sexy android quality to it.
This is probably going to be a stupid question but oh well, is it possible to upload my dates from ical onto the calendar for the Pre? I have a mac but I'm on the Sprint network and I use my ical for EVERYTHING. I know that it probably doesn't (considering it's supposed to be the "iphone killer") but I'm hoping that it possibly can?
Either way, it seems like a pretty sexy phone to me & I plan on getting it. =]
ok now i cant really say anything about the pre but from my experience palm really doesn't put much thought into there phones. and this advertisement sucks. this phone does look like it has promise though
The looks, the speed, its simple, and not a bad price! I've played around with my friends' iPhones, and I just think their too complex-video game console-like. Not only is the Pre great at acting as a computer, but its kicks butt as a phone, too!
I'm totally buying the Pre when it comes out...if there's not a shortage.
How is the media player, as in; is the music quality good on headphones? Are the headphones that come with it crappy; I dont want to go buy $40 headphones to hear good music. I want to buy this because of mainly portable music, so it is imperative that I aquire this information.
Stock headphones with just about any device are never as good as higher quality third party headphones. You spend a little bit more on them but have always proven to be worth it. I'm sure the media player on this phone is comparable to the iPhone and others out there.
I agree, any type of headphone that comes with a phone sucks. Even the earbuds that come with the iPods and iPhone...they are terrible and don't fit your ear very well. There's way too much outside sound coming into your ear when you listen to music. Much better to invest in a good pair of earbuds if you're a more avid music lover.
And yet, in their short sightedness, they didn't physically put a PTT button -- or anything that could stand in for one, like a shutter button -- on the phone.
Cellphone product architects just leave me breathless in their stupidity. Absolutely breathless.
Doesnt look all that great im happy with my samsung upstage phone .... and Ive never had to change a battery ever on a cellphone .... Who does that? Isnt that what they charger is for lmao
Ive never in my life had a problem with having to change a battery out in my phone. Ive had 6 phones over the last 10 years and its never been an issue. If you might need to change a battery in the phone thats a red flag right there that the phone isnt that great. Im sure its a cool phone ,dont get me wrong but if the battery cannot last through a 2 year contract it isnt worth buying.
That isn't a red flag...but it is a benefit...a lot of users of the iphone complained about this. When you use a lithium battery over the years the battery holds less and less charge. If you have not experienced this with phones, then you are very lucky, but you MAY have experienced this with a laptop if you own one. Also, this is a multifunction device, hence it requires a lot of power as opposed to other simple phones.
almost every phone you can change the battery, so then almost every phone is not worth buying. People with the iphone complain because they cant change the battery. Any phne battery gets worse over the years.
Sprint's phones have suuuuucked for so long, I'm glad to see this one coming out. I've almost switched providers. My current phone is junk and I'm going to upgrade.
HTC's suck. Constant brain fart with the windows software. I loved my centro, but it didn't have GPS capability. This adresses that and much much more. I have always loved the funtionality of palm os over anything else. I hope it has instant notification of emails when they come in, like my curve does. That's a big one for me. I hate to have to "send/recieve".
Its not an unlocked version , Its just an off contract pre over Sprint.
"he $549 contract free price is of course only off contract and not an unlocked Palm Pre, so no chance of going with any other carrier. No doubt people will opt for the $199 with 2 year contract though." from phonesreviews
as a iphone user this phones does look bad ass. anything better then windows mobile devices. i totally gave up on palm until this phone was announced. with that being said if youre deciding between a iphone and a palm pre i will wait. because wwdc conference starts two days after this phone launch and there gonna introducing the new iphone and its new hardware and software. so ill just wait to see what iphone has to offer when they announce there new 3.0 software
for all my fellow sprint users.. all i can say is.. WERE BACKKKKK!!!!! goodnight Iphone, goodnight G1... ( htc touch pro 2 looks hot too, but i need this PRE )
i think apple is making the iphone 3g pro what has a keyboard and a better camera and a all the thins it should of had since the beginning such as copy and paste and all that great stuf . but if this is not true i ll definitely get the pre
I hate the secrecy surrounded with this phone I think testing has gone on long enough, can't they just release it now? I've never been so interested in a phone before so I'm amazed this one caught my attention. Especially since it's a touch screen I never been a fan of touch screen smudges, yuck. I'll get a protective screen for this though.
Is it worth it to get the first batch? I don't want to get stuck with any glitches it may have. I generally wait for the next batch to come out.
fuck the Apple App Phone I need a grown mans Smart phone with proper media capabilitys and it really looks like the hit that shit dead on, good job palm
Hey, dont let some dickhead sales clerk tell you what to do! You know that your generation has used more bandwidth than ever before in human history since the inception of the telephone? That's nucking futs! Just take good care of whatever phone you do decide to get. Those things can last for years in good to great shape.
I agree with jamanaha if it fits everything you're looking for then it's yours it's comes with a manual as well so no big. Again the young generation we're in picks up technology like nothing, it's in our blood lol.
You'll be fine and if anything just go to the Sprint store when it comes out (whenever that is) and play around with it to see if you really like it. Sounds like the sales rep thought of you as an unintelligent young man, what a prick for sure.
yeah it is. my brother has it and all it's good for is downloading wierd app-ish stuff off the internet - plus the touch screen sucks and its really slow. go with the pre.
The Palm Pre may not "Kill" the iphone...but it will reduce the iphone to a ipod that plays games w/apps lol.All is not lost iphone fans,Long live the the new King Sprint Palm Pre!
funny, because the iPhone is the only reason that the Pre exists. hmm...why does the pre user interface look so familiar...i wonder.
Its funny how every phone has to be an "iPhone killer" and not the other way around, wonder why that is. The Pre will barely do anything to the iPhone, the same way all the other "iPhone killers" were supposed to steal Apples thunder.
Actually it's the other way around. If you look at Palm's old phones, those icons at the bottom of the iphone look very similar to the buttons found on the bottom of the devices. All Apple did was make the buttons part of the touch screen. Palm already had touch screen phones long before the iPhone came around.
The icons found at the bottom of the pre should be easily recognized by previous or current owners of old Palm phones. So who is copying who?
Video needs to be integrated in the phone at launch time, and not as an afterthought. I've been of this opinion for a long time--from owning BlackBerrys, one Treo 650 (which came with video out-of-the-box--and that venerable pda camera is still sharp and crisp as it ever was!), and various Motorola flip phones.
All of these have one thing in common: They All Have Video! Out-of-the-Box!
Nokia/Symbian understand this with 2 cams, one for pics, the other for in-call vids.
UUH First imma girl and secound becuz me and my friends take pictures on our camera fones or videos of us geekin wen were hanging out. What Kinda of dirty mind do u have???
Supposed to be around the 17th of May from the scuddlebutt..they want to beat the 3.0 release of I phone...god bless em. This phone will be around 400 bucks but worth every nickle.
Yeah yeah yeah, I've had enough hype on the product, I want the announcement that it's available. I'm getting a little impatient and am tempted to switch to at&t and get an I-phone if it doesn't come out soon...
i work for Sprint and we have not been told any official date as of yet. our next launch is 5/10 and i expect that the pre will come shortly after that. i'm personally waiting for this phone myself. been buggin my area rep for months now. lol
what is the best option for "getting in the queue" for this phone? Should I be taking my local Sprint rep out to lunch? Or trying to find a product manager in KC???
there is an option on the sprint website to be informed by email when the phone is available. that is the list that they first get to and as long as you jump on it, you should be able to order the device before it actually hits stores.
i read somewhere that they were about to start training sprint workers on how to use the phone before the official release so they'll know how to use it when the big day comes.have they told you anything like that?
not yet. i know that our store has two live demos coming in maybe two days before launch, but nothing has been laid in stone as of yet. because of the high volume of orders they are expecting, sprint is more or less trying to give palm the opportunity to have as much stock as possible. palm has all but finished any glitches on the device. its been in the hands of enough techies to have encountered any error as far as operation is concerned. the only thing that i am unsure of is the battery life.
I really love the phone, I just wish people would quite down about sprint. Every network has their problems, if it came to AT&T people would talk, if it came to verizon people would talk. Sprints network is actually pretty good and is getting better. The same with any other network. Sprint is actually faster than most if not all others out there. Really I say if the phone is not coming to your network pipe down and wait for it.
I like what I see but I wish it wasn't just for Sprint. Its too bad that here in America phonesare tied to one carrier. I know you can unlock phones but you shouldn't have to.
tho' this fone is better than the iPhone (no doubt), Steve Jobs gives a better demo of a product than this guy could ever hope to...can't think of a way to finish my sentece..haha^^
Looking for that all elusive release date. The rumors are driving me nuts although I suspect that without and inside Sprint connections that it will be hard to get a Pre when the first shipment arrives at my local store. (I'm wondering if online orders will be handled any different?)
Definitely outsmarts the iphone and take UI to a totally new level...can't wait, just wish sprint would give us a less vague release date (first half of '09...way to vague) at least give us what month! Cant Wait!
I have one, ,love it, love the touchstone, I laugh at my Sons new yapple thingy

How is the media player, as in; is the music quality good on headphones? Are the headphones that come with it crappy; I dont want to go buy $40 headphones to hear good music. I want to buy this because of mainly portable music, so it is imperative that I aquire this information.
bugzbunny109 2 years ago
Stock headphones with just about any device are never as good as higher quality third party headphones. You spend a little bit more on them but have always proven to be worth it. I'm sure the media player on this phone is comparable to the iPhone and others out there.
ChrisXMetal 2 years ago
I agree, any type of headphone that comes with a phone sucks. Even the earbuds that come with the iPods and iPhone...they are terrible and don't fit your ear very well. There's way too much outside sound coming into your ear when you listen to music. Much better to invest in a good pair of earbuds if you're a more avid music lover.

And yet, in their short sightedness, they didn't physically put a PTT button -- or anything that could stand in for one, like a shutter button -- on the phone.
Cellphone product architects just leave me breathless in their stupidity. Absolutely breathless.

Doesnt look all that great im happy with my samsung upstage phone .... and Ive never had to change a battery ever on a cellphone .... Who does that? Isnt that what they charger is for lmao
CheesyCheetah 2 years ago
When the battery doesnt work, you replace it.
lovetv2013 2 years ago
Ive never in my life had a problem with having to change a battery out in my phone. Ive had 6 phones over the last 10 years and its never been an issue. If you might need to change a battery in the phone thats a red flag right there that the phone isnt that great. Im sure its a cool phone ,dont get me wrong but if the battery cannot last through a 2 year contract it isnt worth buying.
CheesyCheetah 2 years ago
That isn't a red flag...but it is a benefit...a lot of users of the iphone complained about this. When you use a lithium battery over the years the battery holds less and less charge. If you have not experienced this with phones, then you are very lucky, but you MAY have experienced this with a laptop if you own one. Also, this is a multifunction device, hence it requires a lot of power as opposed to other simple phones.
mask667 2 years ago
almost every phone you can change the battery, so then almost every phone is not worth buying. People with the iphone complain because they cant change the battery. Any phne battery gets worse over the years.

HTC's suck. Constant brain fart with the windows software. I loved my centro, but it didn't have GPS capability. This adresses that and much much more. I have always loved the funtionality of palm os over anything else. I hope it has instant notification of emails when they come in, like my curve does. That's a big one for me. I hate to have to "send/recieve".

Its not an unlocked version , Its just an off contract pre over Sprint.
"he $549 contract free price is of course only off contract and not an unlocked Palm Pre, so no chance of going with any other carrier. No doubt people will opt for the $199 with 2 year contract though." from phonesreviews

I hate the secrecy surrounded with this phone I think testing has gone on long enough, can't they just release it now? I've never been so interested in a phone before so I'm amazed this one caught my attention. Especially since it's a touch screen I never been a fan of touch screen smudges, yuck. I'll get a protective screen for this though.
Is it worth it to get the first batch? I don't want to get stuck with any glitches it may have. I generally wait for the next batch to come out.

Hey, dont let some dickhead sales clerk tell you what to do! You know that your generation has used more bandwidth than ever before in human history since the inception of the telephone? That's nucking futs! Just take good care of whatever phone you do decide to get. Those things can last for years in good to great shape.
jamanaha 2 years ago 2
I agree with jamanaha if it fits everything you're looking for then it's yours it's comes with a manual as well so no big. Again the young generation we're in picks up technology like nothing, it's in our blood lol.
You'll be fine and if anything just go to the Sprint store when it comes out (whenever that is) and play around with it to see if you really like it. Sounds like the sales rep thought of you as an unintelligent young man, what a prick for sure.
JessPk212 2 years ago
yeah it is. my brother has it and all it's good for is downloading wierd app-ish stuff off the internet - plus the touch screen sucks and its really slow. go with the pre.

funny, because the iPhone is the only reason that the Pre exists. hmm...why does the pre user interface look so familiar...i wonder.
Its funny how every phone has to be an "iPhone killer" and not the other way around, wonder why that is. The Pre will barely do anything to the iPhone, the same way all the other "iPhone killers" were supposed to steal Apples thunder.

bigike62 2 years ago
Actually it's the other way around. If you look at Palm's old phones, those icons at the bottom of the iphone look very similar to the buttons found on the bottom of the devices. All Apple did was make the buttons part of the touch screen. Palm already had touch screen phones long before the iPhone came around.
The icons found at the bottom of the pre should be easily recognized by previous or current owners of old Palm phones. So who is copying who?
That being said, I can pick only one. :(

Video needs to be integrated in the phone at launch time, and not as an afterthought. I've been of this opinion for a long time--from owning BlackBerrys, one Treo 650 (which came with video out-of-the-box--and that venerable pda camera is still sharp and crisp as it ever was!), and various Motorola flip phones.
All of these have one thing in common: They All Have Video! Out-of-the-Box!
Nokia/Symbian understand this with 2 cams, one for pics, the other for in-call vids.

dalex7777 2 years ago
there is an option on the sprint website to be informed by email when the phone is available. that is the list that they first get to and as long as you jump on it, you should be able to order the device before it actually hits stores.

ricohogan9109 2 years ago
i read somewhere that they were about to start training sprint workers on how to use the phone before the official release so they'll know how to use it when the big day comes.have they told you anything like that?
ricohogan9109 2 years ago
not yet. i know that our store has two live demos coming in maybe two days before launch, but nothing has been laid in stone as of yet. because of the high volume of orders they are expecting, sprint is more or less trying to give palm the opportunity to have as much stock as possible. palm has all but finished any glitches on the device. its been in the hands of enough techies to have encountered any error as far as operation is concerned. the only thing that i am unsure of is the battery life.

I really love the phone, I just wish people would quite down about sprint. Every network has their problems, if it came to AT&T people would talk, if it came to verizon people would talk. Sprints network is actually pretty good and is getting better. The same with any other network. Sprint is actually faster than most if not all others out there. Really I say if the phone is not coming to your network pipe down and wait for it.
