he's texting much faster than i can on that dam keyboard...thatsz the only thing i hate about this phone...i might buy it for my girlfrand :) im gettin the hero
wow so the guy does a helpful comparison just to show the speed against a few popular phones at the moment and you iphone nuts go crazy because its not the 3gs the video is simply a comparison in no way shape or form to say that its better than the iphone just demonstrating the new webkit browser
U can't vs the pre to the iPhone 3g that's about a year old technology for the iPhone..get the iPhone 3gs then it would b fair because the palm pre and iPhone 3gs came out about the same time..
the g1 dosent close all the tabs i have one and and iphone + storm i was thinking about the pre but it dies too fast g1 for nice qwerty iphone for games and storm for the unmatchable email service
lets wait a year and take this palm pre and put it up against the phones of tomorow. This is a dumb test. The iPhone 3gs in a week would be a fair test. If it's faster than that iPhone 3gs then it is officialy crowned the champ for 2009. iPhone was best of 2008. So sorry folks try again
This video is comparing the 2009 model of the Pre against the 2008 models from T-Mobile and Apple. The Pre is coming with a new generation of ARM CPUs that will also be included in a lot of other smartphones this year. Once the new iPhone is released next week with twice the RAM and CPU speed we will most likely see that the iPhone takes back the perfomance crown. Even the 2008 iPhone will see a boost through a OS upgrade that is scheduled for 17 Jun.
People need to understand that the Iphone is 90% a media phone, thats its sole cause. The Pre is a TRUE smartphone that just happens to do everything else well. Two different phones, two different causes. But from owning an iphone which i no longer have, I'll take a smartphone with media capabilities any day over an iphone.
The pres screen is so tiny compared to the iphones, I would never be able to use such a tiny screen for webbrowsing and multitouch. I´m a pre owner, and trust me if you are considiring the pre, think twice, because its really annoying to just have 8 gigs of storage, and it doesn´t feel like a high quality product (feels to plasticy). Next phone for me is the next iphone.
Went into a sprint store today and got jerked around by the store rep about people have been telling him that they will be camped out in front of the store all night. If I go into the store in the morning at 8 am when they open and they tell me that they dont have the phone then Im gonna come back home buy a unlocked blackberry storm and go over to tmobile. Sprint is a joke for even being a company.
there's no such thing as an iPhone killer. iPhone revolutionized the market. the iphone will not die. iPhone killer is a stupid concept. This phone is clearly better than the current iPhone. If you weren't such a fragile fanboy you'd see it. I'm an iPhone user and I used the pre at best buy and the the pre is way better than the iPhone. On top of all that it has a real keyboard.
Palm doesn't have the media shedding a single tear each time they do something. Apple's a media darling and every move they make is covered. They also have genius marketing something Palm can't afford. You wont see lines for the Pre because you haven't even seen on commercial dedicated exclusively to the pre. There hasnt been a massive media blitz. You know what there has been? A TON OF GLOWING REVIEWS AND CRITICAL ACCLAIM.
First off I don't own an iPhone, and I am not a fanboy I don't see the point in getting emotionally attached to a software/hardware company. Also, at the D7 conference Palm said themselves "the Pre eats iPhones for breakfast" (sounds like they're touting it as an iPhone killer to me). Secondly my original statement just said "i like how it takes him more than once to touch on the screen to open an app" because this isn't the first video I've seen of it and it always has that problem.
like i said, there's no such thing as an iPhone killer. the thought of a phone coming along and making the iPhone obsolete is ridiculous. my only point is that there are better phones and the pre is one of them. i personally used it and the screen was more responsive than the glass on the iPhone and the ripple effect provided great haptic feedback. im not emotionally attached to any device i just prefer it people not bring up baseless claims against anything really.
what the hell are you talking about? i bet your stuck in an ATT contract right now. The man is clearly pointing at somethings and pressing on others. I suggest you get your eyes checked or just stop being such a fan boy.
yo you forgot the touch pro1 or 2 in ur little test...so i did my own test using the touch pro with skyfire web broswer (because it goes to real websites like the pre & iphone) and using wifi and guess what? it can keep up with the pre and always was faster than the iphone and g1. HA!
i talked to the sprint guy at my local store, and he told me that there are going to have 67 pre's. but about 6 would go to the people that work there so he said there be about 60 pre's at launch day.
NO CAMPING OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :]]]]]]]]]]]
Your stats are wrong. As of today there are 9,000 games and 39,000 other apps available in the iPhone store. So just 20 % are games, 80 % other things.
Admittedly the pre does look awesome and absolutely is the first real competition for the iPhone (and is actually better than the iPhone in a lot ways) but for a one-year old phone, the iPhone stacks up very well against a brand new product. I'd like to see this comparison with the new iPhone when it's released
Actually, the iPhone does keep background tabs open as long as it can. However, when memory runs low MobileSafari closes all tabs but the active one. Hopefully Apple will add more memory to the rumored new iPhone.

Over half of those "applications" are stupid little games. They barely even qualify as real applications.
And besides, how many applications did the iPhone have when it first came out? Yeah, that's what I thought.
