  • i like this phone. my mom has it. it works really well. i wanted to get on for myself

  • This phone sucks, don't buy it. I bought it a year ago, and he already buggs. ;( The firmware sucks and the battery life.... I can't even manage to 12 hours without charging him!

  • I've had this phone for about a month and a half and even though I like the features on the phone I wouldn't buy it again if I had to decide again.The main reason is the battery life, it 's ridiculous how fast it dies! You have to charge it whenever possible because it won't last the whole day and I'm not exaggerating. Often I don't have my phone on me because I didn't charge it the night before :/ so I would not recommend this phone and I would look into a phone that has decent battery life.

  • RIP

  • Does anyone know if you need a data plan for this?? Please reply!! and if i could get this at a verizon store

  • @CallistaPaige You probably do need one, but the device has been discontinued. (since its considered a smartphone) I would ask Verizon itself

    The Palm Pre 2 has been out for Verizon for a while, and has been discontinued too.

    you probably cannot get either one at the Verizon store, although it should be easy finding one on eBay or Amazon.

  • hm. I'm on AT&T and I got the HP Veer, but it's a buggy mess and it kinda sucks with volume on the speaker, and teh camera blows. Would it be better to return the veer and get the pre plus on AT&T?

  • @Konnerific TBH, I would go with something else unless you REALLY want a Palm OS phone. They are nice but HP gave up on the OS and atm not really sure what updates you will or will not get.

  • @Eeyoreboi Yeah I know, i like WebOS. I have a Windows phone already, but I also want a WebOS device. I'm sure they will still update it. the veer is irritating with all the bugs though.

  • I had this cell phone for only a year before it finally broke! I wou.ld open the keyboard and it wouldn't type! And I was told that it was broken "internally" wtf!

  • batterys bad but i love the phone i had if for a month now

  • Palm pre 2 or this ?

  • @MrMuzzyx Processor and camra is better on pre 2. same ram. pre 2 is basically an upgraded one, but if you have a little more money get pre 2

  • @MrMuzzyx Pre 2

  • is this the first palm pre to come out?

  • @sofywoo1 nope.

  • @MsMetalPrincess95 i luv it i have angry birds and alot off apps but its your opinion

  • Some 1 please help. i have verizon and i have the lg cosmos. i absolutly hate the phone. but my friend used 2 have to palm pre and wants 2 give it 2 me i haave it and i wanna use tht instead of the cosmos please let me know how to switch i dont care about contacts or pictures i just wanna a new phone..

  • does anyone know how the key board is on this phone?? i agree with adamw3893 completely. I am also a high school student and love texting.

  • Want honesty?, Loooooooook at the price its so cheap for that phone those features way more then worth it, iPhone 4 in uk is £399-499 wtf im not buying a second hand car a phone whereas the Palm pre plus from Ebay is £137 in all honesty Palm pre plus for its price, it kills the iPhone

  • u sound like many on 107.5 the q radio statrion no effence

  • *damn*

  • Heyy

  • Is 3 mega pixel good?

  • @biz508 no

    

  • As a former iphone 3G user I believe that Palm Pre Plus is the greatest phone ever made. Best OS and love the shape of the phone and the slider.

    It's too bad though that Palm was the worst marketing company in the history of the world, and literally killed the device with horrific commercials and ads. The sad thing is HP (who bought Palm) is as bad as Palm was. It's too bad because WebOS smokes IOS in usability.

  • it looks like bullshit..its a disaster..!! they should just stop making them completely

  • As a whole... haha

  • Ok, I just got the phone. DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO CHANGE THE LANGUAGE ON THE PHONE. MINE IS IN SPANISH. I KNOW YOU SUPPOSE TO GO INTO AN APP BUT IT IS NOT ON MY HOME SCREEN. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME?!?!

  • @rhuerta1234567890 well u need to flash the devices using the webos doctor its like a hard reset and then you can choose the language, it returns to factory settings

  • This is so cool but I can not decide if I will get this phone or the Palm Pixi Plus lol 

  • plz answer me cuz im gettin' dis fone nxt week n' im wondering if dis fone is a multi touch or not n' wats de different between de palm pre 2 and palm pre plus???

  • these phones r ugly but they r cheap i want one

  • @dominic7978 You sir are a faggot for ever thinking that

  • just ordered it as an upgrade from my blackberry curve! SO EXCITED!!!! ><

  • @mangagrl01 omg i did to thts so wierd i upgraded frm my bb curve to this phone lol im with att wht about u

  • @MyJakill yup att except now i kinda regret having this phone...i want the bb torch lol i mean i light the whole web os thing (have some problems with it) but i dont like the design of the phone..and the keyboard...

  • GRAB`'‵YOUR',‵IPHONE‵◜‵FREE◜.◜

    WWW.MYIPHONEFREE.TK

    

  • and the apps suck.. there is literally nothing lol.. i would get a android phone cuz this is just plain shit..

  • mine sucks so much.. keyboard lags... for it to turn on it takes like 10 minutes and pisses me off.. i sometimes try uploading a video or pic to facebook and it just says "it has encountered a problem" or something for no reason.. waste of money

  • This or Motorola Bravo?

    (I currently have no phone)

  • @Nataboy98 This all the way, its great

  • This or Motorola Bravo?

  • i LOVED the concept of this phone. it was great....but the keyboard died in like 2 days. the keys lagged =/

  • can you text on the touch screen with this, rather than with the keyboard?

  • @likeshshnia it said it like 10 times, idiot

  • @masonboi97 you need to drop your attitude,IDIOT.

  • @MultiBamaboy22 i dont got an attitude, its just that people like you piss me off

  • should i buy this phone r buy the blackberry storm? well the blackberry its kinda expensive but the palm per plus is only 149.99$, help me plze!?

  • Former Iphone 3G customer here. I dropped it the minute the Pre Plus became available. The fact that I could multi task and didn't have to deal with AT&T's crappy service anymore...PRICELESS.

    Bottom line the Pre Plus has been the best phone I've ever had, and Verizon's service has never given me any issues.

    I find it mind blowing how this phone didn't sell millions of units. It has the best form factor, great keyboard, fantastic (if not the best operating system "Web OS"), and great price.

  • This or samsung captivate

  • Hey

    I currently have an iPhone 3G and am looking for a new phone would you recommend this device? x

  • @katteelovesmusicc Pre Plus has been the best phone I've ever owned. I have had it one year now and it is great. HP/Palm is just weeks away from announcing new hardware and revealing Web OS 2.1. If I were you I would wait to see what they are revealing and get one of those new phones. I know several phones are going to be announced, as well as a PalmPad/TouchPad device, and other things. You will love WebOS. It's fantastic.

  • i have this phone

  • can someone give me some advice...

    i want to get this phone, but i have heard things about the battery life...

    how would i manage?

    i am a high school student, very heavy texter, NO email, NO music streaming, very very very little web browsing...

    i have heard things that are bad, but if all i would really use it for is texting and some short calls, could i manage comfortably? tips?

  • @adamw3893 I have the phone, and I believe it has been discontinued. But the battery life is horrible. I cant go more than one day at a time without charging it. Also, it has facebook which is cool but you need to pay a lot more a month to get that and it doesnt come without it.

  • @adamw3893 i do all the same things as you do but im in 8th grade which is middle school. it will last u a full day with what u just described. all u need to do is charge it every night.

  • @adamw3893 inbox me for info

  • @adamw3893 this phone suits you perfectly. buy it.

  • @adamw3893 yeah bro u can infact i also have this but in my case i have got any problem in battery life i hear music texting calling and first of all i hear many music videos for many hours but didnt have any battery problem

  • does the phone now have video recording?

  • @alisoniturra Yes and its very nice quality too! I wish there were a few more options... a zoom would be awesome! but all and all it actually takes better looking videos than my camcorder ( that's 4 years old)

    To the person asking if someone would recommend this over an iphone 3g ANY DAY!! it's sooo much nicer than iphone 3g

  • horrible review...you pompous asshole pick up the phone and play with it...you idiot. worst review ever.

  • It Dosent Record Video ????

  • I purchased Palm Pre Plus from AT&T.

    I was told that the phone can be unlocked for international travel.

    Now I am in Russia, AT&T tells gave me unlock codes. Neither worked. The representative is telling me that the unlock code will be available in several months.

    There will be no refunds or exchanges. I can pretty much stick it.

    If you want the worst service ever, sign with AT&T.

  • could i buy this unlocked and use it with t-mobile?

  • pixi plus or pre plus?

  • ..it looks like it takes a long time to load. i really want that phone but if its going to load everytime..im not getting it

  • @spadlesung Leave it on perhaps?

  • that phone is now old, androids arw hot now

  • @ShytHapp3nzz That's the problem--people always worry about what's "hot now"!

  • @ShytHapp3nzz and? just wait for the palm pre 2 in verizon

  • @ShytHapp3nzz wow really?

    who the fuck cares its amazing....

  • Verizon is offering these for $49.99 with a two-year contract and will throw in the hotspot tethering for free (normally $40.00 a month) as long as you have the phone with them. Good phone, not as fast as the droids but more stable.

  • hey um ya this might sound weird but can you send me eighther that phone or the blackerry torch or anything ya dont want that kinda good cuz i really want a phone with out a contract so plz if u do ill subscribe

  • for anyone who is looking for a great phone and have at&t u shud definately get this i got mine last night for free cuz thats the special that they are running at at&t for a while which is great cuz usually its 150 but if ur looking for a keyboard thats good i'd def. recommend trying it out it takes some gettin use to but other than that GET IT!!

  • this review didnt show me much.

    #thanks4nuttin.

  • this or the motorola backflip?

  • i wish my computer keyboard had auto correct lol

  • Hands down best phone reviewer.

  • I mostly prefer a physical keyboard than virtual one, Bravo Palm Pré

  • I think this is just 50 dollars at verizon now

  • can you guys who have the phone tell me if i should get it?

  • how much is palm pre in sprint??

  • @TheDaniel7310  its costs 149.00 but then you know they always add more to it so it will end up like 179.00

  • @NazHunter Get the HTC Aria.

  • Where I live Altell is switching to AT&T soon. I currenty have the HTC Hero.... Im not very impressed with it. I have 3 choices for phones, Blackberry Curve 9300, HTC Aria, or the Palm Pre Plus. I have larger thumbs then most >< Which phone do you guys suggest? (I text alot, dont call very much)

  • @NazHunter I also have alltel service that will also change to at&t and i have a black berry curve 8530 and i have the same choices and i a think the HTC ARIA is the best

  • can someone help me i just got a palm pre plus and now when i go to see the photos i have took it says you must eject the device before using photos. sorry if its a dumb question but can someone tell me what that means and what to do to fix this

  • i can decide which phone to get this phone or the samsung captivate...the only thing i dont like about this phone is the megapixels...im leaning more towards the captivate....any help? suggestions?

  • @lecie03 quite honestly, he difference in megapixels will not make a difference unless you want to print big (like 16x20) prints of your pictures. Otherwise, it is preference. I would prefer the pre, since its multi-task capability is so great. Best of luck.

  • Why does the palm pre plus screen looks so good if it only has a 320x480 HVGA resolution???

  • @giantiger12 because of the screen size ;)

  • i thought the pre had video now. how old is this video?

  • Can anyone recommend a phone that has a very good keyboard for fast typing/texting? Thanks :)

  • Every time somebody on at&t signs on internet, somebody's call drops! :D 

  • I have a BlackBerry Bold 9560, should I trade for this?

  • got the phone yesterday and i love it!

  • the call quality is actually really clear..the battery life is my concern. thats only if ur using all the nice apps on it lol..other than that, pretty good phone!

  • y is it that people complain about webOS or android not changing a year later but iphone shit was dated when it came out and people praise it... its annoying!! webOS is hands down a great UI. may not have the apps of android or iphone but ther r there and not a crap load of the same things

  • Does it record now?

  • @glwnthedark yes it does... wanna learn about it? go to precentral

  • DOOO NOT GET THE PALM PREE!!!!!!!! I got it when it came out and iv gone through 3 batteries it freezes all the time and the touch screen randomly stops working the navigation looses signal alll the time and the apps suckkk palm is super unreliable

  • "I could tap that"

  • I'm getting one for free from Palm!

  • @johnhmeyer123 how?

  • to all those who say this phone sux its because u have no idea how to use it or its capabilities. my phone is running on a 1 g processor(thanks to "homebrew" and "webos internals." my phone smokes any other phone out there!

  • WHO IS UR FAVOITE BASKETBALL PLAYER kobe?

    

  • Does it have a querty keyboard on the screen too ?

    If yes, does it rotate from portrait to landscape when turning the palm 90 degrees?

  • @The1966man It's actually in the coding of webOS itself, but to enable it, you'll have to use Homebrew.

  • this phone sux no lie !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i might get it for virizon

  • can u make a review of the HTC Imagio?

  • It handles 50 apps at the same time with having its speed reduced, maybe even more. TRY THAT iPHONE! 

  • how much is palm ore olus in USA?

  • this or blackberry torch please jon for lakers tell me. i need help.

  • I need help. I own this phone and I ripped some cd's on to my pc. Then I dragged and dropped them into a music folder I created, but none of the songs show up in my nusic player on the phone. But when I load mp3 files onto it they show up. On palms website it says it supports wav. audio format which is what cd's are. Why wont they show up if its supported?

  • Nevermind I figured it out lmao.

  • I can't find any system preferences menu or anything. I want to change the brightness and some other things. But I can't find it anywhere.

  • Do you have to pay extra money per month for internet? like you do on blackberrys?

  • @commenterbelowisgay if you're with verizon it's $30 extra a month

  • @commenterbelowisgay

    Not know, FREE with Verizon with 2 year contract; it was $40.00 a mo.

  • this is the only phone that i love to hate. im still using this for 4 months and i am still struggling to like it. I upgraded from older phone sony w760i. This phone design is very poor, here's why: 1.) Your ear will easily hit the disconnect button on the screen. 2.) Every function involves 2 or 3 more steps to get it working. 3.) very poor battery life. 4.) Music design player is a joke and very hard to organize your files. 5.) Bluetooth cant send/receive files from other devices. I hate it.

  • Former user of the early Palm devices (Vx, Tungsten E, etc.). Will this phone fit my need for an organizer/phone? I just bought a Droid EVO, and while it's fun, I'm just not sure if it fits my professional needs for addresses, to-do lists, appointment calendars, etc.

  • Is there Yahoo and Windows Live Messenger?

  • Thanks for the review. Too bad your a Fakers fan

  • does this come with a usb cable for syncing w/ the computer.

  • @john2john2john Yeah it does. The charger is a charger and USB cable. It is AWESOME!! But yeah you can use it with the computer

  • @john2john2john YES IT DOES AND THIS PHONE IS GREAT THE ONLY FLAWS IVE FOUND ON THIS PHONE IS JUST KEYBOARD SIZE BUT BESIDES THAT I LOVE THIS PHONE.. SUPER QUICK.. NEVER FREEZES AND THE GRAPHICS PHOR THE GAMES ARE AMAZING

  • I do the mifi with my galaxy s for FREE!!! (Unlimited data)

  • @Degarem  you can do that

  • palm pre plus vs blackberry storm 2 plz help!

  • "If it sucks for making phone calls, it's not gonna be useful to you." And that's why, you bought an iPhone 4!

  • does not even compare to the original droid.

  • Im getting this phone on the 25th:)

  • Was a big fan of Palm, was using Treo650, I really the Pre & Pixi, they are small 2 carry, but not marketed in Asia, when I wrote to local Palm office, there was a response of "we dont know when this will be launched" response, and was waiting for the local Telco's to give the news, no news, so, my Treo 650 after 6 years of use, finally gave up on the telephone part, the other side hear rining, but there is nothing in my screen, with hard heart I switched to iPhone3Gs - it really changed my life

  • i want this but i heard battery life SUCKS...any opinions

  • @mccarter2014 i bought a second battery from ebay for 8 dollars

  • @mccarter2014 Just got the phone the other day...Great phone..but the battery sucks BAD!!!

  • @Sidneyboy321 Does it have a virtual landscape keyboard?

  • @Cinis16 nope, not now anyway

  • lol 7:40 " I can tap that" (:

  • haha tap that

  • @CUBSFIRSTFAN are you freekin serious, im going to get one today. its free!!!??????

  • hotspot is free now :)

  • @CUBSFIRSTFAN ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME???!!!! IM GETTING THIS AUGUST SEVENTH!!!! ITS FREE?!?!

  • I wonder if it is better to buy this from att or verizon. I heard its cheaper if you buy it from verizon. Why is that??

  • @somelikepoetry Because compared to other phone on Verizon, this one doesn't quite match up. On AT&T.... well thats another story.

  • @somelikepoetry It's actually free from verizon and att right now.

  • I am thinking of buying a unlocked palm pre plus but I live in a country(hungary) where the app store is not suported, does anyone know if I still can install apps on it or not? Thnx

  • My sister is a big apple fan,she owns a the newer ipod(not Iphone),but i am getting this phone and she thinks it's ugly but it looks like the best phone in the world to me so I think we are going to be fighting over with one is better.(Go palm pre plus:D)

  • wtf iTunes? who'd want to tie themselves down with that kind of bs? 'and apple would put in a fix to prevent it from happening'... just one more reason i hate apple's whole business idea. why are they still in business if they treat customers and competition the same: like shit. they progress only through overhyping their overpriced and highly restricted products and suing the competition, its disgusting

  • waait? is this phone free, with a contract?? At&T?

  • @metalcoreboy95 its $149.99 with two year contract on AT&T.. also look on the AT&T website.. I was just looking at the phone.

  • I wish you would have showed some of the features on this phone and not just say what you wished it had and what it doesnt have and what you like it about it.... but I am a big fan and keep up the good work :)

  • got rid of my shitty blackberry storm and got this. im a happy man

  • im sorry but its 2010 its ridiculous that it dosent do video

  • @CMSpida It's hard hardware updates and now it does do video.

  • I have the iPhone 3G.

    Is this phone good to get as my next phone? (:

  • @HORSEcabbage9048 i have the palm pre plus it is an amazing phone maybe not as fast as the iphone when it comes to the internet but it is an amazing phone the multi tasking is crazy good and no matter what anyone says the touchscreen is very good
