How much does pandora cost on the Palm Pre plus

@hurley109 Last time I checked it was free.

I am currently a DROID owner. I found an unlocked Pre Plus on eBay for around $70. I will probably be purchasing an LTE device when available next year. Is a Pre worth $70 for the next few months?

[BrantheTechman]

@RandomGuyWeird That's a great value for a Pre Plus. However you might want to wait because the Droid is said to be receiving an update to android 2.2 Froyo soon which is a very big improvement over android 2.1 by improving overall usability. But if you absolutely want Web OS than the Pre Plus is a great buy, especially at that price.

quit talkin about the iphone. if we wanted an iphone we would have at&t and wouldn't be watching a video about verizon phones.

[BrantheTechman]

@dustinjon12 The iphone sets the example for other phones in terms of web browsing, so I used it as a way to compare the two devices.

I just ran the Pandora test on my Pre Plus, and it loaded a lot faster than yours did. Weird. I have to agree with a lot of what you said, the overall package of the Pre Plus is more appealing. The size makes the Pre Plus better for me. I love the Pre. Best phone I've ever owned, and that's coming from a former Iphone 3g customer last year.

How many days of working battery? palm.

A couple of months ago 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 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. If want normal service do anything else except AT&T.

@thetechgeneration you are FAIL

[thetechgeneration]

The palm pre browser is better because it's similar to apple's browser now that is what I call a fanboy

[Stevethepirate8973]

Just some constructive criticism, cut out the filler ums and uhhs, makes the review go a lot smoother, also a little better lighting would help. Other than that good review, keep it up.

There are barely any good apps for the palm pre I used to have a pre plus@Agownsrs2 

[Agownsrs2]

@theandroinvader even if it does, what I meant was that you'll be eating up your memory for apps that you wont even use all the time. Plus, not all are free so you'll be paying a shit-load of money for unnecessary software. Btw, I am well aware of what the Driod can do, well aware of what the iPhone 4 can do, as well as ever single smartphone on the market. I don't need you to brag about your purchase.

[theandroinvader]

@Agownsrs2 it can 8gb internal SD slot!!!! your palm doesnt have that

[Agownsrs2]

@theandroinvader I bet all 30k wont fit on your phone. So why brag about something you wont even use completely? Tsk tsk...

[theandroinvader]

@Agownsrs2 thats great my droid incredible has nearly 30000 free apps
