If you want a good phone and a good app/gaming device, I suggest you buy Palm Pre for your phone since it can make/receive calls and saves you $1,200 over two years and buy an iPod Touch which is great for running apps. This way you get best of both worlds, and you are still over $900 ahead with two devices as compared to one device on AT&Ts overpriced plan on their spotty 3G network.

Right, I never liked AT&T, a ripoff company that just got lucky selling Apple's iPhones, I would have loved to see iPhones on Sprint, that was probably the worst choice Steve Jobs made.

jus as a remainder at&t is conducting some form of improvement on it's network that has crumbled it's network capability to it's knees. I compared my friend's 3GS jus recently with my palm pre and the iPhone did not even come close. But when the 3GS came out my pre lost couple of times on wifi but when it came to network comparisons pre was jus outstanding... I live by Rocky Mtns in CO btw!

good stuff, i think people are finally realizing AT&T is crap, it's never been faster than Sprint, every businessmen who travels knows that, that's why they get a Sprint or Verizon broadband on CDMA/REV A network, not GSM, which is slow in America.

Testing a new model Pre to a old version iphone.. good work genius. Now compare iphone 3GS to that palm Pre..

[zedomax]

True, I will have a test soon too but I doubt 3gs is any faster, 3gs is on the exact same network as 3g. Hardware might be better but that doesn't make the network faster.

[directorbryton]

Another thing Palm pre is an open source phone were if you are willing to add or create programs or add what ever os u want to ur phone u can go right ahead so basically get creative with you apps iphone does not allow for people to do things like that to thier phone and besiedes they would loose out on money remember palm pre on the 4g network others are in 3.5 g network hmmm sux!

The palm pre happens to be a very good phone compared to the iPhone. I have a 32gs in white and and the Palm Pre, they both do things the other one can't do. I'm not saying that its an iPhone killer but it can compete with the iphone, and compete very well.
