Palm pre

PowerON · 01-08-2009, 02:35 PM

*gasp* I want it.

Live from Palm's CES press conference - Engadget

I'm glad I await for something new as I thought I would get iPhone.

It look like whole touchscreen phone but it come with surprise physical keyboard like magic (slide). fap fap fap fap fap

PowerON · 01-08-2009, 02:55 PM

oh shit! it come with wireless charger. It's so AMAZING!

PowerON · 01-08-2009, 04:51 PM

It would be the best mobile ever... since iPhone.

Take that, blackberry!

Wireless charger is sold separately, but I agree, it's cool. There's plenty good looking about this device, but A few questions have been raised on TreoCentral that have good points. For example, the calendar pulls off of several sources (Facebook, Google calendar, etc.). What happens if you aren't on line? Will the data still be there?

I'm hoping it'll do what the iPhone allows, and by using the voice and web at the same time, I'll be able to use Sprint's WebCapTel service. That'll be a major selling point for whatever my next phone is.

LilCueballRulez · 01-11-2009, 01:04 PM

How many far away from wireless charging for Palm Pre? Like If i bring Palm Pre wit me go to Mall and wireless will electric send Palm Pre to gain more battery in it while wireless charging in the house??

***VamPyroX*** · 01-11-2009, 02:56 PM

Ah... interesting!

TechBill · 01-11-2009, 08:28 PM

Great phone and great phone design but that sad they went with Sprint.

It indeed a very awesome phone and I would have gotten it for sure if they went with AT&T. I have very bad experience with Sprint so I am hesisate to go back with them again and my friend is currently with Sprint already having a diffcult time as well too with his Blackberry and billing issues and it haven't stopped since over a year now.

It wouldn't be always CDMA, there is GRPS available to get one.

Not interest in Palm, they are always sticking on Sprint at first place, also Sprint sucks.

PowerON · 01-14-2009, 11:53 AM

webOS sure look so nice. It make me wonder if I'm able to transfer from my data on my current palm OS 5 to new OS? eek.

PowerON · 06-08-2009, 10:07 AM

I went to Sprint store and play around on Palm Pre.

I find it finest I ever seen. I would love to get one with Sprint Relay when it is available.

Unfortunately, I find disappoint on one thing... The Virbate! It's frickin WEAK!

Chevy57 · 06-08-2009, 11:02 AM

I m not interesting new Palm Pre.

Mayguy · 06-08-2009, 12:13 PM

A friend of ours got one on Saturday, and it seems like he is not happy with it in a way... I'm not sure why, he didn't say... Sounds like he is jsut going to end up giving it to his partner.

The keyboard to me seem awful small compair to my SideKick.

Actual, the keyboard is better compare to Centro. I guess I find it much comfortable...

Wait... isn't he deaf? Not suppose to get one yet until Sprint Relay release for special package instead psend $50+/month.

I got an email from Sprint Relay offer me Palm Pre for 199 but with 100 dollar rebate so it cost 299 pay then get 100 back in mail rebate and monthly is same 29.99

So Sprint Relay already out on their website for Palm Pre offer upgrade.

Yea, I heard about it and thought it is nice. I wish Apple actually came out with iphone with a keyboard, they still didn't. Damn Apple. I'd rather stick with good old AT&T. BTW, I'm using Safari 4 final to browse here.

If you are long lived iPhone owner then you will get used with on screen keyboard.

Not really. I prefer the real keyboard because of the feel of where I'm typing without looking at it. I can type pretty well when looking around or looking at a friend talking to me. You can't feel anything when typing on a screen, it's impossible. You constantly have to look at it to make sure u're not typing in wrong places.

nighthawk700 · 06-09-2009, 05:22 AM

I'm still waiting to see if the Pre will work with WebCapTel, especially like the iPhone where it can be used all on one unit (captions and voice), not two as they suggest for Blackberries and the Centro (one for the captions, one for talking). If Sprint can't do it because of the CDMA issue, maybe if it comes out on AT&T in 2010, it'll work there.

Yup, it's common cons about full touchscreen phone and I wouldn't recommended to you if you need phone with real keyboard.

For me, I got used with touchscreen on iPhone but I had returned in last year because IM service was terrible at this time and now, they are improved because of beejive, that's alot better than AIM and it does support landscape mode, use on screen keyboard on iPhone is far easier and better than BB Storm, I tried BB Storm at Verizon store and dislike it.

I haven't make decision but just wait and see about what's up with upcoming BB, especially BB Tour.

Thank, I saw it. After learn about new iPhone. I made the final decide, I order Palm Pre already. I get $150 instant rebate after being Sprint for over 22 months.

Since Apple Dev claim that there will have accessories support on iPhone OS 3.0 from the port. That sound high chance that there is kind accessories to plug to keyboard and typing. Haha

I can't imagine when cop stop the driver and look at thim. "Whoa! Why are you carry the regular keyboard to typing while driving?!?! I don't see computer or display?"
"Eh, I'm use with iPhone"
"No way!!!"

I'm also a Sprint Relay customer over 22 months. I was told I can only upgrade and that'll cost me $300 after $150 rebate. New customers pay $200. Is that correct?

What if I cancel my Sprint services, how long will I have to wait to be activated as "new" customer?

What happens if I get Pre on line 2 and then close line 1?
