I love my iphone but since when did a little competition hurt anyone]]>Apr 2nd 2009 12:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/second-meet-pre-video-retains-calming-effects-shows-off-third/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/second-meet-pre-video-retains-calming-effects-shows-off-third/
Ha. You serious?

A higher resolution screen on a piece of shit Qualcomm chip that already struggles to push out 640x480 on the existing Touch Pro (even with a custom ROM)?

No headphone jack?

Any device coming out with the Qualcomm chip instantly gets a strong feeling of doubt from me. And I have had quite a bit of experience with the 528MHz chip that the TP2 is getting, and it definetly is a piece of garbage.

HTC dissapointed like no other at their latest releases. They failed to show off a Tegra device, used a chip that everyone hates and has been the anchor of HTC devices lately, and are still making the same stupid mistake of not giving you a headphone jack. Fuck em.]]>Apr 2nd 2009 9:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/second-meet-pre-video-retains-calming-effects-shows-off-third/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/second-meet-pre-video-retains-calming-effects-shows-off-third/
Here's to hoping that the nudge match between the iphone and the pre will be a long and feature-filled one.

I hope it turns into a cage battle to the death! RAWWRRR. lol.

Anyway, the Pre looks pretty sick. I'll have to see what phone to get when my contract expires in 9 months or so.]]>Apr 2nd 2009 1:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/second-meet-pre-video-retains-calming-effects-shows-off-third/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/second-meet-pre-video-retains-calming-effects-shows-off-third/Apr 2nd 2009 1:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/second-meet-pre-video-retains-calming-effects-shows-off-third/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/second-meet-pre-video-retains-calming-effects-shows-off-third/Apr 2nd 2009 10:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/second-meet-pre-video-retains-calming-effects-shows-off-third/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/second-meet-pre-video-retains-calming-effects-shows-off-third/Apr 2nd 2009 1:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/second-meet-pre-video-retains-calming-effects-shows-off-third/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/second-meet-pre-video-retains-calming-effects-shows-off-third/Apr 3rd 2009 12:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/second-meet-pre-video-retains-calming-effects-shows-off-third/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/second-meet-pre-video-retains-calming-effects-shows-off-third/Apr 6th 2009 7:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/second-meet-pre-video-retains-calming-effects-shows-off-third/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/second-meet-pre-video-retains-calming-effects-shows-off-third/

My sister in law visited the other day and she was still running 2.0.

Pandora is great, but you do realize that the iPhone has a built in iPod, right? You can sync your favorite music to it, and play it without having to stream from the net and eat up your battery.]]>Apr 2nd 2009 5:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/second-meet-pre-video-retains-calming-effects-shows-off-third/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/second-meet-pre-video-retains-calming-effects-shows-off-third/
I know preferring limitless music selection and variety over whatever I can fit into 7 some odd gigs of space is probably a completely foreign concept to Apple, but that's just how I roll. I do things my own way, which is why I mod my own tech and build my own pc's instead of just being spoonfed whatever Jobs thinks is good enough for me.

As for battery life, there's thing called a car charger... works awesome. And if that fails, I built myself a MintyBoost for those times when neither a household nor auto outlet are handy. Google it sometime... great little invention. ]]>Apr 2nd 2009 5:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/second-meet-pre-video-retains-calming-effects-shows-off-third/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/second-meet-pre-video-retains-calming-effects-shows-off-third/
1. will it launch before the iPhone?
2. Vodafone or T-Mobile? Vodafone: Hell Yeah, I'm going Pre. T-Mobile: I'm going iPhone.
3. is the iPhone 3.0 version available in 32 gb model? I have a lot of content I want to carry along with me, 8 gb won't cut it.

the first 2 factors will make it a go or a no-go.
3rd one can still be substituted for an iPod Touch 32gb.

can't wait for the summer!]]>Apr 2nd 2009 7:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/second-meet-pre-video-retains-calming-effects-shows-off-third/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/second-meet-pre-video-retains-calming-effects-shows-off-third/
Looks more and more likely to be O2 that gets the pre - which doesn't really make sense to me as they have the iPhone. Guess Telefonica does it again.]]>Apr 2nd 2009 8:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/second-meet-pre-video-retains-calming-effects-shows-off-third/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/second-meet-pre-video-retains-calming-effects-shows-off-third/
I was talking about the Dutch Telecom market (live in the Netherlands), it's either Vodafone (there was a rumor they are in talks with Palm) or T-Mobile over here that'll get the Pre. T-Mobile's coverage is average, Vodafone's is unmatched.

I just want the damn thing to be released already. I was eyeballing the G1 for a while since I use so many of Google services. I would like to have a phone integrated with Google's ecosystem, so the iPhone and Apple's online ecosystem (MobileMe) was never a a good option.

So now I'm waiting for the Pre to be released to see if it really hold up to its promisses. But so far, it looks like a much better device for me.]]>Apr 2nd 2009 10:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/second-meet-pre-video-retains-calming-effects-shows-off-third/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/second-meet-pre-video-retains-calming-effects-shows-off-third/

It basically does the same things as the iPhone... Fandango, chat, email, Pandora... it just does them all at once!

The iPhone doesn't work well for IM apps, non ipod/itunes apps, streaming apps. These apps need to run in the background if you quickly want to check somethings else on you phone and have them still running.

There is a distinction and no as similar as you describe.]]>Apr 2nd 2009 8:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/second-meet-pre-video-retains-calming-effects-shows-off-third/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/second-meet-pre-video-retains-calming-effects-shows-off-third/
That is what real multi-tasking brings to you. Since the native music app can work on the background, you can already see why multi-tasking is beneficial. The power on webOS is to unlock this power for all developers, instead of treating them like children who can't play without breaking their toys, as Apple does.]]>Apr 2nd 2009 10:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/second-meet-pre-video-retains-calming-effects-shows-off-third/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/second-meet-pre-video-retains-calming-effects-shows-off-third/

So at the end its a cool phone, but it aint replacing my iphone, a worthy replacement for me is the Nokia N97, its got all the features and more, i mean more, its got OVI, Ngage, Nokia gave us a release date to be precise June and it isn't on crappy sprint plus am itching to try out the new services Nokia keeps anouncing every now and then.

Look Sprint TV works just fine on it.
As for 8 gig... It is decent unless you plan on using it to store vids, or loads of music.
Smaller screen, and lower resolution is only an issue of the image quality is crappy.
You have no idea what kind of apps that WEB OS can handle. It is NOT OUT YET.

As for this device not bringing anything new to the table... How about MULTI TASKING! Play music and switch about to any other app. (Streaming music included)

There will also be a 3rd party app that will allow you to use all the existing PalmOS apps out there.

AND Palm is working to have FLASH SUPPORT!

So before you try to say that this phone will suck, when it is NOT EVEN OUT YET...
