1. Yes, the Pre has copy and paste. This doc is claiming that it doesn't have copy and paste *within the browser*. That still stinks, if true, but copy and paste is everywhere else (you can even see the demo of copy and paste on this page: http://www.precentral.net/new-palm-pre-features-revealed-manipulate-text-pro)

2. The Pre does have MMS, it just doesn't use Sprint Picture Mail to do it. MMS has been talked about since day 1 back at CES, and apparently there is a demo of it, but I haven't seen it.

3. As for the other Sprint services listed as "unsupported," its not that the Pre doesn't/can't support them, its that the Pre has its own was of providing those services (Amazon MP3, its own MMS functionality, etc.). Therefore, the Sprint-branded services are not needed.

Sorry... just saw a lot of overreaction to this post...

How come they don't have copy-n-paste!?

Don't they know how to implement it!?

Personally at one time or another I've had Verizon, AT&T and Sprint. Where you live and where you travel is the biggest factor in which is best. I currently have AT&T and live in Scottsdale. I have excellent coverage everywhere I typically go, and I can make a call and get data all the way from Phoenix to LA on the 10 with no problems

I had lots of coverage issues with Sprint, and some people here in Scottsdale dumped Sprint for AT&T because of dead zones. Verizon was OK, but I hate the crap they do to their phones. I like AT&T better than Verizon, but if Sprint had decent coverage where I live I'd consider it. The best device in the world isn't worth shit if you can't get on the network from your office and home...]]>Apr 27th 2009 12:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/insider-sprint-doc-details-the-palm-pre-for-new-users-other-b/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/insider-sprint-doc-details-the-palm-pre-for-new-users-other-b/http://twitter.com/sprintnews/status/1317511959]]>Apr 27th 2009 12:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/insider-sprint-doc-details-the-palm-pre-for-new-users-other-b/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/insider-sprint-doc-details-the-palm-pre-for-new-users-other-b/
They won't let you keep your $30 plan with the new phone (they want you to use a $70 plan)...so obviously money is important to you. So instead you will go to Att and pay $100...

Wait what?]]>Apr 27th 2009 1:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/insider-sprint-doc-details-the-palm-pre-for-new-users-other-b/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/insider-sprint-doc-details-the-palm-pre-for-new-users-other-b/
I am not saying you aren't telling the truth about coverage, but...
There is a nationally broadcast radio program (out of Phoenix) about computers and gadgets called the Kim Kommando show and I have heard her on more than one occasion complain about the horrible service she gets on her iphone. She says she loves the phone when she can use it but it is no secret to anyone that has ever listened to her show that the at&t coverage in and around Phoenix sucks ballz. I have Sprint and anywhere I have been in the last few years (including Phoenix) that is close to an interstate or is a nice size city has great coverage (including 3g coverage), heck my dad lives in a very rural area of Mississippi and I still get coverage there (not 3g coverage but I can still make and receive calls). I'm not bashing you personally, I just don't like at&t. I live right off a major state road that leads to a pretty popular beach and my friends w/at&t don't get any service at my house or most of the way to the beach where as my phone works almost all the way there (only dropping service once or twice for a short while). Not to mention the fact that at&t's plans are way more expensive than comparable sprint plans...ok I'm stepping down off the soap box...now.]]>Apr 27th 2009 6:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/insider-sprint-doc-details-the-palm-pre-for-new-users-other-b/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/insider-sprint-doc-details-the-palm-pre-for-new-users-other-b/Apr 27th 2009 8:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/insider-sprint-doc-details-the-palm-pre-for-new-users-other-b/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/insider-sprint-doc-details-the-palm-pre-for-new-users-other-b/
1) I like the iPhone. I know this for a fact. I think I'm going to like the Pre but can't be sure until I get my hands on one.
2) I don't like the iPhone enough to justify paying $60/month more than I'm currently paying ($30 for SERO vs. $90 for equivalent AT&T plan). I do like the iPhone enough to justify paying $20/month more for it ($70 Simply Everything vs. $90 AT&T plan).
3) AT&T's network is pretty damn good in/around Atlanta; my fiancée's iPhone has very few problems with no coverage/dropped calls.

Hopefully, once the Pre is officially announced, I can get someone from Sprint on the phone and convince them to let me keep SERO if I buy a Pre and re-up my contract for 2 years. If the alternative is that I cancel my account and move to AT&T, they may be willing to work something out.]]>Apr 28th 2009 9:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/insider-sprint-doc-details-the-palm-pre-for-new-users-other-b/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/insider-sprint-doc-details-the-palm-pre-for-new-users-other-b/
