I had to tell my partner (who owns a Palm/Sprint) about it earlier today - saying that if he got the PRe, it would be almost as good as my iPhone 3G]]>Jun 5th 2009 4:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/are-you-getting-in-line-for-a-palm-pre/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/are-you-getting-in-line-for-a-palm-pre/the pre doesn't stand a chance against Omnia HD/SE Satio/N97/3rd Iphone, its already outdated]]>Jun 5th 2009 5:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/are-you-getting-in-line-for-a-palm-pre/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/are-you-getting-in-line-for-a-palm-pre/]]>Jun 5th 2009 5:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/are-you-getting-in-line-for-a-palm-pre/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/are-you-getting-in-line-for-a-palm-pre/Omnia HD/Satio/N97/ETC Got the WoW factor, Pre got no WoW factor and its not Shiny]]>Jun 5th 2009 5:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/are-you-getting-in-line-for-a-palm-pre/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/are-you-getting-in-line-for-a-palm-pre/

wow, bigot much?

could have been business partner, lab partner, tennis partner, tandem-motorcycle champion partner... the fact that you go straight for "ass-pirate" shows you are closed minded and, quite frankly, offensive. Even if Quantum was referring to life partner or lover or whatever, why do you assume it's a pair of guys? Grow up.

Actually, my Safari browser has yet to crash since I bought my iPhone eight months ago. I don't know if it's just me, but I think you're doing something wrong if your browser keeps crashing (dirty sites, much?). And yes, it is actually possible to run background apps on the iPhone. Of course, you'll need to jailbreak it but yeah, the possibility is there. I personally don't need it, but if you do, the iPhone does it for you. And I believe that's the whole point.

That doesn't mean the Pre sucks, it might actually be better than the iPhone. Despite its quality, it'll probably never match the iPhone saleswise. The iPhone is concidered by many as a fashion item, rather than a good smartphone (although in my opinion it does more than a great job at being a smartphone as well). It's sort of the same as the iPod, for all these years there have been tons of mediaplayers better than the iPod in every way, but the iPod is mostly concidered as "cool". That's probably Quantumphysics' point and I think he's right.

One last note, I just couldn't help it: without the iPhone we'd never have known about any touchscreen smartphone, let alone the Palm Pre.]]>Jun 5th 2009 7:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/are-you-getting-in-line-for-a-palm-pre/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/are-you-getting-in-line-for-a-palm-pre/
Anyway, i havent seen a single Pre ad ANYWHERE. ]]>Jun 5th 2009 9:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/are-you-getting-in-line-for-a-palm-pre/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/are-you-getting-in-line-for-a-palm-pre/Me personally I think when someone pulls out a gorgeous Omnia HD, around people with ther fugly Sprint Pre or Ipod with call making capabilities, and camera, that it might just get stolen.
Omnia HD, is setting trends with that damn screen, and multimedia phones will sell more, unless the general public decides it needs a smartphone to do shit they never knew they could do already on their computers or laptops. ]]>Jun 5th 2009 9:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/are-you-getting-in-line-for-a-palm-pre/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/are-you-getting-in-line-for-a-palm-pre/Jun 5th 2009 10:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/are-you-getting-in-line-for-a-palm-pre/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/are-you-getting-in-line-for-a-palm-pre/Jun 6th 2009 12:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/are-you-getting-in-line-for-a-palm-pre/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/are-you-getting-in-line-for-a-palm-pre/Jun 5th 2009 4:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/are-you-getting-in-line-for-a-palm-pre/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/are-you-getting-in-line-for-a-palm-pre/

I guess that's good, because I'll be able to see what apple has to offer instead of going with my gut and getting a Pre.]]>Jun 5th 2009 5:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/are-you-getting-in-line-for-a-palm-pre/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/are-you-getting-in-line-for-a-palm-pre/
Price and contract pricing already give the Pre a big head start,
and Synergy / WebOS put it over the top (atm)

I'm wondering how much Apple will steal from WebOS for their new iPhone?
If it's not outrageously expensive it'll be interesting to make that choice.

^^ IMO this is what most tech-savvy ppl are doing, and it's the smart choice.]]>Jun 5th 2009 5:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/are-you-getting-in-line-for-a-palm-pre/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/are-you-getting-in-line-for-a-palm-pre/
ill one up you now.

Have you looked at the Pre UI? Did you notice the capacitive, multi-touch screen? How about the finger-gesture controlled interface?
Palm's team is basically run by ex-apple engineers now. They poached many of the employees and design guys who worked on the iPod.

In the end however, I hope the Pre does great and forces Apple to step up their game.

-not giving up my existing plan (though I'm certain I can get past this with 30 minutes or so of haggling....did the same thing when I went from vision to power vision)
-No Public SDK. I was all excited about the iPhone when it was first announced too, but really, I'm not going to buy a phone I can't code for. (by the time the sdk finally dropped in non-NDA form to the general public, I had ceased to be a potential customer....you listening, palm?)]]>Jun 5th 2009 5:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/are-you-getting-in-line-for-a-palm-pre/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/are-you-getting-in-line-for-a-palm-pre/Jun 5th 2009 5:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/are-you-getting-in-line-for-a-palm-pre/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/are-you-getting-in-line-for-a-palm-pre/Jun 5th 2009 5:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/are-you-getting-in-line-for-a-palm-pre/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/are-you-getting-in-line-for-a-palm-pre/
Something you should know:

SERO is officially canceled. When your contract expires, that is it. We're not going to be able to upgrade to ANY phone on our SERO plan.

If you're just riding out the ~$35/mo, that's fine. If you did choose to upgrade, you would still be paying less than you would on any other carrier, apples-to-apples (plus right now turn-by-turn GPS costs extra on SERO, so you're getting more, too, rather than just paying an extra $25/30 for the same plan).

It really just comes down to whether or not you think owning the Pre > the extra $25/30 a month you'll be saving by sticking with your old phone and SERO.]]>Jun 5th 2009 5:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/are-you-getting-in-line-for-a-palm-pre/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/are-you-getting-in-line-for-a-palm-pre/
