Well, I just hope Palm can sell enough Pres to stay in business, forget about going after the iPhone since Apple is way off ahead in the distance somewhere. I do hope the Pre buyers are satisfied and that the Sprint network is good enough. I'd heard that there were about 100 Pres available throughout Manhattan and I guess that's OK. Better than 20 for sure. I hope for Palm's sake, they were all bought (probably a few more will end up on eBay).]]>Jun 6th 2009 2:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/06/palm-pre-goes-on-sale-nationwide-line-forms-on-the-right/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/06/palm-pre-goes-on-sale-nationwide-line-forms-on-the-right/+1 that first link is priceless.]]>Jun 6th 2009 4:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/06/palm-pre-goes-on-sale-nationwide-line-forms-on-the-right/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/06/palm-pre-goes-on-sale-nationwide-line-forms-on-the-right/Jun 7th 2009 12:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/06/palm-pre-goes-on-sale-nationwide-line-forms-on-the-right/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/06/palm-pre-goes-on-sale-nationwide-line-forms-on-the-right/Jun 6th 2009 9:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/06/palm-pre-goes-on-sale-nationwide-line-forms-on-the-right/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/06/palm-pre-goes-on-sale-nationwide-line-forms-on-the-right/

unlike those sorry excuses over at gizmodo that only post about stupid sh1t, apple, and anti-pre news. seriously they were posting all this stuff about how there are only 9 units in each store. what a load of trash. sure engadget did that too, but at least they pointed out that it didn't make sense that the flagship store in chicago would only have 10 units. they also posted a FOLLOW UP like this post about the actual number in stock. god, gizmodo is so worthless these days.

I just upgraded my Fuze to the Energy 3.0 ROM and it is the best phone OS interface I have ever used, so slick fast and clean.

So a TP2 on 6.5 will be something to at least give a whirl, I personally cannot wait. Something that the iPhone and maybe the WebOS? cannot do is change to whatever look you want. I personally cannot stand the iPhone / blackberry layout. Here is EVERY app on you phone hogging all the space.

Just saying options are nice, the WinMo 6.5 Titanium layout is sharp as can be. I look forward to trying a Pre myself, been 5 or 6 years since Plam made anything worthwhile! But ATT and Verizon are reception kings in NorCal, so I wouldn't switch until it came to a new network.]]>Jun 6th 2009 11:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/06/palm-pre-goes-on-sale-nationwide-line-forms-on-the-right/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/06/palm-pre-goes-on-sale-nationwide-line-forms-on-the-right/Jun 6th 2009 11:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/06/palm-pre-goes-on-sale-nationwide-line-forms-on-the-right/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/06/palm-pre-goes-on-sale-nationwide-line-forms-on-the-right/

I've had 6.5 on my HTC Diamond for the past 2 months. It took all of 5 minutes of using the Pre to really show me why I will never go back to Windows Mobile until it is completely overhauled. The synergy of the Pre really is great. Responsiveness, the ability to use capacative touchscreens, syncing your gmail, outlook, and facebook contacts all in one manager. Let's not forget being able to set individual ringtones for individual contacts.

Don't think of me as anti MS either. I own a 360 run Windows exclusively (I actually liked Vista, but switched to 7), will most likely buy a Zune HD to upgrade my Zune 30. Windows Mobile even 6.5 just isn't up to par.

I have spent quite a bit of time with my friend's iPhones, and I will say WebOS is a great operating system. I like some things WebOS does better, and the iPhone does some other things better. The one thing they share in common though is that they were both entirely designed to be used by your fingers and not a mix of stylus and finger. ]]>Jun 7th 2009 11:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/06/palm-pre-goes-on-sale-nationwide-line-forms-on-the-right/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/06/palm-pre-goes-on-sale-nationwide-line-forms-on-the-right/Jun 6th 2009 9:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/06/palm-pre-goes-on-sale-nationwide-line-forms-on-the-right/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/06/palm-pre-goes-on-sale-nationwide-line-forms-on-the-right/Jun 6th 2009 9:43AM
