| It's not even a contest -- 3G S, baby! | |
|---|---|
| Are you kidding? It's gotta be the Pre. | |
| The $99 iPhone 3G is just way too hard to pass up. | |
| Come on! WinMo, Symbian, Android -- all better options. | |
| Bah, I can do everything I need on this first-gen RAZR. |
No expandable memory, no money from me. So you should be able to figure out which ones I didn't vote for, giving you a 50% chance at guessing which one I did vote for. And if you look at my recent comment post history, everyone can call you a moron if you don't get it right.
I found it funny that everyone is comparing anything that is called a smart phone with the iPhone! People lets be real, the real rival is Blackberry & Microsoft. Why you may ask? Well they dominate the servers and in some ways tailor a clear network solution with there business. iPhones can't completely do this; also Pre is a different kind of product. It’s going after Blackberry in my perspective. Palm has the history to make this product a new standard for business. If people the Palm V, every other business suit owned one! it palms chance to clam that set, until then Palm isn't competing with Apple; Palm is competing with Blackberry users! Palm wants all there suits back!!! Just think about, swim in the idea that Palm is using the power of apple soul to take over businesses!!! It’s going to happen! WATCH!
iPhone 3G s for sure!!!!
heres my two cents...
the pre multitasks...
end of story
happy pre owner for the past week
i phone or pre ... please, apple does and will always appeal to the lowest common denominator ("hey it's easy!" yeah , IPHONE is great) But honestly which is a better product... it's the pre; but the ISh*t will win every poll.
Today I went to the Store and Got both the Iphone 3Gs and the Palm Pre and i already have a sidekick so as off now i have 3 phones.
All the 3 phones have pros and cons. And I am debating which one to keep in the end cause there is only 1 I can use. (please dont yell at me if i stated some things wrong, its my first day and i am just speaking from a new users perspective)
Palm Pre the problem is that the keypads are way to small. it is a pain in the tush to type. there is not T9 so you have to know how to spell or else you would make a fool of your self. It is also annoying that when the screen is on standby mode i have to slide the phone down and up again to restart it. The phone is a little bit slow when opening to applications and switching between texts and ims. I like how it incorporates facebook contacts into my contacts but i hate how i can not delete people i dont really know and my aim buddies got synced too. I have over 200 buddies and i really dont need their username on my contact list taking up space. The Pre is nice to hold but the bottom edge is too sharp and can hurt. Also after typing on the Pre for more than half hour you thumbs stards to hurt because it is hard to type with accuracy. But I do love the multitasking ability, this is the biggest thing.
I like the iphone in that it doesn't look like a cheap pieve of plastic. But i do hate how slow it reacts when i want to turn to landslide view. when i put my contacts it, sometime it would go landslide but when i want it up, it won't go up. That was so frustrating today. Also it is hard to type in my opinion with the touch screen. Especially if you are trying to type fast with out looking. With a keyboard you can type and talk and look at the person you are talking to, you can also text in class without getting caught if you have a keyboard. With the iphone you get caught txting cause I had the 3G before and i didn't get caught with the sidekick. I like how the iphone gives out words you might be typing but its a drag when i want to type ass and it becomes as and F*ck becoms duck. like really? come on. Also to download the free applications I have to sign up on itunes store account. i dont have a credit card yet so having to buy a gift card just for this pisses me off so much. BUt i do like how fast and sensitive the touch screen is when i slide from page to page thats a plus plus. Also the Iphone has video taking which is great and
In general I really like the pre except the typing is just too annoying. I also think the Iphone is so over rated. I am paying $120 for a month and that includes 5000 weekends and nights. 450 whenever minutes, unlimited txt and web. but with the pre, i pay $80, get 450 whenever minute, unlimited text, and web usage and my weekends and nights are free starting at 7pm which is really a great deal. especially since i am not exactly rich and am paying for my own phone bill.
Once Again I really like the palm. I just hope they would create like the Ultimate phone! I really like the sidekick the way the keyboard is. I can like for seriously type faster than i do on keyboard which is amazing, the hold is also confrontable and you can switch the cases to whatever you want to personalize it. and I also love how you can use control keys to jump from screen to screen in the matter of a second as oppose to waiting in the iphone and pre. It also has an application for email. If Palm or Apple or T mobil could like combine all three phones in one i think it would be like the ultimate phone. I wish so much that the sidekick is touch screen cause I really love the keyboard. But stince i have shitty service I have to now choose between Iphone 3GS and Pre.
I will make my decision in 15 days since i have a 30 day trial and i can refund the phones. wish me luck everyone
