I find it very useful - no need to look for a button, its much easier to close the slider.
Oh, wait, Pre doesn't have "end call" button... how do you end a call on Pre without looking on screen?

What are you, an idiot or something?

Wait, you know what? Yeah, I know a way to do that, you throw it on the ground really hard.

If I don't have the slider open, then what? Sorta of sounds nice to have this app, but then again, the slider is a bit counter-intuitive if the slider is closed already, which is the more typical scenario.]]>Oct 19th 2009 6:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/unofficial-patch-lets-you-hang-up-palm-pre-calls-by-closing-the/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/unofficial-patch-lets-you-hang-up-palm-pre-calls-by-closing-the/Oct 19th 2009 6:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/unofficial-patch-lets-you-hang-up-palm-pre-calls-by-closing-the/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/unofficial-patch-lets-you-hang-up-palm-pre-calls-by-closing-the/
So let's recapitulate:
iPhone - locked into one carrier, still somewhat dumbed down when compared to real phones
Pre - locked into one carrier, shoddy hardware, and obviously stupid omissions
Pixi - likely just like Pre, maybe better hardware
Any Android device - no proper Mac sync

Yes. Wait, I see... the future... I see me spending money... on... a Nokia!]]>Oct 19th 2009 6:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/unofficial-patch-lets-you-hang-up-palm-pre-calls-by-closing-the/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/unofficial-patch-lets-you-hang-up-palm-pre-calls-by-closing-the/Oct 19th 2009 6:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/unofficial-patch-lets-you-hang-up-palm-pre-calls-by-closing-the/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/unofficial-patch-lets-you-hang-up-palm-pre-calls-by-closing-the/
Oh, and please, Verizon? Try and grasp that you're on the internet, not everybody is necessarily located in the US of A. Palm exported their mindnumbing, anti-consumer model to Europe, just as Apple did. For that, both of them deserve to be ignored. I don't care about "open self-patchable systems" if I cannot simply buy the product. ]]>Oct 20th 2009 1:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/unofficial-patch-lets-you-hang-up-palm-pre-calls-by-closing-the/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/unofficial-patch-lets-you-hang-up-palm-pre-calls-by-closing-the/Oct 19th 2009 6:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/unofficial-patch-lets-you-hang-up-palm-pre-calls-by-closing-the/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/unofficial-patch-lets-you-hang-up-palm-pre-calls-by-closing-the/Oct 20th 2009 5:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/unofficial-patch-lets-you-hang-up-palm-pre-calls-by-closing-the/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/unofficial-patch-lets-you-hang-up-palm-pre-calls-by-closing-the/Oct 20th 2009 9:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/unofficial-patch-lets-you-hang-up-palm-pre-calls-by-closing-the/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/unofficial-patch-lets-you-hang-up-palm-pre-calls-by-closing-the/
Sure... Palm should have had this amended to the phone from the beginning, but no phone is perfect. The collection of patches and tweaks that are currently available for the Pre are surprising and well presented and is still prospering and growing.]]>Oct 19th 2009 6:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/unofficial-patch-lets-you-hang-up-palm-pre-calls-by-closing-the/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/unofficial-patch-lets-you-hang-up-palm-pre-calls-by-closing-the/
But I'm compelled to point out that we really don't know whether Apple would permit an app that hangs up when you close the keyboard, because Apple has not seen fit to release a phone with a keyboard...

(And yes, that's meant facetiously; obviously it's technically impossible to implement without multi-tasking, and thus forever banned from the app store.)]]>Oct 20th 2009 4:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/unofficial-patch-lets-you-hang-up-palm-pre-calls-by-closing-the/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/unofficial-patch-lets-you-hang-up-palm-pre-calls-by-closing-the/Oct 19th 2009 6:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/unofficial-patch-lets-you-hang-up-palm-pre-calls-by-closing-the/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/unofficial-patch-lets-you-hang-up-palm-pre-calls-by-closing-the/
