I definitely agree and I'm loving my Pre Plus. but Palm needs to stop re-releasing the same phone over and over, and release a new next-gen phone. The Pre didn't do SO well that Palm can afford to test its magic on multiple carriers a year after its original inception.

personally I'd like to see a candybar form (like the Pixi) but with the guts of a much stronger (say, 2x the Pre Plus) phone. that'd be worthwhile]]>Feb 10th 2010 11:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/fcc-paper-trail-suggests-atandt-getting-pre-in-may/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/fcc-paper-trail-suggests-atandt-getting-pre-in-may/Feb 10th 2010 5:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/fcc-paper-trail-suggests-atandt-getting-pre-in-may/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/fcc-paper-trail-suggests-atandt-getting-pre-in-may/Feb 10th 2010 6:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/fcc-paper-trail-suggests-atandt-getting-pre-in-may/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/fcc-paper-trail-suggests-atandt-getting-pre-in-may/

Have you seen the multi-tasking capabilities on the Pre Plus (50 Apps at a time!!) and the UI is so much better than the iPhone's in terms of app and info management.

Android is a really good OS, but it's not nearly as refined as WebOS. If WebOS gets more adoption, it could easily beat Android in number and quality of apps. I really look forward to it.

I totally agree. I had the droid for 2 months and Android really isn't polished and complete like webOS is - and I don't mean only in terms of style. Honestly, I can imagine that Android 3.0 and beyond will be badass beyond compare, but webOS in version 1.3.5.1 kicks all the other smartphone OS's asses, I can't imagine what it'll be like at version 3.0+]]>Feb 10th 2010 11:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/fcc-paper-trail-suggests-atandt-getting-pre-in-may/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/fcc-paper-trail-suggests-atandt-getting-pre-in-may/

/yawn

People have been saying that for a year now. Give it up.

Palm may not be dominating the market like they used to, but they're definitely not out of the game.

What has been holding them back?
1. launching on CDMA without offering GSM-unlocked versions at least
2. Not releasing more hardware options with better storage options.

Honestly, the only reason Android has been gaining ground is b/c they have devices on every carrier and better hardware options since the release of the Nexus One and announcement of the Xperia X10.]]>Feb 10th 2010 5:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/fcc-paper-trail-suggests-atandt-getting-pre-in-may/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/fcc-paper-trail-suggests-atandt-getting-pre-in-may/"...the only reason Android has been gaining ground is b/c they have devices on every carrier and better hardware options .."

Those would be VERY good reasons to not buy a Pre.

I agree that WebOS is very polished, perhaps more so than any other mobile OS. I picked one up over the weekend for Sprint and am extremely impressed. Perhaps some of my excitement can be explained by its new-ness but I really believe it's that good.

Palm is almost there - they just need to refine the hardware. For example, the Pre keyboard is simply too small and the screen could stand to be a bit bigger. Other than that, I have nothing but nice things to say about the Pre.]]>Feb 10th 2010 7:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/fcc-paper-trail-suggests-atandt-getting-pre-in-may/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/fcc-paper-trail-suggests-atandt-getting-pre-in-may/]]>Feb 10th 2010 5:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/fcc-paper-trail-suggests-atandt-getting-pre-in-may/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/fcc-paper-trail-suggests-atandt-getting-pre-in-may/Feb 10th 2010 5:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/fcc-paper-trail-suggests-atandt-getting-pre-in-may/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/fcc-paper-trail-suggests-atandt-getting-pre-in-may/
Everyone said the same thing about Android. It was all, 'oh it doesn't have any apps' and 'oh it's only on T-Mobile.'

And what do ya know, after a year of further development and expanding onto more carriers, Android is taking off.

WebOS is basically following the same path as Android. Come out on a small carrier, work out a lot of the bugs. Then expand to other worldwide and US carriers.]]>Feb 10th 2010 5:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/fcc-paper-trail-suggests-atandt-getting-pre-in-may/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/fcc-paper-trail-suggests-atandt-getting-pre-in-may/Feb 10th 2010 5:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/fcc-paper-trail-suggests-atandt-getting-pre-in-may/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/fcc-paper-trail-suggests-atandt-getting-pre-in-may/Feb 10th 2010 9:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/fcc-paper-trail-suggests-atandt-getting-pre-in-may/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/fcc-paper-trail-suggests-atandt-getting-pre-in-may/Feb 10th 2010 5:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/fcc-paper-trail-suggests-atandt-getting-pre-in-may/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/fcc-paper-trail-suggests-atandt-getting-pre-in-may/Feb 10th 2010 5:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/fcc-paper-trail-suggests-atandt-getting-pre-in-may/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/fcc-paper-trail-suggests-atandt-getting-pre-in-may/I agree.

People still say "ticket:blah blah"? Couldn't you have just said, "Don't invest in Palm"?

The stock is six times higher than it was in December, 2008. Please, please, please, it's painfully obvious you lack even the most basic stock market knowledge, stop giving out stock advice.

That being said I would like some different hardware. Pre's screen is a bit too small, and the lack of removable storage is just... fruity.

Also I have read some reviews but none of them cover my specific scenario: how does Web OS sync with Outlook when one is NOT using Exchange? I understand all sync is done wirelessly/over-the-air but I want my contacts and calendar items to show up on my desk and in my pocket (no matter where they get entered from) without having to futz around with Google calendars and crap like that. This is something that worries me about Android devices as well, no matter how I covet them. No Outlook sync, no dice-- and all the rumors I hear about WM7 aren't too heartening either (no Flash? No multitasking? App Marketplace installs only? Is MS's grand strategy just to ape Apple? I truly do not understand). ]]>Feb 10th 2010 6:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/fcc-paper-trail-suggests-atandt-getting-pre-in-may/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/fcc-paper-trail-suggests-atandt-getting-pre-in-may/
I'd be happy if Google would get their act together and unify their syncing. Their beta calendar sync app is a good start, but they have stalled there.

Right now I sync Outlook Calendar with Google Calendar, then GCal with my phone(s) over-the-air, but I have to sync Outlook contacts, notes, and tasks with my phone(s) through USB. I would switch my phone to sync to Google contacts if they could sync with Outlook WITH contact picture support, but where is it?

I'm all for cloud PIM syncing, but I need Outlook to be invited to the party. ]]>Feb 10th 2010 9:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/fcc-paper-trail-suggests-atandt-getting-pre-in-may/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/fcc-paper-trail-suggests-atandt-getting-pre-in-may/Feb 10th 2010 6:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/fcc-paper-trail-suggests-atandt-getting-pre-in-may/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/fcc-paper-trail-suggests-atandt-getting-pre-in-may/Feb 10th 2010 6:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/fcc-paper-trail-suggests-atandt-getting-pre-in-may/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/fcc-paper-trail-suggests-atandt-getting-pre-in-may/Maybe because not everyone in the country has terrible service from AT&T?
