I really wouldn't put any store on the results of an Engadget self-selecting poll.

You sound like you've got issues, mate.

The Pre is not "surprisingly sluggish when compared to other smartphones." It's faster than my iPhone was and a whole load faster than my Android G1.

*sigh

to Jack: strange then that blogs aren't constantly filling up with stories about Microsoft or Nokia or anyone else 'defending' their trademarks against logos that look nothing like their own. Apple have a hideous record for firing up their bully boy legal team. They're worse than just about ANY other major tech company I can think of.

If anyone was in any doubt about the level of Apple fanboydom on Engdaget, the site's near-unique take on the story is this.

Apple are being corporate bullies once again. And you lot try to defend them. Pathetic.

I loathe o2 and hate being tied to an 18 month contract, but after trying out a Palm Pre in the States, it's the phone for me. It's a fabulous device.

I would have thought Apple would be busier trying to catch up with the webOS's multi tasking capabilities myself.

There was no high return rate.

We're still talking about the Pre adverts, weeks after they've been shown = massive win for Palm.

They might be a bit weird but they're more interesting that the usual dull spinning product shots or the 'there's an app for that' bs.

You can almost *smell* the ass-covering and damage-limitation PR bullshit being spread about here.
