Well, I gotta say Pre is a very very good-looking phone. Its OS is very finger-friendly! This one is my ultimate no.1 when it comes to a touchscreen phone with a (non-side) sliding QWERTY keyboard.

If you have a GSM Pre then you will probably have to wait until the end of November.

Ho hum, still waiting for a review from GSMArena.
It's been out in Europe now for at least a month and not a word.
Many have compared it favourably to the Iphone, but not a word.
It's got a totally new operating system, but not a word.
It's apparently selling quite well, certainly in larger numbers than some phones reviewed here, but not a word.
It's not even that I'm definitely going to buy one, but I want to see what GSMarena think of it since their reviews are the most in-depth.
Why won't you review this phone GSMArena?

> In reply to Anonymous @ 2009-11-04 18:04 from qMUII have this phone and I have o say I was sceptical. Never having owned a Palm before, it was a trip into the unknown for me.
That said, this little gadget is amazing. Genuinely, as a strong supporter of SE normally, I took the plunge and came away from the Satio (I had a C905) and decided to trial the Pre.
Camera for a 3.2 MP thing is great. Flash, zoom etc. All I need.
MP3 player - superb!
8GB memory - all I need.
Touchscreen -better than the iPhone (O2 shop versions are not so good)
The sync ability to take all facebook, emails and contacts, find all info on them and drop em into one place is astounding.
In summary, a very very good foil to the iphone - the Apps catalogue growing daily (and for the most part FREE too)
Go try it out.
Very simple to use - nothing fancy!

Those who review the Palm Pre have not “owned” the phone nor used it for an extensive period of time like me. This phone was an upgrade (Sprint) and my primary communication device. When I first purchased mine, I did like it a lot, the touch screen was very nice, the size of the phone fit in my pocket well, the sound quality was good on phone calls, screen resolution very nice as well.
Now for the bad news. After using this phone exclusively for almost 3 weeks the phone simply shut off on it’s own. Yes it turned itself OFF. I would restart phone by pushing the appropriate button and then it took almost 5 minutes to turn on! When I tried to open the keyboard by sliding it open, many times it abruptly turned itself OFF again. Apparently (I showed this to the rep at Best Buys) when I slid the screen open to expose the keyboard and touched on one of the keys such as the space bar or period button simultaneously it would shut down! The phone would be idle for a while and when I tried to use it, it was completely shut off, not functional what soever! At this point it took at least 5 minutes to reboot or turn on again. This happened with a “complete battery charge”. What a major DISAPPOINTMENT!!! I am no alone, my daughters babysitter is on her SECOND Palm Pre which does the same annoying thing!! Sorry Palm but I went with the HTC. A much nicer solid (not plastic feel) but am presently experiencing problems with voice mail when it is downloaded on the phone, the software is freezing my phone. The HTC can store all messages into memory on the phone for playback like a tape recorder but has a “BUG”. I dial into my voice mail box until HTC or Sprint corrects this bug. When I initiated this voice mail feature, the phone prompted :looking for ugrade” which I had no choice but to select OK then trouble began. It started to download and would not stop, even overnight. While on a recent trip, I tried to use the voice mail feature, but it “froze up’ the phone. I had to do a phone reset to get it to work again but then lost all my contacts and downloads. After using both phones as my primary communication device (I am wireless at home), I will stick with the HTC. The Palm Pre has too many issues for me. Paul in Indy

> In reply to kingcobra2010 @ 2009-10-30 18:59 from 4wmLyou are really wrong about android. it is its own os, and has nothing to do with windows mobile. windows is slow and clunky, its UI is just horrible, and HTC and Samsung have really made that noticeable. Android is great, I have a g1 and it never lags, everything is fast and smooth, the response is better than my brothers iphone 3g. it is everything but windows with a different name. you're just a webos fanboy, and even tho I admit that webos destroys Android un terms of multitasking, I don't think many people will run so many flash games at once that it will make an android slow. also, when ure talking about the battery on droids being bad cuz of flash games ill remind u that the battery life of pre is even worse than iPhone. it has huge issues in the us version. and as far as apps are concerned, android has a huge advantage both nexus of the 15k apps it already has, and cuz it runs on so many more cones and cuz of that attracts devs more and will even outdo iPhone soon. android also has more of a reach than webos, there are budget devices for it like tatoo, and high ends like hero, galaxy or Motorola droid, and midrange like HTC magic, dream, Samsung spica, I think the future is with android, and webos will hag to do something amazing to catch up. just think, would u rather have Apple iPhone 3GS, Palm Pre, or HTC Hero?
