possibly switching from hero to pre

[wudstock54]

With the availability of the 800 patch for the pre it's hand's down Pre for me now. I still wish webos would appear on a larger version of the pixi with the pre's processor and wifi. I prefer the form of the pixi.

Keep in mind that Palm and WebOS has been dying, while android has been doing nothing but growing. I don't see how palm will even stay afload in the mobile market, much less competitive. The android marketplace is full of free games/apps, where it seems like nearly all of WebOS is paid apps. go to the store and play with it and see, but I would say stick with the Hero, root it, and have some fun with it

It is more than apps.... There are plenty of free apps... You just have to actually know what you are talking about to know where they are.

The multitasking on the pre is unbeatable. Nothing holds a candle to it.

I disagree about all webos apps being "paid". Many useful apps are free. Also I don't play games on my palms so that's not an issue for me. Ditto to what Mom said about multi-tasking. Opinions are like anal orifices, everybody's got one and it's yours to use freely!

Yup. If anything is gonna keep me on the Pre when the Evo is release its gonna be the ability to multitask. I think I'm going to see how the SenseUI on top of Android is going to work.

let me put it this way...

i went from the touch pro to the Pre...

Pre to Hero...

back to the Pre...

Pre for touch Pro 2...

back to the Pre...

Pre to the Moment...

im currently looking for another Pre...

webOS is HANDS DOWN the best OS available now, the combination of a great browser, multitasking, email, games, sync etc. is second to none ( i say combination because a lot of devices excel at some things but sucks at others, but webOS is IMO great at everything it currently does) I keep wanting to try other devices that appeal to me due to the "grass is greener" symdrome, but i always come to realize that i miss webOS too much to stay with something else... now with the 800mhz patch it will run even faster circles around the Hero. Gonna be tough wanting to get the EVO... i wish that Palm would at least announce something new before the EVO hits

I agree with you 100% here. I wouldn't even consider the Evo if Palm would announce something new coming to Sprint. It would be nice to have a Palm Pre Plus Plus 4G.

10-4 on the "something new".

stick with what you have until EVO

thanks in advance for your thoughts =P

i wouldn't switch to a palm right now. i owned both the pre and pixi and the hero is tons better. palm is going out of business, they will be bought out soon enough. their market share is worthless.
