Official Palm Pre User Review Thread

Things I will miss on the device:

1. SMS interface. I don't think anything else on the market can touch the SMS interface on the Pre. It is great.
2. Web browser.
3. Capacitive screen, multitouch zoom and gesture controls.

Just sayin.

wow that sux man.... i heard a lot about build quality. i hope that if i choose the Pre over the Hero (come september) the build quality from those batches to be a little bit more sturdy (guy can dream rite? lol)

You can delete them pretty quickly by swiping the conversations off the screen to get rid of them a conversation at a time.

questions to all happy palm pre users...Re: the slider (slide out keyboard)

im not claiming to have the oreo symptoms, but my kb slider seems alittle loose. i know with all slider devices there will be some play in it.

my questions:

a)how much play in the kb slider is normal...?

b)when enough is enough...?



ps..just looking for the realistic thoughts of the happy to have a pre users..!

I don't know if there is a specific amount of twist to worry about it. However, if you're worried I'd take it into the Sprint store and get it replaced. Or at the very least take it in and see what they have to say about it. Or....take it in and compare it with a new model.

My daughter's Pre had quite a bit of wiggle, oreo effect. I took it back the next day and they said Palm was aware of the issue and they were not replacing for this issue. My rep told me to take it back in a couple of weeks and get my 30 exchange. We had it replaced this passed weekend and it is much better now. I did check it before my rep activated it.

Both of ours are fairly "twist free". I hope it's not a problem that develops over time though.
