is the pre worth it?

Picture messaging, yes. Video I don't know honestly.

There is a patch that allows it to send video, but it is still unable take videos, and you can only send one photo at a time. Which is a bummer, but will hopefully be fixed soon....

I'm excite to see the performance of the device with such a "brain" behind it. The iphone's interface is very smooth and quick, but not nearly as "usable" as WebOS. More processing power will only allow better games and such for the iphone, but the multitasking capabilities will reach sky-high with more power.

IMO WebOS was built with future processors in mind and with how fast the phone is progressing (apps, patches and updates) and snapdragons and such right around the corner, palm timed things very well.

Honestly, Apple really needs to finally change up the iphones interface a bit if they wish to stay on top.

and blackberry gets boring faster than any other phone i've had. They have slow progress.

Please don't tell me winmo is gunna beat anything lol... winmo7 better wow me.

I don't mind android, but it just isn't as fluid and usable as WebOS. But 2.0 looks a lil more promising. Just wait til WebOS 2.0...

agreed. if winmo 7 will still sport that lame status bar with start icon, i am sorry its game over. i don't care about phones, as long as they make the calls, and the only reason i bought the diamond is cause i had some extra cash to flaunt, but after looking at pre's webOs, omg. that's how a "smartphone" should be -- not this dwarfing of windows onto a smaller screen.
as for android, they gotta get away from htc, fast.
blackberry is your fast texting device. that's it.
as for all you skeptics out there, pre is the FIRST webOs device, and what a first impression it was exquisite.

exactly this is a first gen device.. alot of wrinkles to get ironed out. but so far the ride has been great.. sure there are no roms to flash or a million apps. but for what it does and has right now. its great.. I just hope its not the sega dreamcast of cellphones.lol

[Incubated]

haha dreamcast. the timing was all wrong there, but you know, sega had colour display hand held, game gear, when nintendo couldn't even play under a shade. sega just had some bad luck all along lol

[spiritcrusher33]

LOL i know im a die hard sega fan too.. had every system all the way back to the master system..

the dreamcast will go on to be my fav system of all time..

I just recently sold my 60 gig ps3 launch model..i never played games on it. only watched movies. so i bought the wd hd media player..and just play the wii with my kids,lol

[Carla]

I loved flashing roms, and even cooking my own for persinal use, but I don't miss tht at all. I use this phone non stop. I love web browsing on it(like I am currently doing as I type lol). Oh, I only had Soul Caliber when we had a Dreamcast in our first apartmnet in college but I loved that game. Yall don't want none

[Incubated]

haha. i had both of the soul caliber games. i had all of the marvel vs capcom vs snk games. it had the best arcade games. and best of all, they were all burned. i let my friend's five year old borrow it. he destroyed it =( lol

[spiritcrusher33]

Ya i had like 35 games...but to me the dreamcast was the best console for fps at the time.. and to me had the best control setup..screw trying to play fps with 2 analog sticks. lol I pwnd at q3 arena on 56k on the dreamcast.. me and my brother used those moto 5 mile radious walkie talkies for team matches..lol we kicked arse...at that and unreal t....

but i sold my dreamcast with all those classic games for 300 on cl last year.. i still miss it..

[Certs]

The LAST thing I miss is constantly flashing ROM's!

Oh yeah, screwed around and bought a Pre last night. Haven't had a chance to make it mine yet but I'm getting there and should have a better opinion on this phone tomorrow. So far so good though
