gianthobbit · #1 (**permalink**) 01-10-2009, 01:01 PM

I just watched there full keynote at CES (http://i.gizmodo.com/5128163/full-pa...n-high-quality) and all i can say is wow.

I just purchased my HTC touch pro on Dec. 8th... is there anyway I can get a return to get the Palm Pre when it comes out... any loopholes?

The pre won't be out for months...slated for 1st half of 2009. so your looking at march, maybe april when it arrives. I see your already past your 30 days so your pretty much outa luck. Sorry man.

What is is that you like so much here over the TouchPro??

After watching that, I wouldn't swap my perfect TP for it.....

Exactly! Perfect! Haven't had a phone in a long time that I felt was "perfect" yes the touch pro could be better much better but they hit the nail pretty much on the head with the touch pro. And to the OP explain what wows you about the palm pre.

just checked the return policy, looks like I am out of luck. Dont get me wrong, I love my touch pro. Palms UI is amazing, really thought out well. There UI is based on HTML, Java, and css, pandora said it took them 3 days to make there application for it. We had to wait for WM version for how long.... and still not out for the touch pro yet.

I love my pro plus when the pre comes out the geeks here will just find a way to get the cool **** on to the Pro anyways.

What I guess I like is how the UI is fast and more optimized for touch, come on guys we all know WM is terrible at this... this is why we have skins for them. How you create programs for it is with basic HTML, Java, and CSS, there are millions of developers that already know how to create programs for it. I will have to wait and see but I think software development will be easiest on that system.

Its the UI I like not the phone.

I have to agree on this. I just received my TP two days ago and maybe i dont know how to work this thing because its only been two days but i kinda like the Palm Pre over the Touch Pro as well. I LOVE the fact that Palm organized their open tasks as cards so it makes it much easier to maneuver. Also i dont know if my settings are all wrong but if im doing something with my TP and i get a text or something i wont know unless i specifically go to my messages...that sucks! I also dont like how if im scrolling through the links at the bottom and i go to the messages Icon...it shows the body of my text message without me even clicking into it. I like them to be a little more private. Again...its only been two days and maybe something is all wrong with my settings but i sure cannot figure it out. Ill give it another week.
