Wrong!!!!!! I had a palm centro and I could open and manipulate, create, MS Word, Powerpoint, and Excel docs,. You should of said "yes" it would be like opening MS word on Mac OS...by the way I am a "PC". I am not too sure about outlook, but the others will work.

My understanding of the question was: can it run things like cab files ect... also do you have a Pre now? Or are you speaking just as theoretically as I am?

Dont forget that you will most likely need to change a plan for the palm pre....

But i would get the palm pre if i could.

Pre for sure!

Is anyone here thinkin what i'm thinkin? I really believe that the Treo Pro is old news and put on the backburner by Palm... updates are coming for the latest and greatest from now on.

I'd say go with the Palm Pre

I replaced my Pro with a Pre. 2 weeks later, I switched back. The Pre is nice and my wife still has one but there are 2 major deal killers for me:
1) No voice command
2) Bluetooth issues. With 3 different phones and 4 different headsets including a bluetooth built into my car, the calls get garbled on both ends of the conversation throughout the conversation. The garbling starts anywhere from 30 seconds to 4 minutes from the start of the call, lasts for about 20 seconds and clears up. This will repeat throughout the call at no certain interval.

Another minor issue that Im sure will get resolved soon; No Sirius Sat Radio app and it cannot stream from thier website.

What I do like about the Pre:
The feel and operability
Size/weight
Battery Life
OS stability

Calls drop more often on the Pre as well

I am just wondering what the opinions on here are about the palm pre versus htc touch pro. features, design, available applications, all that junk

**Dr.8820** · #**208** (**permalink**) 12-01-2009, 01:22 AM

not to thread-jack, but you were offered a pre as a replacement for your tp, right? do you want that or something else?

TP_Cutie24F · #**209** (**permalink**) 12-01-2009, 01:26 AM

um no, theres nothing wrong with myTP
Its just so clunky compared to the ppcs that are coming out now.

go play with a palm pre cutie, I personally do not like them because of the material they made to manufacture the body of the phone feels like cheap plastic when your coming from an HTC. I will have an HTC any day over most palms, the pixie does look kind of neat though lol
