Replacing HTC touch pro with Palm Pre

[gimme5]

I'm not much of a phone butterfly anyway... I would still be using my Treo700WX if it hadn't been stolen

It's the Treo PRO that is going to be out on 3/15, no pre-ordering of the Pre and not even a hint of when it will be out other than "first half of 09" so far. It is a very compelling product, IMO. I like WM and like to tinker with it but also a business owner, so actual phone communications is important to me. I'll wait for it to release and then see how it goes. I typically wait 3-4 months after something has been released before I jump.

I'm done with windows... switching as soon is released!

I'm taking the plunge i'm not afraid of stepping out of the box at least for a year since im a premier customer. The tethering thing kinda made me hesitant but its not a big deal. No sd slot is no biggie either it has 8gb of onboard and I havn't even used 1/4 of my 4gb on my TP. I just don't want to be limited to one OS without trying others.

I'm intrigued and the OS does seem to run smooth and efficent. I saw a couple graphic hiccups/artifacts that I would have preferred not to see. That's my main gripe with WM is that it does have graphic acceleration issues.

However, if the Pre is properly supported by the development community the way the Iphone has been, this phone will be a savior of sorts for Sprint. WM phones have their place, but this one might be that bridge that brings usability to the "pocket computers" our WM phones have become.

lol lots of people like the way the pre looks. It's "cute" aparently.

I like that it's slightly rounded. It should feel better in your hand and in your pocket...

Will I switch? yeah, there is a very good chance.

TP is slow at times, video playback still a problem. If I have to read forum threads just to make my video plays better, or render better, that is just ridiculous.

But, the wm does still have sling mobile, so my wait will be to play with the device when it comes out, and wait to see if Sling have any plans to make a mobile player for the pre, then I am out of here.

and seriously HTC, your continual use of usb variant on the headphones is what kills it for me, and this crappy windows mobile OS. really HTC? REALLY? are you freaking kidding me? ok, rant over.

i think that the Palm Pre will turn into another Samsung Instinct, will do pretty well at first then eveyone will come back to Winmo. And there probly going to market the Palm Pre instead of the Diamond 2 or TP 2 and sprint going to fail us once again. IMHO excuse my little rant. lol

Yep, the 700wx was great. It ran pretty fast too, especially after I overclocked it. The only thing was the lack of wifi without using a special card.

I have no problems with the looks of the pre.It looks beautiful in my opinion.
