Re: Palm Pre from Sprint Sooner than you think, TP owners, will you switch?
I have had both the Mogul and Touch. I missed the keyboard from the Mogul, but I didnt miss how it was a little slower and a little thicker compared to the Touch. I didnt go for the Diamond or Touch Pro, mostly because I new that something new and better was going to come out soon after (Diamond 2 and Touch Pro 2). Anyways, I'm really looking forward to the Pre mostly because it seems to have a lot of the things I would want in a phone. WebOS seems pretty stable, the screen seems to be fairly responsive, and I like that it has a keyboard, wifi, and a decent camera, all in a small size. But I will definitely agree with you guys, you cant really tell until you get your hands on it, just like the Instinct (Boy was that a huge disappoint, after all that hype from Sprint), and I would also agree that WM is probably more customizable than WebOS, but I still think it will run more smoothly. Overall, I am really looking forward to the Pre, and I hope this helps sprint get out of the grave they have been digging themselves into for a while. I have a sweet plan and dont want to lose it or switch companies.
By the way, I love the touchstone they came out with. That is just sick! I'm definitely getting that if I get the Pre. |

Is This The True IPhone Killer?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiQzCd2OnoM ^^^8 reasons why it is^^^^^ check out the vid dont know if it was already posted or not.... i must say i do love the versitility of WM....but i manage a sprint store and no one i know that i would sell the TP to would know how to do the things we do to it...and face it...out of the box the phone fails miserably...sprint needs something that isnt too complex and yet versitile in every way and still easy enough for the average joe to figure it out. ps....i spend hours every day at work when theres nothing to do messing around modding my phone and just playing with it on here....if the tp was perfect then i wouldnt have anything to do all day lol....but yet in still i would like to see how well the pre perforsm before i commit to it...i also want to see what Microsoft is going to do...if they wait to long they will lose a lot of business...2 years contracts can stop a lot of users from switching! |
Re: Palm Pre from Sprint Sooner than you think, TP owners, will you switch?
Here's my decision: I'm sticking with my diamond most likely thru the 3rd Qtr of this year... soon as both Pre and TP2 are out i'll have to revisit my gameplan... because a few things could happen:
1 "The sega genesis vs Super nintendo scenario": the Pre becomes a BEAST of a phone - i mean even slaying the Iphone.... but gets no 3rd party support whatsoever and dies a quiet death... 2 "The It's-cheaper-to-keep-her scenario": The pre is out for like 3 months and all of the tech is imitated/emulated/replicated to run as a shell OS/UI on our WinMo devices... I tend to think #2 will happen or at least tide me over for a while a la what we see with the TP2 cabs that have been flooding in after being ripped out of 6.5! We keep incorporating new elements of next gen devices into our already existing phones... LOVE YOU WinMO! lol |
Re: Palm Pre from Sprint Sooner than you think, TP owners, will you switch?
I have a diamond and its my first windows mobile phone (i got it like a month ago). And i do love this phone, but the only BAD thing for me is that (and by bad i mean good) WM is so customizable lol. Its TOO customizable for me. There is SO much you can do w/ a windows mobile phone, and sometimes it just gets over my head alot. And everyday all I do is go to ppcgeeks and xda looking for the newest and greatest software.
It might be a stupid reason, but I think I may switch to the pre just because its all there and set, you dont have to install differen't roms, change theme's, reg edits etc. Its all there, and all you have to do is install apps. I spend like 1-2 hours a day looking up windows mobile stuff because its so exciting and fun, and I think with the pre I won't be doing as much, so the only reason I would switch is so I am not so addicted to my phone! haha But of course this all depends how much a pre will cost on ebay..... |
Re: Palm Pre from Sprint Sooner than you think, TP owners, will you switch?
I'm planning on selling the Touch Pro I bought with a bad ESN that I've used as a guinea pig for some stuff and buy a Pre once it comes out. I'm about ready for something new to play with, but I don't want to jump ship completely. I'll still keep my other Touch Pro and use it for the most part.

There will also be a huge app store. As far as an internet sharing hack not being available, stop stealing. Pay for an aircard. |

did palm say they would release the code? for application creation? just asking maybe i missed it .... SInce this is a new OS ( web based ) i would think that building apps would require some code sharing from PALM...maybe im wrong... |
Re: Palm Pre from Sprint Sooner than you think, TP owners, will you switch?
im sorry i just had to say internet sharing is not stealing...theres no difference in surfing the web from the phone or a laptop...it just makes it convenient...and because i actually used to pay for it before i switched over to an employee plan...which everything is inculded in as well as free downloads...
