GSXRAntwon Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 I splurged and bought the Palm Pre for Sprint today. Its a pretty nice phone and has a lot of nice features. I still havent had a chance to view every nook and cranny of this phone yet but so far I like it better than my Instinct. The only thing I dont like that much right now is the slide up qwerty keyboard. People are working on an app that will bring an onscreen keyboard. All in all, great, fast phone for only $200.

TheHaze Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 I would have purchased it if Palm didn't kill itself by signing the current rights over to Sprint. I wanted that phone since first rumors began ages ago. Also, the slide-keyboard is one of the distinct features of the phone; it's odd that someone would buy the phone but dislike that. I'm hoping/waiting for this right now: http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/24/palm-eos-on-track-for-atandt-release-second-half-of-2009/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSXRAntwon Posted June 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Its not that I dislike the keyboard really I guess, its just different. Im awaiting the onscreen keyboard to come out soon and then the phone will be complete IMO.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 I hate the on-screen keyboard on my Mogul. The slide out keyboard is so much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putty Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Good purchase. This Pre is currently up to be an iPhone killer. We'll see how it stacks up to the 3G S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though if I can't get the apps I want on the Pre that's what I'll end up getting eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morabu Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Good purchase. This Pre is currently up to be an iPhone killer. We'll see how it stacks up to the 3G S. they have the EXACT same internals cpu/gpu the Palm is A LOT faster because it utilizes the parallel processing available in the chipset, while the IPhone doesn't however, Apple does have a much more polished UI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
