just seen the advert saying its the only phone that does what it does, but everything it mentioned in the advert can be done by pretty much any smartphone :s | |

It can't take a video and the camera is shit. This makes it a crap phone. | |

The only annoying thing I've noticed is that it sync'd my phone contacts and Facebook contacts, so now I have 400+ people in my phonebook :lol: Bit annoying, think I'll remove the Facebook link. Cheers chap I will check them out, I tried to put Preware on earlier so I could get the virtual keyboard, but got bogged down with the instructions. Comparison wise, I haven't got an iPhone but I have got an iPod Touch, the screen is definitely just as awesomely responsive, pinching and zooming is on par too. Internet browser is equally awesome, it beat my iPod for speed in a side by side wifi test. App Catalog is pretty barren though! The keyboard is taking some getting used to, and I desperately need to get some kind of screen protector on it as well. Very happy at the mo though, will be even more when Preware is up and running on it!:thumbs: Edit: Preware is go :cool: [Edited on 16-10-2009 by jezza] | |

Get yourself over to www.palmprehomebrew.com and www.precentral.net, loads of mods for the OS, apps, themes etc. I really really want one though, but the tarrifs are completely wank. Will keep an eye on ebay and see what there like.... | |

quote: Just in regards to the specs you mentioned, although the 3.2 megapixel isn't that much, I can live with that, my Sony Ericsson K800i was the same and the shots were great. At least I'm hoping it'll be an improvement on my HTC Touch HD - supposedly 5 megapixels, but produces shite results, though that's probably the sensor. The Pre screen is 3.1 inches I believe.. only 0.4 inches less than my iPod touch, I'm sure that'll be fine. I still really want one when they come out, I know it's a risky/expensive purchase! I will be extremely gutted if it came out on PAYG or another network where they don't bum you with the tarriffs. | |

quote: No no, I'm putting the Pre down at all, i'd much rather have a Pre than most other phones (if not all?) but the lack of certain features is quite silly, the lack of current (yes it's only 3 months old) applications that are 'as good as' the iPhones also puts me off for the time being. I agree that video-editing is almost a gimmick feature. Don't forget that the iPhone took almost 2 years to get the most simplest of features, copy and paste. We need the iPhones application database on the Pre, and them to work as well on the Pre. edit: the keys on the Pre are supposed to be quite irritating to type on, going to have to play about with them in the o2 store.

The fact that 3rd party apps (no need to unlock the phone or jailbreak) won't void your warranty and isn't illegal, gives the pre a big advantage. Plus Adobe are giving the Pre Flash, something that the iPhone won't be getting for a while (i doubt it will ever happen tbh). And installing features (patches) that allow onscreen virtual keypad, landscape modes, bigger launcher (ie: iphones springboard) is a piece of piss, just install preware or webOS Quick Install. | |

It makes me laugh when Internet homebrewers make the simpliest of features available. No video recording is ridiculous, same reason I never jumped on the iPhone band waggon as soon as it was released, lack of features. | |

agreed with jambo. but also the iphone got slated to shit for lacking features that the palm lacks again, and palm just isnt iconic enough for people to look past that | |

quote: Mental isn't it, same old story with the iPhone's original release. Devs on the web have made homebrew fixes for the keyboard and video recording (which is especially mighty impressive), but I hope Palm provide an official update, if I knew they would be ironing out the issues, I'd slap the money down now. | |

So the Palm Pre is available from the 16th October, exclusively on O2. Just like with the iPhone however the contracts are expensive, I said to myself I wouldn't get one due to the price, but damn, I really want one and am pretty decided on the fact that I am going to go for it, whatever the shafting. :( |
