Cons: Poor battery life, limited apps compared to IPhone.

IntroductionI am not a cell phone junkie. In other words, I'm never the first person with a new phone (too cheap) nor am I a regular reader of cellphonescoops.com to find out when the new phones are coming out (no time). I am, ...

I was looking for an upgrade from my now ancient "V" phone, and was considering Blackberry's Curve, the iPhone, and the Palm Pre. Ultimately I bought a Palm Pre, two days ago. I'm going to address the factors that were important to me, and why I am happy ...

Pros: Superior multitasking, slick software overall.
Cons: Awful keyboard, less carefully designed than iPhone, dismal Sprint service

iPhone v Pre What is a Pre? You would have to have been hiding in a cave to not know about iPhone, but how about the Pre? Pre is Palm's belated response to the iPhone juggernaut. It adds long overdue features like multitasking to iPhone's one ...

Pros: Great Form Factor. Crisp Screen. Fast Camera. PalmOS Is Wonderful!
Cons: No Voice Dialing. Limited App Catalog. Battery Life Questionable.

So, here I am 2 days shy of a full month's usage of my Palm Pre on Sprint.  If you read my iPhone review, you know how disappointed I was with it (and that was almost a year ago).  I understand a lot has changed, but not enough to warrant my ...

Pros: Intuitive WebOS navigation.Superior contacts.Outstanding screen.Real multi-tasking.Great web browser.Excellent camera.
Huge future potential.
Cons: GPS and data connectivity.Missing features (voice dial, video record)Phone app lag.

There are lots of reviews of the Pre out there (but only one other on Epinions, so far). I will try and concentrate on the key facts rather than detailing ALL the information.To cut to the chase, I highly recommend the Pre. It has some limitations and ...

Pros: Crisp Camera, Slide out Keyboard, Sprint Network, Mult-Tasking Application, Decent battery life
Cons: No zoom on camera, No onscreen keyboard, Very few applications

The primary reason I chose the Palm Pre is because it was on the Sprint network which is where my family plan resides.  My wife owns a Blackberry and I own an iTouch so I will compare and contrast the Palm Pre versus 2 of the other main smartphones ...

Pros: OS, multi-tasking, tethering capabilities, and future application, and cost effective.
Cons: Phone is platic-ee with proprietary USB connections. No video recorder, not an iphone competitor.

I live in a household in a wonderland of cell phones. Recent past phones, 2 generations of Motorola Q’s, HTC Moguls ppc 6600 and 6800, HTC Touch. Current phones: Wife with LG Lotus, 8 year old son with the Samsung Highnote, an extra line with an ...

Pros: If phone not defective, then the phone its alot of fun, great camera.
Cons: Low battery life, small keyboard keys, software issues, no video, few ring tones.

I bought a Palm Pre from Sprint for which I paid close to $400.00 and after adding accessories the bill came to over the amount above. I owned the phone for 2 months, and then during text messaging the phone became very hot and it totally froze. I ...

Pros: screen, camera, OS, touchstone wireless charging
Cons: battery life,  play in the slide when closed , keyboard takes getting used to.

Now, let me be clear.  I am a tech junkie.  I'm 25 and I can't help it even when I was a wee chap I was addicted to nintendo.  but that all aside.  I bought my pre about 2 1/2 months ago.  i had followed it since it's annoucement ...

Pros: Slick, efficient, easy to operate, camera takes great pictures, durable
Cons: It is a costly phone, battery life is for one day, no voice recognition

The Palm Pre is a slick, technologically advanced phone that is very user friendly to use. After one month of use and I couldn't be happier.

Pros: Unique keyboard, Universal Search, Push Email, Multi-touch Screen, Nice Form Factor, Multitasking
Cons: Battery Life (get an extended battery), only on Sprint

There is no other phone released in 2009 that can compare to the Palm Pre. Out of the box, the Palm Pre can do more than other smartphone on the market: Blackberry, iPhone or Android.

The Palm Pre has a sliding keyboard which nicely hidden, and very effective. The proximity sensor is really cool, I didn't know about it before I got the phone. The screen turns off when it is next to your face. The Pre also is great at multitasking many applications, I use it to keep the weather app, email, music app, text messaging app, and a webpage open at one time.
Another addicitive feature is the universal search, you type anything and it searches the phone, or allows you to search the web. This is something really addicitive, and will make it hard for anyone to switch to another phone after using this feature.
