That was another question I had. Glad you could answer that I'm not familiar with Amazon music.

I can't wait to use my Pre Survival Mirror to signal passing planes from the wilderness or start a fire in the cold night.

In all seriousness though, I gotta say, thanks to the OP for taking the time post pics and thoughts, etc. Very cool.

sorry to tell you that you are wrong....go to amazon and try to download a song and see for yourself, you can download it straight without any manager....if you dont want spend 99 cents then download a free songs

D94 i still need an answer for my original question. if you can respond to it, i really appreciate it.....thanks for answering as many questions as you can

@unknownpleasures -- you seriously need to make your signature photo smaller...

To download a song, you can do it directly. To download albums they force you to use their download manager.

the admins should limit the max size of the sigs!

So you may be able to do it after all if the Pre's browser supports downloading files inside of it.

1)when entering card view while in the camera app does it allow you to still see the image or kinda just freeze there???

2)the little lip at the bottom of the key board. awkward? annoying? comfortable?

3) does the calculator have scientific functions on it??? (im a college student it comes in handy ALOT on the centro =])

4)when slid open is it top heavy or did they balance it out well???

5) this last question is a tad random and i am not sure if you can test this or not or if i am wrong for thinking that this could work but it has just been in the back of my head for the longest. if you took a mini usb to usb adapter then plugged in a thumb drive what would that do??? would it show up on the device??? probably not...

I can guarantee that #5 is not going to happen..

Will it blend????

mkrajew · 05/27/2009, 07:46 PM

I thought the "mirror" wasn't really there for looks. It's there to help reflect the light from the camera's LED so more light gets directed to your target when taking a picture. Like how some light bulbs have mirrored backs to make them seem brighter. At least that's what I figured....no idea if it really helps.

Can you give us a list of all the applications that are pre-installed out of the box? (pun intended)

stinkybot · 05/27/2009, 07:52 PM

is there any kind of alarm on the pre? my wife uses her current phone's alarm several times a day for different things and just as a daily alarm for getting up in the morning.

I think I read somewhere where you can put on the magnetic puck it becomes a clock with alarm.

Actually, not true. Unless they've added one in since a couple months ago, Palm has specifically said that there isn't an alarm clock application, and that they felt it was a good area for third-party developers to step in.

You could always add it to your calendar and use that as an alarm clock, which isn't ideal for me either, but it'll suffice until I get a good alarm clock app.

JXC · 05/27/2009, 08:01 PM

am pretty sure, i read months ago that the PRE didnt have an alarm
