got a pre to play with for a few days

d94 · 05/27/2009, 05:01 PM

anyone want to know anything? ask away and ill be happy to answer as best i can

one of my boys owns a few sprint stores and he got a couple pre's today
naturally i get to borrow one for a few days to mess with

initial impressions: its a sweet looking device, web is working flawlessly, the cards move around smoothly, phone in general is working smoothly, i can easily type on the keypad comming from a touch pro and the screen is just down right gorgeous

btw mine is the retail ship unit

did you notice any LED for notifications when you have a waiting email, IM, or missed call?

Ya Boi D · 05/27/2009, 05:04 PM

Do you have access to the app store & if so, what apps are available so far?

moltz2323 · 05/27/2009, 05:05 PM

What 3rd party apps did the device have? Did you have access to the app store?

chiefplt · 05/27/2009, 05:06 PM

is there any type of built in profile setting? Like the old profiles app for Palm OS? Auto mute your phone during meeting, etc.?

chiefplt · 05/27/2009, 05:06 PM

And can we see a picture?

dcoaster · 05/27/2009, 05:06 PM

Any microSD slot under the battery??

(No harm in checking, guys...)

Mahootzki · 05/27/2009, 05:07 PM

I just wanna see a pic, with this thread in particular in the backround... would really appreciate it if possible

MannyZ28 · 05/27/2009, 05:08 PM

Does it have any games? Is Pandora, Fandango, and all that stuff already installed? If pandora is installed, does it play music with the screen turned off, and how is the sound quality?

hows the finger prints issue?

Funny - did you notice that even the example in the Pre User Guide looks like it is all smudged up! I have a Touch Pro now and I am used to wiping the screen-side all the time.

Load some music and video if you can and see how things work. Folders, grouping, quality etc.. Pics would be nice if you can.

How is the keyboad specifically compared the the pro? Spacing, size and ease of use?

How is the batterry life after a day's use?

phone queen · 05/27/2009, 05:21 PM

is the battery like the palm centro sprint...

Beanis · 05/27/2009, 05:23 PM

Boot up time?

Pioneer · 05/27/2009, 05:24 PM

Is it top heavy when the keyboard is extended, and how comfortable is the keyboard to use?

its like a magnet..but nothing a shirt cant fix

BTW when you have apps in the background they're going 100% so you can see them functioning as cards and updating

wynand32 · 05/27/2009, 05:25 PM

I call hoax without pix!

Just kidding, wanted to be the first to say that. If you are hoaxing, though, a pox on you and your pets' progeny.

D'oh! Just saw the pix. So, no hoax. You rox!

mobileman · 05/27/2009, 05:29 PM

Can I have it?

moltz2323 · 05/27/2009, 05:30 PM

How about a video review?
