cheap, flimsy and dangerous?

clevin · 06/03/2009, 08:28 PM

the flood gate is open, all the reviews are popping up.

I think Giz's review is decent.

Pre-Me · 06/03/2009, 08:28 PM

***?

Hey everyone. I just spent 5 minutes with the Pre and 2 hours at the hospital getting stitches ... nice screen though.

spartadog · 06/03/2009, 08:29 PM

It cuts cheese ... and I'm not talking about the fart app.

Giz posted a video of the Pre cutting cheese with its sharp bottom edge when opened haha.

em.eggers · 06/03/2009, 08:35 PM

i havent had the pre in my hand... i just hope it doesnt feel as cheap as some people are making out to be.

Mikest · 06/03/2009, 08:35 PM

ok now that Ive read the full review it seems pretty fair to me. Some good things and some bad things there but It sounds reasonable. Odd he didnt have any problem with battery life like other reports. I have a feeling the next Pre is gonna have a metal back like the iPhone just so they dont hear the phrase "plasticy" again. Edit: oh wait nm, that might now work with the Touchstone

Im still getting my Pre.

Ya Boi D · 06/03/2009, 08:36 PM

How ungrateful, he's cuttin cheese with a PRE!!! LOL

jewel · 06/03/2009, 08:37 PM

In general I think the review is positive.

AdidasNYR · 06/03/2009, 08:37 PM

If I read one more time it feels plasticky Ill go crazy.

I JUST DONT GET IT.

I have held this phone and it feels amazing?

There has got to be different versions of this phone out there.

I just DONT GET IT.

But the multitouch! I can't tell if it's because there's a better CPU backing it up, or a better digitizer, or if it's just better software, but the touch is more accurate, more responsive and just plain better than the iPhone's.

all i have to say is wow

I'm hoping that it's just a review unit and it isn't as nice as the final unit.

That one extra tap doesn't seem like much, but over the course of the two years that you own your phone, that's many seconds lost with extra taps.

that made me facepalm

Without sounding like a ****** because I can accept its faults when I find them, I am telling you it DOES NOT feel plasticky.

I think thats just the new buzzword everyones using on it now.

Ill print this thread out and eat the paper when you get yours and think it feels plasticky or cheap or dangerous.

I guess thats how you feel if you held an iPhone for 2 damn years.

I knew there was a reason I stopped visiting that web site.
