Palm Hit it Out of the Park!!

**deesugar** · 01/08/2009, 01:37 PM

I now see why they didn't go with Android, this phone represents the innovation that made Palm. Android would have been a step back and this is the phone to make the iPhone worry.

Sprint exclusive, sorry but I think it's worth moving to Sprint.

Yes, this isn't a Fooleo flop! This is amazing! Day one buy for me. Thank you Palm for becoming new again

So I want to know how easy will it be for developers who want more direct access to hardware for advanced software such as emulators. Can we run ARM code on it without having to crack the OS and figure out what everything does, or will APIs be provided by Palm?

I disagree. I only use unlocked GSM phones.

Me too. If you need an unlocked international phone look elsewhere. Bye-Bye Palm! Don't want to wait for Sprint/Palm to acknowledge the rest of the world, my T650 is getting long in the tooth...

**Typo Lad** · 01/08/2009, 02:15 PM

Yeah, this thing looks amazing. I was so prepared to be underwhelmed.

I just wish they'd announced a price

**LupeValenz** · 01/08/2009, 02:16 PM

Price doesn't matter...what ever it is, I'm getting it!

**miles4000** · 01/08/2009, 02:17 PM

I guess I'll move from VZW to Sprint for it!

**bigkenny** · 01/08/2009, 02:18 PM

hidden Vertical sliding KB, rectangle screen, touch screen, gps, wifi, storage space, 3.5mm jack, universal connector...looks like i will be back on the palm bandwagon for sure! i loved my touch pro this morning and now i hate it!

how long after release do you think the first thread about doing a class action suit will come up...

**cardfan** · 01/08/2009, 02:19 PM

The iphone will go on ebay as soon this comes out. Can't wait

since when would the price stop any of us

**PalmHead** · 01/08/2009, 02:24 PM

It was worth the wait! Now when can I get one?

**Scott_L** · 01/08/2009, 02:25 PM

CONGRATS PALM! And Thank You! All the years we've been shafted and you finally pull through - and in a BIG way. I'm glad to be on Sprint at the moment.

I can't wait to hear more from those onsite. I would have like to heard something about running old POS apps though. Regardless, it looks very slick.

**wongster** · 01/08/2009, 02:26 PM

sigh.. kinda sucks that since i am a canadian gsm user, that i wont be seeing this phone for a very long time... since sprint a non gsm provider is picking it up first...

but this phone does look nice, and i want it, sigh....

**berdinkerdickle** · 01/08/2009, 02:27 PM

I'd have to say it looks incredibly small and thin!

And the kb looks just like our ol smiley favorite.

**ZenithNadir** · 01/08/2009, 02:28 PM

I didn't see anything about backwards compatibility for old apps (not that a lack of this will diminish a lot of the excitement over what they presented).
