So what are you all going to complain about next?

better Synergy (would be nice if we can filter what contacts go on the phone)

The Pre will never be able to run any 3D games and no major software company will ever develop for it.

Ok, I have to comment here. How many of you know what an LED is? IT IS NOT Pronounced LED. It is L-E-D!!! Light emitting diode! It is not the ball/button, it is a diode which produces light when electricity flows one way! To remove the stupid ball is great! The ball is a physical switch, which means moving parts. Moving parts mean fail ratio increases! Put an L.E.D. under a touchscreen means BETTER hardware! Please, stop calling it LED, it is not a sinker or even METAL!!!!

It really did have to be said...

**IcerC** · 01/07/2010, 06:33 PM

Nothing. I can just see it now thousands of iphones app developers easily porting over. Who would have guessed they had a plan.

Oh oh lack of compass!! Palm you *******s?

Wanna bet?
I'm serious. You say stuff like this, and I'm calling you on it. How much are you willing to bet that users will "choose Palm over the competitors".

Verizon apparently is willing to bet the price of around 400,000 units on it, but then... what do they know?

Build Quality (TM)

**D3on** · 01/07/2010, 06:54 PM

where they do dat at? palm how in the he** you go come out with alittle better pre for another phone company. is verzion paying you. oWell. going back to playing Oregon trail

**MeltedwireAC** · 01/07/2010, 06:55 PM

Does anyone think this IS better build quality? It is obviously re-designed, the center button is gone, the keyboard is all white. Maybe the slider will stay tight as well. I suppose we now are the Orange-Pre owners...

Battery life is worse for me. So I'm complaining about that. I got a whopping 4 hours today with light usage. And it's been draining faster ever since the update.

I wish the user interface was faster, wish apps loaded faster. There's still a pregnant pause when doing a lot of things, especially while in a phone call, that makes using it frustrating.

Today when I was on a call, whenever I held the phone to my ear, it kept cutting in and out -- my friend noticed it on the other end, said he was hearing every few words only. When I put it on speaker, the problem disappeared. Took it off speakerphone and the same thing happened, so I finished my calls with the headset. Something buggy about the proximity feature I guess, since it only occurred when I held it to my ear. That's bad.

Speaking of the headset, every now and then the phone will get stuck in headset mode. That really shouldn't happen.

Until the perfect phone is released, there will be complaining. I don't see what the problem is with asking for improvements on a work in progress phone.

The games might help with sales and in a roundabout way motivate developers. But it will be a while.

Did you actually read what I wrote? And have you kept up with CES? Palm is now going to both Verizon and AT&T. It's an outstanding device that will certainly be promoted by both carriers.

What's so "wild eyed" optimistic about thinking this is going to increase sales and developer interest? Particularly when developers can 1) port their apps fairly easily to the Pre, thus making the economics much more attractive, and 2) they can do so without the onerous restrictions that Apple has imposed and that has driven a number of high-profile developers off the iPhone platform?

Perhaps you're just morbidly pessimistic?

**buzzardjrt** · 01/07/2010, 07:42 PM

my mom told me to tell you that i like my pre.

**OmegaSupreme** · 01/07/2010, 07:52 PM

it make sense for palm to give pre plus exclusively to verizon. just kinda sucks to be a beta tester w/sprint while they get the ram upgrade... or is it not an upgrade. precentral front page says "yay", but forum mod seems to think otherwise in the "ram: pre plus will not 512mb" thread that's on this page. also palm's official site does not point this out in specs on the specs page for the device. is anybody at all able to confirm?

still diggin' the led button. led notifications patch helps quite a bit in positions that require security clearance.

overall i'm proud of palm for expanding. can't wait to reap the benefits from other carriers having webos devices in their respective lineups.

**buzzardjrt** · 01/07/2010, 08:01 PM

i was anticipating the next pre for sprint. after seeing what verizon is getting i am really excited for the next version on sprint.

i think they should call it the palm bat phone

im mad mine is not going to have an expandable grappler
