what the problem is, is all these RUMORS roaming around and getting peoples hopes up...jus tell us that their is an update on the way and not on a specific day because OBVIOUSLY it never works out that way

Palm never said "a specific day". That was speculation by users.

[Spader]

like you can visually see people and their tears on here

You can if they use this emote:

The last thing I want Palm to do is start rushing updates and wind up like Sony. They have a horrible track record of having to update the updates of updates because they don't do through enough testing. I've got a bricked 80gb Fat PS3 because of their 3.01 update that disabled all my Blu-ray playback, although CD's, DVD's and PS2 games still play fine. Oh, and they want $150 to fix their mistake. I can go without a PS3 until it gets fixed. My cell phone, not so much. Getting it right is much more important than getting it fast.

That being said I really want 1.4 to hit today The 15th was a really frustrating day, lol.

Yep, I see that working. You bet. With the maturity level, and the fierce independence of thought and abilities of the average user on here, and the wonderful tendency to take responsibility for their own actions and expectations, I really see them giving that privilege and responsibility to folks here.

Uhhuh...

Worked great on the Directv forum. And how is it different than preware and patches and all the other tweaking that people do?

Sorry you feel so negatively about your other forum members.

yes i know thats why these users cant be posting stuff like that...because a month feels like a year and days feel like weeks....

its not cool

[Butters3605]

Why? You think this is the last update people will ***** about?

No, unfortunately it is a vicious cycle, people always complain. However I am sure that palm has a beta tester program, as do most developer. I would assume that they are going to play their cards pretty close to the chest, especially in such a cut throat, copy cat market.

I just don't see Palm releasing to "public" beta testers. secretly or not, too much possibility for an uncontrolled leak.

That is not Palm's fault. They can either ignore the rumors or debunk them. If they debunk them they have to debunk all but the true rumors. That wouldn't work.

Also they would have to decide if enough people had heard a rumor so it needed to be put down.

They are stuck saying nothing.

[Butters3605]

once again these are FORUMS, not life or death press releases you are having to sort through.... regardless what you as one person may think is being an ***** its their choice to post and yours to not read it if you dont like it.

I agree with this.

All I am saying, It does not add anything to the FORUMS.

Now that's a solid reason that I did not consider. That makes sense.

[mishkinf]

Thats it! I cant take this anymore. I'm downloading the freakin oregon trail app to makeup for it.

[edbtzy]

i hope this update comes today or tomorrow...if it moves to march, no comment

[dkotoric]

At least we don't have Android or iPhone or WinMo and thus no idea when/if we will be getting an update!

Palm, thanks for the update when it is DONE.

While that is true, at least all 3 of those already have 99% of the features that the pre is already missing from start so palm needs more updated then all 3 of those.

[rogerv.88]

when the total amount of replies to this thread surpasses the total amount of replies to the "General Pre Complaints" thread, THEN we will get 1.4...mark my words.

[mqguitar]

i remember 1.3.5 coming out on a thursday to me like at nine. i feel it might be the same. if not theres just tomorrow. cuz february ends sunday and i doubt anyone works the weekend over there. and it might be verizons fault but cant be cuz didnt 1.3.5 come out in europe later?

[Butters3605]

And here is the problem, you have a very open ended February announcement for 1.4. you hype it up at CES. Then a few "possible" release dates get rumored out there.

If I was palm reading these forums, I would be happy to have the hype.

However, the bubble can only last so long. their is a definite time to act.

i remember back in the early days before releasing pre on sprint they had little contest in which they would pick the beta testers and this guy won the contest....
