Palm tired from building knockout handset and OS, forgets to update site

You most certainly already knew that Palm’s newly announced OS, WebOS, was codenamed Nova prior to launch. If you didn’t then we invite you to stop by slightly more often and up your gadget cred a bit. What you probably didn’t know however, was that Palm’s knight in shining armor was codenamed Castle. How apropos. The fellas at Palm must have been so exhausted from making sure everything Pre-related happened on time that they forgot to update the copy in an automatically generated confirmation email. You know, kind of like how the BlackBerry Storm is still referred to as the BlackBerry Thunder in some OS files to this day. It’s okay Palm, you did a hell of a job keeping the wraps on your recent announcements and it’s safe to say both the Pre and WebOS are pretty widely acclaimed at this point. Get some rest and then see if you can’t get around to cleaning that up.

Thanks, Rob!

    I wouldn’t talk about truth when you just lied about the 800 and Centro. No name, calling just truth because if you read the whole post it would’ve been apparent that this informed guy sees Centros and 800’s on Sprint’s site presently, as in at posting

    Just because Sprint is selling their remaining inventory, does not mean that the 800 hasn’t been discontinued.

    What the fuck is your comprehension problem, bitchboy? Still being home-schooled?

    So I guess the Centro’s discontinued too even though at least 3 new colors came out a few months ago and if a phone is still being sold in store and online it’s not quite done. Admit you were either wrong or lying, I doubt either will come from you most likely another insult by way of some schoolyard name calling that you see I’m not participating. Visiting a store, kiosk or online can verify my claim, how can you? Calling me a name won’t make your story true but mine is the truth

    ^ Who said anything about the Centro being discontinued, idiot? What I said was “all but the Centro”, meaning that all other Palm OS phones are nothing but a not-so-fond memory. As repeated previously, Sprint is merely a sales outlet for these phones and is continuing to sell their remaining inventory. What idiot cares how many colors of the rainbow a phone comes in? You, Princess?

    What _else_ is unclear to you, the one who mystifies with their intellect and insider [ :) snicker :) ] knowledge?

    The 23rd starts off, the 800 and Centro has been yanked, quickly the truth came out and nothing but insults have come since.

    Re-read the 23rd post, our favorite spot for the truth (not opinion) authored it. Palm is offloading everything, even stuff that’s not out like the Centro 2.

    Where is the explaination for the misinformation, no matter how much you insult me and my choices it still comes down to I was correct about the phones and you weren’t. I’m making myself look silly going back and forth with you

    ^ Said the idiot suffering from Multiple-Shill-Personality-Disorder.

    Your delusional comprehension of the English language has you believing that Palm has _not_ discontinued the 800w and every Palm OS phone *except* the loss-leader Centro. Good luck with that.

    The post police will be here let everyone know the disdain held for all differing views. I made it known how 2 specific names irk me and this genius combined them to get a response and decided to pass it on to others along with shill. What is amusing is how much thought goes into your post and some have good points but when found to be wrong content and a coherent topic are out the window.

    The only disdain is for ad nauseum, redundant virtual-ads on _ANY_ carriers behalf, Skippy.

    You define yourself with your every post.

    Simply move on and sin no more. ;)

    What do you want, I made my suggestion and now I’m trying to get back to topic. You are turning everything into a personal attack when proven wrong instead of the subject matter, that is the sign of a coward.
