Pre team not just aiming for iPhone, jabs N95 as well
Plenty of time has passed since the Palm’s Pre announcement at CES earlier this month but we still don’t mind when new coverage pops up – especially if HD videos are involved. In this interview with Palm’s VP of Design Peter Skillman, we also get to see Palm address the Nokia N95 in relation to the Pre for the first time. Skillman is very tactful in his criticism of the N95 8GB Serko hands him and describes the industrial design of the Nokia handset as having “a lot of topological complexity” compared to the sleek minimal design of the Pre. Allow us to translate if we may: N95, old and busted. Pre, new hotness. In all seriousness though, we still love the N95 8GB we have laying around somewhere, or ‘Black Betty’ as we call her, but Skillman’s assessment is mild. Symbian fans should just be thankful he didn’t get into the meat of things and compare the handsets on an OS level. Hit the jump for the full video.

Man this is going to be an awesome device, can hardly wait
^You’re trolling again. Quite the parasitic addiction you got there.
This person goes around every unmoderated board to spread the message of disdain/hate in very juvenile ways with adult rhetoric sprinkled in because a ban won’t come. I see that some people ignore and try to get back on topic to no avail, does a troll ever look in the mirror?
^Just as with Louie, believing you too are immune from [or willfully blind to] the concept of Cause & Effect is foolish indeed, fool.
Truth’s a cruel bitch, boy.
This is where the mirror comes in. Moving along, there is tech blogger named David Pouge who is purports anticipation of the Pre and he isn’t alone.
Cause & Effect, genius. It doesn’t go away just because you want to cowardly avoid responsibility for your causative actions. Cause & Effect.
I agree that a head to head with an older device isn’t fair, they should’ve put it up against newer touchscreen devices
^No one cares, dolt.
I agree that they should have compared it to something that was more in the same genre that the Pre is aiming for. It’s obviously being created to compete against the iPhone experience. Why not show that? maybe the N95 comparison was a spur of the moment call. It obviously wasn’t very well thought out, that’s for sure.
They can show different devices the closer it gets to launch, a Storm, Omnia, G1 or fruitphone
^When it gets out of Alpha-code? Really? Can they, Louie?
Now this site reports a projected 3/15 launch so comparisons will ramp up now. Off topic, wonder how long the exclusivity will last?
^As long as possible if there is a god.
Is that a hint of you recognizing the Pre will be sought after by all but… we know
^No. Nor is it the opposite.
Troll.
The Pre has a following, people ready to leave your however many carriers and since you can’t convince them in person not to you’ll make a bold statement on the net
^What was that, MrMultiLoginTrollingQueen?
sprint = bad
N95 so much better.
