Palm’s new handset: Pre-mature hype?
There are many who would argue that Palm’s future success rides on the shoulders of of webOS, if not the Pre itself. While it most certainly seems like an exciting device, there are plenty of skeptics out there. Even those who were lucky enough to parade around with their units weren’t that impressed when they first got the handset. A recent survey conducted by ChangeWave Research is now showing that prospective smartphone buyers are looking to RIM or Apple first — of 4,292 adults surveyed, only 4% showed interest in purchasing a Palm Pre according to the poll. The most popular choices were BlackBerry, getting 37% of the vote, and the iPhone with 30% of the surveyed group. Add to that the fact that Sprint will be the Pre’s exclusive carrier and you have 1% of respondents who said they would be willing to switch carriers. Of course we don’t know how ChangeWave found its test group and we trust you guys much more — how many of you are going to pick up the Palm Pre, and are willing to switch carriers to do so?
So prove 98% of Sprint’s calls come off the roaming from vzw, otherwise you’re a liar and coward. Remember this number because it’s going to be following you after all post

You can’t read? Only type spewage? -That- explains alot.
But … once again … you’re mischaracterizing what I stated. I -never- said that 98% of Sprint *calls* came off VZW roaming.
BGR please banish the Troll known as Backbeat!
Shut up already!!!!!
Roaming is the same thing, if they roam that much then the calls come from the roaming partner
Kindly quote where I stated that X% of Sprint’s traffic were roaming *calls* off VZW. Ready? Go!
@backbeat here’s your 98% (which you used the dollar sign for)
^But if they have to ever travel, enjoy the roaming-ride on Verizon 98$ of the time.
Sort of like those Toyota commercials where they state … Everyone compares themselves with [Verizon} ... Why not just go with Verizon? Especially, since you're pretty much SOL without it [if you -ever- travel, that is].
Thanx, now here is where the recollection will be faulty so it isn’t a mistake
go ahead and say you never mentioned *calls* however, anyone reading will read the intended implication that your usage of the word *roaming* constitutes voice calling.
Still looking for proof, simple cut and paste if you can actually find that ludicrous claim
Marty-the-Cunt never was the sharpest knife in the drawer, was he?
Don’t know the guy, great deflection though
As stated in the other blog post you’re trolling in … it’s an aggregate number. Idiot.
So it’s an imaginary number that was pulled out the air, just admit it because now you’re not just obnoxious but an obnoxious liar
Since you believe you’re an HSBC banking official, who just happens to reside on tech blogs 24/7 under multiple names to game the system, and that you believe you’re man enough to back up the threats of physical violence you’ve repeatedly made against me, it matters very little to me what you now distrust.
You keep good track of my post but not your own lies, I’ll it a rest but know soon as you start trolling again this lie will come back
Edit:

… -and- a Sprint-Trolling Bitch.
Hmmm .. It’s a lie that Sprint virtually doubled its reach via its roaming agreement with Verizon? That’ll come as quite a shock to Dan Hesse, I tell ya!
Maybe Verizon screwed them out of virtually doubling their roaming footprint, but Sprint was too stupid to notice? Is that what you’re saying, BitchBoy? All that bandwidth Sprint is paying for but doesn’t have access to could almost make anyone believe they’re an HSBC banking official [but reside on tech blogs 24/7]
some have abandoned the hype train but it’s still chugging along and picking up more along the way
backbeat is imitating to cast Don Louie Cantone in the light others see cast off him. You did good til your true nature showed with the insults.
Don this post is old. I’m sure its already been discredited already by a more current post by BGR. Attack me at another recent post…lol…
Keep up the lame work, pet. Good boy
