@sean76 Your absolute worst carrier has the best 3G network in the nation. I never had a problem with Sprint, I think their service is top notch. Every carrier has their weak spots. Sprint deserves the Palm Pre. I never had a problem with their customer service, people just make up stuff to bash other carriers. Can’t wait for the Pre.

I just dont get why Palm would copy the iPhone box style of all things. This is their chance to continue wowing us, and instead they make derivatives of the competition. You’d think they’d innovate on the packaging.

This will be released on AT&T, and verizon by end of this year. Palm pre might stay with Sprint, but Web OS will not stay with Sprint for more than 6 months.

Wow, the Pre box. WTF! By the way, I saw the training video on gestures today. It seems as if they have omitted the copied iPhone gestures, which is part if Apples IP. So far this device looks like all bark and no bit.

@JDane07 – sucks that one of the best phones is one you can’t wait to be superseded, good business I guess.

Translation from PreCentral comments:

1st pic says:

“To utilise your Palm Pre phone, you must accept the terms and conditions of Palm and create A PALM PROFILE – by introducing an active email address.

Why do I need a Palm profile?

A Palm profile lets you access services such as automatic backup of your data and much more.

The configuration profile is different from the Palm e-mail settings in the phone.
To set up email, see page 11

How can I transfer data from your computer?

On the computer, look for an email to the address used to configure the profile of Palm. Click the link in the email to verify your Palm profile. The link will take you to a website where one could make data transfers at once to your phone from desktop organisers such as Outlook and Palm Desktop. This transfer is the way to get data from your old Palm smartphone to your new phone.”

All you guys on Verizon, Just relax you guys and every other cell company gets the PRE in Six months after it is released on Sprint. They only have a 6 month exclusive!

I’m not regretting it.
It’s currently one of the best phones on the network….but believe me, I’m shelving it when something nicer comes along.

they could have included a screen protector like the touch pro. that plastic screen looks like it’ll be worse than the instincts. oh well. i’ll just have to be careful with it till i can get an invisible shield. I can’t stand the plastic cover that comes on new phones. they just fall off going in and out of my pocket.

Sure….but at the end of the day, every Blackberry runs the same boring OS.

all the secrecy is what made me stop waiting and just get a blackberry bold. how am i supposed to trust these people when they cant even release the most important info: such as price, release date, BATTERY LIFE. cmon lol.

Considering there ISN’T a scrollwheel, it’d be hard to light up.

What you’re referring to is just a button.

Blanking out serial numbers while leaving barcodes intact (first small image, not the big one) seems kind of…silly.
