First off. I held one in my hands today. It’s not thick at all It’s smaller than the iPhone (I put them side by side) and about the same thickness

The phone as a whole felt very cheap. A plastic cheap feel in my hand. The iPhone feels very solid in your hand. This does not. The keypad is rubber like the centro.

I didn’t power it up because I was told that I was not aloud too. Oh well but I at least got to hold it in my hand and see what it felt like.

Untill I get to mess around with one once powered up. I will stick with my iPhone

Actually compare to the iPhone and G1 the Pre is smaller. Oh and G1 is the ugliest of the three!

I’ve been selling wireless phones for years now and…

I NEVER EVER recommend nor bother to sell ANY PALM phones.

Why… horrible reception, horrible product quality, although a stable OS its incredibly slow.

Scratch 1… i have sold the Palm phones before but ONLY to Doctors & Realtors, cause Medical Programs have been avaiable on Palm for some time and Realtors love the inferred beam to open lock boxes. Otherwise paper weight

Wow a lot of people make judgement of these lame videos and photos. Just wait til it comes out and check for your self. Oh and @ Lenny I’m in NY and where does Sprint Service suck…just wondering.

Informed, good link choice. That ought to shut people up about size. Its smaller than everything INCLUDING the centro, and the centro is SMALL. Nice!

Why does it matter if its released at/around the iPhones release? DIFFERENT CARRIERS. Non-competitive. And they’ll get first chance at rounding up all the free-agent customers that are out of the contract. Its SMART timing.

You guys/gals, obviously the woman has small hands, look at the other videos of the Pre floating around the Net. On a side note, I remember seeing this porn actress on a talk show, she said the Adult industry purposely chooses tiny woman to give the allusion the guys are big. Get it?

BGR, Dude.. “today a video just surfaced…” I can guarantee you got this from me.. From either on Twitter or TreoCentral. I’ve posted this video a ton of times and no one ever saw it.. And now, you’re trying to take credit, talkin about “new video just surfaced”. lol, WTF, Inside Sprint was right, ya’ll a joke.. a damn joke.

Unfortunately, Sprint/Nextel service is horrible in New York. AT least it was for me, and quiet few people I know. So it would not meter what kind soap dish they can bring to the market. Everyone was jumping about G1 phone, and it is still sucks. Next tell in line….

Don’t knock it til you try it. – It’s a pretty nice phone. One of, if not THE, nicest I’ve ever messed with. Yea, it’s big but not THAT big, it’s not quite as big as a treo pro which isn’t that big in and of itself. Just wait another month or so folks. Pre Day D-Day is coming.

@Doug,
I think the hype was high when there was a shroud of mystery about the phone and the Palm execs were beating the “better than iPhone” drums. Now that we know its limitations, and the fact they waited so long, the excitement and momentum is dying out already. Your right, they should have released it when the momentum was there. This now has the feel of “just another good smartphone” not what the execs were touting before.

This does seem like an interesting device though, it just won’t be a game changing phone. I just hope it delivers so this can be Sprints first good phone. Their best and most advertised phone right now is the Instinct, and we all know that did not do as well.

@Doug…the hype is still high, so high in fact, that you took the time to read the article, watch the video and post a comment.

Doug — Wed, 13 May 2009 14:35:54 +0000

I dont buy the small hands theory. Look at every other phone Palm has had(except for the centro maybe), they are thick phones. Sprint and Palm screwed this one up. They should have released this a lot earlier while the hype was still very high.
