Pure and simple. I just cancelled a contract with Verizon and moved to Sprint for the Pre. Not the iPhone. The Pre. I was a loyal Verizon customer but you know what? They keep screwing up and keep relying on their “network” but it’s not enough.

They customize their phones and ruin them. I had to flash a new ROM to my HTC Touch just to make it work. Verizon ruined that phone so bad and now the Touch Pro and Diamond.

You think I want their genius engineers giving me some sort of butchered version of the Palm Pre?

HELL NO. The GPS probably won’t work, costing you an extra $10/mo. and the phone will be slow.

No, I’ll take the non screwed up version of the Pre please. I don’t know who Verizon thinks they are, but they better stop with that ruining of phones. They’re a service provider, not a phone manufacturer, not a software company. Oh and not graphic artists either, the gradients on the HTC Touch cube were absolute JUNK. They actually let it go out the door like that. I’d be so embarrassed.

So maybe Sprint doesn’t have as much coverage…but it’s fast and works where I am. So that’s all I care about. Aside from the fact that for $99/mo. unlimited everything… LOL screw Verizon and the horse they rode in on.

Upscaled Pre II Jan 1 on V. That is a fact. Sprint has not said it is not the case and neither has Palm.

POalm can’t stay with a third rate and dying carrier for long

Verizon will have to settle for like the Pre and the Palm cousin. I see a little Pre envy

well as a rep for sprint there will not any PRE-sentation or any site of the PRE hitting the V at all. and that was spoken directly from the g*ds mouth. the announcement from verizon was ploy to keep verizon subscriber from leaving the network…duh! it sounded like a good idea but as you can see sprint will not fail to surprise the market when it comes to cell phones.

They clarified they’ll be getting a device like the Pre and it’s cousin, leaving out any reference about a date. Most likely they do some vzw branding like they used to do with HTC’s, neutering and gutting, but not in January

What area are you in and devices are your friends using? If you never have it for yourself any comparisons don’t really compare. Maybe about this time next year a neutered version that’ll cost more monthly

Edit: I wouldn’t get either because of a few reasons. And buy it not but it. Correction.

Sprint has terricle service, HERE. My friends have sprint and they admit they get dropped calls all the time. Everyone can only speak on the area. So when pepole say Sprint sucks, thats because it does in their area. I like the Iphone, I have only a few complaints. I also think the Pre is nice. I would get either because of a few reasons. If the Iphone came to Verizon and I could put insurance on it and copy paste, send mms and record a video without a program I’d defintely but it. The Pre’s keyboard would keep me from getting it when it comes to Verizon.

And for the record Verizon IS the best. They have the best service, and thats why I have them. You pay for what you get.

assuming the PRE is exclusive through 2009, that means the earliest VZW could get it would be the first of Jan ‘10. That is the first day of a long period of negotiations to get the phone, not to mention development to get all the features on the phone and what not. VZW lucky to get PRE by June ‘10.

Lmao@nerdherder

I love it how everyone hates on sprint. Each and every person loves their own provider. I have had sprint for 10 years and I have 0 service problems. And I love it how you act like verizon is good lolol. Keep paying those over-priced prices on crappy devices. Verizon doesn’t allow sprint to do anything so please stop acting like you know something. Everyone loves their IPhones but hates on the Pre because they can’t get one. Hi HATERS!!

The Pre is ugly, and the keyboard doesn’t look to roomey. Bring on something else. I could care less if we get the Pre, let me rephrase, I could care less when we get it in 2010. The OS looks nice though.

I want to see some Android phones )

why does it matter really to us who gets the phone really they both could get it but i know im sticking to sprint and that is my choice

If I can interrupt the dookey slinging for a second, does the Pre have a message indicator LED for missed calls or messages? I’ve look at a couple of the reviews and swear I can’t find an answer.

Your assistance is appreciated.

Sprint doesn’t “suck” as much as people say it does.
I have Sprint, and I’m usually good on signal. Sometimes I lose it, but what cell phone carrier has a perfect network? My dad has Verizon, which many claim to be the best. He loses signal and pays hundreds more a year for service. I like Sprint.

They have a bigger selection of cool phones.
And you can’t beat the price.

Oh, and people are forgetting…Sprint vs. A T&T. Sprint is much better.

@Don Louie Cantone

Regardless they will try to spin it to their satisfaction, already there are a few knuckle-heads trying to do that. Sprint and Palm spent over a year working on the Palm Pre, the idea of Verizon just strolling on in without breaking a sweat is stupid. So Sprint does all the work and Verizon gets a piece of the reward? NOT!!! As I said before, it does not make sense to bring the Pre to a carrier that has a competing flagship device.

I wouldn’t be surprised in the least if it was an exclusive agreement through the end of the year with renewals triggered on continued sales quotas. That gives Palm an out if sales start to slow, but allows Sprint the opportunity to pull off some kind of miracle to retain them.

@ Breon

Im a fool?? LOL, you just proved you obviously have no brain. Sprint is the leader of the four major carriers?? Wow, youre a complete idiot with a knack for being an idiot, lol. If there is one thing Ive learned about Sprint users its that they will believe anything and will stop at nothing to prove how low class their carrier really is. Probably cant afford the credit deposit needed to switch a real service provider.
Again I must remind all Sprint users that the reason you get good service at a discounted price is becaus Verizon lets you do so. Without the roaming agreement Sprint has with Verizon, you would just be on another regional carrier. Just remember that one day Verizon wont renew its roaming agreement and you will look like a royal ass. Breon = loser.
