The Palm Pre by Sprint
I broke down and got one of these just a few minutes ago. If anyone has one and has some tips, this is a good place and I'd really appreciate it. I really loved my Instinct, but everything pointed to this phone giving the iphone a run for the money.

Sprint GPS is a huge feature for my money, and the NFL programs available kick ass. This phone has an OS like nothing I've ever seen on a cell phone. It is just ****ing ridiculous how easy it is. The screen is brilliant, and I love the pinch feature to zoom in and out ala the iphone.

There are some definite downsides to it. The keyboard is ridiculously small, and it should be horizontal rather than vertical. There aren't many apps to this point but the phone just released yesterday so I'm confident that will change. No video playback to this point, but it's coming from everything reported. It also has 8gb of memory built into it, but no expansion port for memory cards. That really sucks for people like me who use their phones like an Ipod.

Overall, I think it's smokin right out of the box and is only going to get better as we move forward. It's definitely the best phone on the market right now outside of the Iphone, and certainly Sprint's best option IMO. Anyone have one? Anyone gonna get one? What say ye?

Evidently Palm is in danger of bankruptcy:

They'll probably get bought, though, so I doubt it will become dead tech.

Yeah, I'm thinking about waiting around 6 months after it comes out...just for them to push out some updates and work out some bugs.

It's been dead tech since the Pre was released. They're finished.

Well, the people in this thread disagree. They love the thing. I have no dog in this fight, since I'm still rocking a dumb flip phone.

The Pre has served me EXTREMELY well for the last year and when I upgrade in 2-3 months I won't regret having had it at all... in the end I knew Android would probably replace it... but I'd much rather have had the Pre than anything before Android 2.1

I'm sticking with it. I love WebOS and see no reason to adopt an inferior UI just because everyone else is.

I have no problems with the phone and tech at all. It's just that Palm is a sinking ship into bankruptcy. I didn't expect the Pre to turn around the company, and it clearly hasn't. Not enough people are buying them and there's just too much competition. Palm is just about finished.
