The thing I think no one realizes about the Pre is.. It's not an iPhone. Period.

cough ...and it runs nasty Sprint...

If the Pre continues Palm’s history of working well as a business tool, excellent 3rd party business aps support with the ability to use Palm’s native databases for contacts, mail, etc, and integration with exchange (able to send invites, synch tasks) I’ll switch; especially if they come out with a GSM version I can use on ATT. For me, my phone is a tool; and as much as I love the iPhone screen I really am frustrated at times by the iPhone’s limitations as a business tool. For example, for some reason it doesn’t synch all my calender entries from outlook. It appears to only copy 2 all day events and i often have 3 or 4.

by the time Pre will come out iphohe Safari will be superfast as Safari 4! so he may do marketing and talky talk, but let’s see it in action first.

I will be avoiding the Pre. I’ve come to love the software keyboard on the iPhone. Having to open the slide all the time on websites and that, effectively makes the Pre twice the physical size! Also the “webapps on the phone” idea isn’t going to be very powerful, and I LOVE the iPhone AppStore.

the thing i love with my iphone and nokia n85 is that apple and nokia do firmware updates on the regular apple will just drop them out of nowhere and nokia does the same adding new features fixing old ones, I like that I like knowing that the expensive phone in my pocket is still supported by the company I don’t think palm has a record of doing that.

@cardfan: Sprint being "faster" will mean nothing because you can't do simultaneous voice and data on their EVDO service. Answer a phone call, your web speed is 0.

@Jeffdc5: Yep, I believe the Pre has WiFi built in.

I don’t want to switch palm is falling apart don’t want to take the chance. my iphone and nokia n85 sync well with my other mac products i don’t know about the pre. Nobody mentions if the pre is any good as a phone. does it have wifi?

for me, its not about that its made by apple or that its the "newest thing" its because its on AT&T and im not going to switch carriers just for a phone.

The Pre won’t have an Apple logo on the back, so it’ll just suck. Period.

The Pre’s browser is superior and should be on something called a webOS along with a faster network in Sprint.
