Diana October 20, 2011 How cool that you got to meet with an erxpet! I've been having problems with plantar fasciatis and my shins have been tight, so I think I'll try some of these tips!

@Ethan - your comment (#14) made me lose my shit. But not in the way that a Palm Pre does at the moment of its demise.

@drew j: lol What does having a iphone have to do with getting puss? I have had a iphone since launch and get plenty of "puss". Was not a problem before it either.

@former iphone user: Im sorry you have to resort to going to the worse carrier in the land. Not sure what you mean by your sprint bill is half of a att iphone bill. My bill is $102.74 every month unlimited data,text and voice. The same plan on sprint is $99. But you get there sh***y live tv and other garbage that no uses. As far as dropped calls and coverage go. I have had nothing but the best 3g coverage in upstate NY. And I had about 3 dropped calls all year. I have had sprint and verizon 4 years on each. Had dropped calls on both.

@truth: Your nothing but a troll. For anyone reading this . This person crys and bi**hes about every phone out there.

@ Everyone: If you dont like the iphone and/or dont have one WHY ARE YOU HERE. The site is called The Iphone Blog!!!! Go troll somewhere else.

It's dumb to do that but, he made a couple of good points : #1 can't deal with a pre even if your drunk.

2 He probably felt sorry after, but not for the pre but for the beer he wasted.

3 We all realized that it works better under liquid.

Palm should sell gsm pre in Asia, i.e. China.

That's really a huge market!

He could replace the Pre thru insurance and have the iPhone and a Pre.

I went through 4 of them for the same reason. I too now have a 3gs. It blows the pre out of the water in most ways. It still would be nice for apple to allow some multitasking though. I know it's possible because I do it with the jailbrake app "backgrounder".

The only thing needing a dunk is the Iphone. It is so old and outdated. The Pre and the HTC HERO handily whoops its ass. There's an app for that...oh one at a time...LMAO

Former iPhone user will come back if he leaves! Will realize how awesome the iPhone is.

I love my palm Pre & the fact that my sprint bill is half that of a ATT Iphone bill! My roommate has ATT & always has dropped calls & hi assed bills. He's leaving ATT when his contract ends. FORMER IPHONE CUSTOMER

Looks like the Pre is pretty waterproof. It lasts quite a while!

the pre is excellent device, lets not hate

Remember. Does anyone else have a fast typing problem with the 3.1 software? I type quick, and 3.1 has slowed the response time of the keyboard, I think.

By: Ethan

Ethan — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 19:33:32 +0000

Right. I remeber reading that the Pre releases it's bowels right before it dies.

Wonder if it's safe to drink after he put the pre in the glass!?!? I'm sure the phone released some crap in the beer!

He said the reason his Pre screen cracked 3 times in 3 months was due to overheating!! That is completely unacceptable! Enjoy your iPhone..smart choice! The rush to buy every new self-proclaimed "iPhone killer" often results in this kind of frustration....solution, just stick with the best & let the imitators try & fail.

By: Thor79

Thor79 — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 19:08:42 +0000

If he's breaking the screen that often, he's going to do the same to his iPhone.

By: cursiv

cursiv — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 18:02:37 +0000

So he will probably break his screen on his iphone in the first month?

It is just how careful and responsible you are. I had my 2g for 2 years and never had a cracked screen, and yet my friends break their screens days after getting it.

Yep, dumb... I'd like to try a Pre, but I do love my iPhone even though it doesn't have mms or voice dialing.

By: Bob

Bob — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 17:21:50 +0000

If he had bought an iPhone in the first place and decided to dunk it out of frustration, he would have had a second chance. I accidently knocked mine into the bathtub and was able to dry it out with my wife's hair dryer!

Six months later it is still working.

My guess is that was far from the first round of beers.

"hold my beer and watch this"

By: leo from miami fl

leo from miami fl — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 17:13:45 +0000

By: Jon

Jon — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 16:40:54 +0000

guess he didnt need the money he woulda made by reselling it.. even if only for $100. thats at least 40 more beers! dohh!

Wouldn't it take far more than one beer to buy a Pre?

By: farmdreads

farmdreads — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 15:37:18 +0000

Maybe they would sell more Pre's if they included a beer.
