UPDATED! Pre-Verts? Pre-Jects? Or Just Pre-Mature? TiPb and CrackBerry.com Want to Know!

By Rene Ritchie, Monday, Mar 9, 2009 a 3:30 pm

I wasn't at CES with CrackBerry Kevin and Smartphone Expert Dieter. I was at Macworld getting, you know, iPhone news. But even TiPb couldn't ignore the Pre and it's former-iPod/iPhone team designed goodness. So tempting is the Pre, in face, that we suspect iPhone and BlackBerry loyalists alike might stray from the fold to at least try it out come launch day (whenever that is). So, the question becomes, what to call them roving polygadetists? What matches up with CrackBerry or the Jesus Phone?

CrackBerry Kevin has been using Pre-Jects for a while now. TiPb has thrown around Pre-Verts. We've even carried the argument over to the Twitter (@reneritchie and @crackberrykevin -- just don't tell @backlon!)

Are we being Pre-Mature about the whole thing? Or Pre-sumptuous in not letting you, or much smarter and better looking commenters choose the name? We've even set up a handy, dandy poll in the forums.

UPDATE: Ah hellz ya! Dieter has got him a rebuttal going on over at PreCentral.net! Let's get it on!

Pre-mature or Pre-bankrupt maybe?

Pre-nups. They'll wished they'd read it when Sprint gives it to them the suffix.

Pre-nubs. This is a pretty funny post, the one at precentral is the best though, lol. The main problem with the Pre is that it's CDMA on Sprint for who knows how long. I don't know about others but I don't have the money to be jumping around from contracts and such. Maybe when there is a GSM version, but the new iPhone 3.0 will probably blow it out of the water anyway.
