Question The Palm Pre
What do you guys think? I think it's pretty cool but it may be just a bit late for Palm. Another downer is it is a Sprint exclusive... thumbs down on that one.

Thoughts?

Looks really cool. I agree with you that it might be too late for Palm...and the Sprint exclusive really doesn't help them at all either. Nothing quite like having 2 companies that are struggling to bet the farm on each other.

That being said, if I was still on Sprint I would definitely be picking up this device.

And looks like the rest of the world will be getting one as well...

There will be a UMTS Palm pre - Engadget

Nice. I would give it a try. Why not. The only downside I see to this is by the time this is released RIM, Apple, HTC, etc will all have newer more innovative stuff released. (I'm guessing it will be available this summer.) This phone should have been released this past fall at the latest......

Totally agree. By the time it comes out, it will be 1 maybe 2 years behind what everyone else is doing.

Still, I'd definitely take a good look at this.

Well... they just updated that post... seems as if it won't be heading to AT&T or T-Mobile... says any area Sprint is NOT in. What a shame. It really stands no chance now.

I agree. To think that I was truly happy and excited to see Palm back in the saddle. Little did I know they had already shot themselves in the foot.

I was really excited to see something like that come out from Palm as well. My first smartphone was the Treo 650. I've always sat back and wanted them to do well. Can't win them all I suppose. Pricing on this phone will be interesting to see as well. Will it have Centro like pricing or will they make it crazy ridiculous... hmmm
