We are using Palm Pre phones nearly a year now, and think it is great. We get a
full day out of the battery. I listen to radio(over the internet) alot in the morning
travelling to work. I have a touchstone for charging, which is class. Only downside
for me is that Flash is not yet released, even though it is working on it (youtube
clips available of this) .... Adobe say they are still testing .... I have several
email accounts set up on it, and the way it sync's with Gmail/Gmail calendar is
great. The way alerts/calendar reminders pop up is nice too
It has proper multitasking(unlike the iPhone. OS updates are sent down OTA (over
the air). the App updates work the same way. It does lack a few apps, but OpenDoc
is suppose to be on the way. My favorite app (apart from radio app) is one called
Squeeze Control, which I can use as a remote for my SqueezeBox Boom(this is an internet
radio from Logitech which I would also highly recommend) Also I can connect the
Pre to my Samsung Home Theatre system, using bluetooth, play internet radio(using
wireless to router) or MP3 on the phone, and feed the sound to the Samsung.
I am thinking about upgrading to the Palm Pre 2, but not sure yet, might wait to
see what new hardware Palm release. O2 staff in Ireland are not very good at markteting
the Pre, many havent a clue about it and what it can do Palm have recently been
bought over by HP, and they have promised new hardware in 2011. Alsop interesting
is the fact HP have said they will, in the near future, be using WebOS on printers.
