Yeah it seems like it will be a very nice phone. It will support flash later on this year, tube8 FTW.

Re: Palm Pre

Probably won't get it the first day, but it's on my radar.

I'll read what other people are saying about after they get it.

Re: Palm Pre

I think there is some huge deal about how all of the apps run on the phone, supposedly better than the iphone (background wise) cannot remember at the moment. Its been awhile since i was reading about this

Unlike the iPhone which uses a hacked/downsized version of OS X, this Phone uses a Linux-based OS that was built from the ground up to work with a wireless device. Talk about ingenuity -- it will source your contacts information from Outlook, Google, Facebook, wherever ... and automatically integrate them. Look up someone. You want to email, call, post on their Facebook profile? Your choice.

Multitasking -- run 20 apps at the same time if you want to. And it's fast enough to handle them all. Flip through running applications like a card deck. Notifications pop-up in a bar at the bottom of the screen so you can respond to them without having to leave what you're doing. You can launch any app from anywhere ... no more of this "close what you're doing, go back to the home/launcher page" . You just make a gesture and the launcher bar thingamajig slides in a bar across your screen.

Re: Palm Pre

Best Buy will have this for $199 outright instead of $299 with a mail in rebate. Just thought you all would want to know.

Re: Palm Pre

There is alot more to the phone but you get the direction they're headed

They have tons of apps that you can download and it isnt all in one store either

along with that they have more of these phones coming out to suit everyone so keep an eye out. Im not sure i like the keyboard myself, but the system itself seems like a beast

Re: Palm Pre

DO WANT.

I love my BlackBerry, but after my contract expires this will be my next phone for sure.
