It takes a little while to figure out where it put settings and things. The touch screen you have to touch in the right places but it won't dial in your pocket. I like the import of contacts, but not the fact that if I use Facebook or Google to import I can't delete them. Keys are a little small for texting but you get use to them. It takes excellent pictures.

I try to use the Touchstone docking station to re-charge. The Pre is inconsistent in connecting with it. Internet access is (relatively) fast. The display is very readable and quality is excellent.

It's a good phone it took me a few to figure it all out. But it is great!

I love the Palm Pre itself however I've had bad reception with Sprint at work and at home which drains the battery quickly and impacts the call quality. Sprint did say they will ship me out a Sprint AirWave that I can place in my home to strengthen their signal which I hope will help.

I am a happy Pre user for 3 months. While iPhone cost $200-300 + $35 (mandatory data & message plans) @ month = $200 (or $300) + 35 x 24 (2 years plan) = at least $1040 + tax (on the $35.- x 24…) the Pre cost me $125.- (after “automatic” rebates from Sprint plus $25.- I got from chatting with Sprint while ordering…) – almost $1000.- less (over 2 years)! And, the sprint “unlimited everything” is about $10.- LESS that the inferior ATT plan I had before. So for me it was a no brainer! The phone is a pleasure to use. Some kinks here and there were solved either through support or solutions I found on the internet. Removable Battery – Huge advantage over iPhone! Battery’s life much better since last update. The multi screens (you have many screens open at the same time – phone, browser, game – anything) is very unique and comes handy (you can talk over the phone, search Google maps and brows at the same time).The FREE GPS from Sprint (though not perfect) saves you another $300.- for a separate GPS… The Sprint service is as good as ATT if not better and if you do need/want to use your WiFi – it won’t drain your battery like the iPhone and others. All in all, looking for smart phone, I can see any second to the Pre with Sprint – its chipper and overall as good as the iPhone (some Pre users say better – for the multitasking and the WebOS compatibility with your PC). •Pros: Removable Battery – Huge advantage over iPhone! And it performs much better since the last update. Superb call quality and reception (Sprint network). Small, slick with amazing screen Fast network speed and browser. WebOS is fast, and highly intuitive - easy to use. Synergy/ multitasking. Real keyboard (though I hope an option to use a screen/virtual keyboard will be added soon…). Integrated contacts, and messaging clients. Gmail Push. Loud and clear speaker. Excellent camera WiFi (that won’t drain your battery – unlike the iPhone and others). You can store and view (but not edit – yet) Msft doc and Pdf iTune compatible (you have to connect to PC though). Cons: Lack of applications at time of launch (no big deal for me and more apps keep coming every day). no auto text correction (which could have become handy with the small keyboard…). Things that don’t bother me: Keyboard is a bit small and keys are stiff (if you are a texting junkie – bad luck for you). Cons: No video camera (you CAN watch videos that you download). Camera has no zoom. To delete Pdf you have to connect to your PC (but the connection is a breather and has many advantages). Only 8Gb memory – which I am yet to use 25% of it…
