Palm Pre Phone (Sprint)

las primeras semanas todo bien, se frizo la pantalla como a los 2 meses, me mandaron otro del seguro... actualmente sigue siendo mi telefono, y con los updates a mejorado. Aun asi estoy pensando en cambiarlo.

Im having problems with my touch sensor....this is my 2nd phone and it seems that new phone is same...the new video feature is great but it is low image quality. love the key pad but wish it was little bigger. Overall, ok phone. Not an Iphone killer!

I liked the phone itself, but I had numerous issues with the screen freezing. I went through 3 replacements in 5 months, then finally switched to a different phone.

I have owned the pre now for a month. Downloaded the manual from Palm.com, all 350+ pages. I found the pre slightly hard to understand at first, so I read most of the manual in the first few days. Everything became so easy to understand once I figured out some of the basics. Now I feel a little dumb that I had to read the manual, but I had to admit it.....and for a guy, that is sometimes hard to do. You know what I mean, we don't even ask someone for directions, but now with the pre and the sprint everything plan, you have GPS at your fingertips too, so no need to ask for directions anyway. Anyway, I did not see anyone else discussing the ease of using this phone as a music-player (IPOD like). My IPOD (second generation) doesn't function well since it is so old, but not too worry...... My new computer with Windows 7 took care of that issue. Window Media Player will automatically sync your palm pre with all of your music on your computer (even music that was originally under...

I obsessed about the Pre for weeks before buying it. I wanted it SOOOO badly. I'd never owned a "smart" phone before, and never had any intention of buying one until I fell in love with the Pre. It's not that I'm not tech-capable (on the contrary, I deal with this stuff all day long and just wanted my phone to keep it simple), I'd just never felt the NEED for a smart phone until this one strolled by, looking all sexy. If I had a time machine, I would go back in time and slap myself in the face and tell myself to snap out of it, and save myself $200. The Pre is fantastic for email, web browsing, and app-y type stuff, but it's the absolute, hands-down, WORST phone I've ever had the displeasure to own. I've been on the Sprint network for over ten years, so I know it's not the coverage. This phone drops so many calls it blows my mind. I can't even use it in my office (my last three phones were fine here) because it will drop the call in a hot minute. Were I in some sort of horro... Read more

I'm done. I had a Treo 300. Then bought a 600 the day it came out. Then a 650. Then a 755p. After the 755p, I said I was done. Then, I saw the Pre, and thought that I'd give them one more chance. Well I'm really done this time. The Pre is too slow to be functional. I've got 1.3.1 right now, and it would take me 30 seconds to go forward 8 days in the Calendar. This is CRAZY. They went backwards. My Treo 300 calendar app was faster than this. Same thing for the phone app. I'm done. Probably going to try a Droid. This thing has potential, but it's been nearly 6 months, and the lag time is too poor for this device to be used reliably on a daily basis. I'll have 2 apps open and it will tell me to close and app to free up space. Build quality is horrible. I'm done. D.C.

It may not be clear to you (it sure wasn't to me!) that this really means "for new Sprint customers ONLY" and does NOT apply to an existing Sprint customer if they move to a "new service plan". Sorry, it wasn't obvious to me. (I kind of thought the reason people make a distinction like "for new home buyers" and "for first-time home buyers" was because they are actually two different things. In the case of phone plans, apparently not.) No one seems to provide much detail about this, either in product and package descriptions, or reasons for refusing the order. Of course, this is true for all Sprint-related deals, and is most likely true for other carriers.
