"Several reviews came to the same conclusion: The Pre may not be an Apple iPhone killer, especially with the arrival this week of the iPhone 3GS, but with its multitasking and synchronization features, it may give RIM's BlackBerry a run for its money in the corporate market. Others note that in order to do that, however, the device will first need to spread beyond the Sprint network, as planned for early next year, to Verizon Wireless and possibly AT&T. Palm will also need to quickly boost the number of available WebOS apps, say reviewers."On Mon, Jun 8, 2009 at 1:10 AM, Dino K<[email protected]> wrote:ATT is on the 1900mhz which is worldwide HSDPAOn Mon, Jun 8, 2009 at 12:56 AM, Chris Penn <[email protected]> wrote:"although if they come out with a european or asian Pre which is SIM based you'll probably be able to use it on ATT with 3g" Yeah, I was kinda assuming that would be necessary for the Pre to work with AT&T. The true test is whether or not the Pre's 3g chip uses a frequency that is compatible with the AT&T network.

AT&T and T-Mobile = GSM Sprint and Verizon = CDMA :wq! jason On Sun, Jun 7, 2009 at 7:10 PM, Jeff Lasman<[email protected]> wrote:On Sunday 07 June 2009 06:31 pm, Chris Penn wrote:I haven't seen anyone crack a Pre yet...

To be honest, does it really need to be an iPhone killer? Hell no. The iPhone is overhyped, and I use an Apple MacBook Pro.
