Pre Plus...it's been great. The extra RAM and the 16 gb is great... I have 8 gb of music and it's nice knowing that I still lots of room for apps and pics etc.
I also like not having the center button. Keyboard slider has been fine. However, there is one major frustration...the d*mn keyboard double and missed letters bug. I don't believe it is hardware related...it seems more software related to me. And that is why I wonder if that is why VZW hasn't updated us to 1.4.1 yet...they are trying to find a fix before they release it. (Or perhaps 1.4.1 makes the bug even worse, and that's why they haven't pushed it out yet.)

Actually, every time I criticize the hardware I have to remember that I have the Pre, not the Pre+. Pre+ users: how do YOU feel about the hardware, after using it for awhile? In the 3 days I had one, I actually thought it was quite good, but that's only 3 days!

That was because Palm OS was garbage and the Treo hardware was excellent. Now, however, Palm's webOS is excellent and its hardware is garbage. So it needs to make more devices with webOS, not more Pres with different OSes.

As he has pointed out, people have been predicting the doom of Palm Computing since the Pilot 1000 was released. Palm has a history of defining an industry and then letting things slip away, and then doing it all again. While it COULD be that this is the end for Palm (just as it COULD be that RIM is about to go out of business, or Toyota, or *any* company), it just seems like the tech media loves to find someone to dump on, and all too often its been Palm. > > > > Just start at the top and work down: > > > > RIM is headed for bankruptcy or sale!!

It *feels* like were in the eye of the hurricane and are about to get blown over. I dont know that any of us has any idea, though what the reality or intent at Palm is right now. Perhaps they like it like that! > > > > SSFM (thats Speaking Strictly for Myself), Palm needs to get its poop in a group in two areas: 1) adding back in the things the Treo/Centro could do that WebOS still cant and 2) dramatically upping the hardware build quality for non-Verizon users. If, *suddenly*, Palm released a Pre Plus Plus that was as solid as the HTC hardware (hmmmmmmmmmm), with Sprint kicking in tethering for free, and all the little touches that they seem to be ignoring that they *already did* in the Treo/Centro (and about which Ive complained), I would probably close my ear to the siren song of the Evo. The new Palm seemed headed in the right direction at first, with frequent incremental improvements that filled in the holes. Some of the holes are still there, though, and so it starts to feel a little like Microsoft who has some issues still in Outlook that date back to the late 1990s, or the old Palm that rested on its laurels (what are laurels, anyway must look that up) until RIM and Apple and Android took the market completely (in the US, of course; still dont understand the rest of the worlds fascination with Symbian and Nokia). > > > > My $0.02US. > > > > COME ON PALM!!! > > > > Cheers, > > > > Don > > > > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Alli > > Sent: Saturday, April 24, 2010 8:46 AM > > To: [email protected] > > Subject: Re: [Treo] Nothing since Thursday? > > > > Oh, don't say that!
