The multi-tasking on this device puts Android and iPhone UI's to shame. http://live.gdgt.com/2009/01/08/live...ces-2009/#more VIDEO: http://i.gizmodo.com/5126752/palm-pre-full-video-tours The way this handles multiple "apps" and integrates them, is pretty amazing.

Mik 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2009 Actually I paid $399 for mine as well but now almost all smart phones are $199. They are being bold with their price tag, I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted January 10, 2009 I paid about $250 less for my POS Palm Centro.. And you know what, I'm okay with that. The upside to this is that this marks a pretty big win for Sprint since we have been getting shafted with awful phones for a while now. The problem with Palm is that its OS is being seen as really outdated by a lot of app manufacturers and hell, the current OS doesn't even support Java.. Serious WTF. This sucks for me because I can't install Opera Mini or GMail, yet on my old really crappy Samsung I was able to. However, I do really, really like Palm's keyboards and overall the UI is pretty nice once you get rid of all the Sprint bloatware. I bet $399 is the unsubsidized price. No way that phone's going to go for more than a couple hundred with a contract. Which then of course means I'm locked into a contract with Sprint yet again if I want it. Hrm.

Mik 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2009 Take it back... Gizmodo is correcting their earlier report and saying that the Pre will be either $149 or $199 on contract - which makes it an excellent choice, IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
