Both my wife and I got this about two years ago, thank goodness that we got the warranty because my wife has had to send hers in three or four times and I have had to send mine in twice, for screen issues, button issues, and both for just randomly deciding to not work in any way shape or form. Right... More

Not the best phone

I got this phone because i liked the look of it, and it worked great for a while. Then suddenly after 5 months, it kept freezing, then the phone went "offline" and would not start back up. I read that a lot of people are having this problem, and the only solution is for the company to give... More

I am very disappointed with the Palm Pre and the service I've got. This phone is not compatible with alot of apps .I don't know why Bell would sell a phone that isn't even compatible with Bell mobility to get Ringtones off of or some other apps. When I went to change this phone for an... More

Palm Pre deserves Naplam

I tried this phone for 7 months. Phone locked up and froze constantly. Every reboot one must endure a 5 minute boot up. As it has been in repairs 3 times, now it resides in the bottom of a sock drawer. Dropped phone on carpet, and screen shattered.
Phone returns from repairs with something else wrong.... More

An idea still unrivaled by other smart phones a year later

The Palm Pre was launched to early with an OS that required a complete about face for users accustomed to plugging their phones in to sync with a computer. 6 months after its release and 5 OS updates later, the phone is now the most underated smart phone on the market. The contact management system... More

Great phone, bad provider

I got my first Palm Pre in November of O9, and I'm pretty sad today's the last day it'll be connected. It's a great little phone, it has almost every feature you could ever want on a phone, the one I used the most was Flixter, and the camera was crystal clear.
It did have to get... More

This phone is very sleek. I love it. There are afew problems with this phone. One of the problems is that sometimes the movements on the phone ge mixed up. For instance, if I would go to use the back button, which is sliding your finger to the left under the screen, it would scroll the page on the screen... More

Title says it all.

Nice to surf the web, but sometimes the pages are missing content.

E-mail messaging is ok, but you don't have access to all messages.

Phone is disappointing. Butt calls, scrolling sometimes difficult to control. Answering phone shopuld have been made simpler with a butto... More

I bought a Palm Pre mainly because I have had a Palm Treo for years in the past which I loved..but I have to say the Palm Pre is a terrible phone. It is very difficult to text, slow and unresponsive, poor battery live, very few useful apps, hardly any for business, does not allow you to categorize your... More

Hi

Had the phone for about a month now, here is my beef with the pre let me just start that Palm had an opportunity to knock off the pedestal two best phones out there I-phone & Bberry, and it came short on quite a few issues

Lack of led flashing to tell you someone has called or left message,... More

First I'll start with the things I don't like. If you don't like the idea of using Google calendar, and you have a lot of calendar info or contacts or memos or tasks to sync, you might want to wait for a) a better sync solution... More

pos: amazing screen, great camera, and most important thing is the palm web os which is just sooo much fun and practical to use.

Cons: the phone can be slugish sometimes.

I found the keyboard a bit too small but that is a personal factor and the phone doesnt feel cheap at all.if i was going to get... More

Design is sleek and simple and despite other reviews my press version of the Bell Palm Pre is very sturdy and well made. The OS is simple and snippy and you can almost never open too many applications. The app store is currently small and still in beta but Palm has promised us many apps when the flood... More

The phone itself seems cheaply made. Very plastic-y. When you slide down the QWERTY keyboard, the edges are awkwardly sharp. I wouldn't be surprised if / when Palm gets sued because some ass-hat cut their hand on the device. (I hope I don't turn out to be that ass-hat.) The piece that covers... More

My touchscreen quit working after 26 hours. Don't know if this is well be a common problem or not but it happened to me... I also couldn't figure out how to fwd a text, but maybe that's a personal problem

I just picked the Palm Pre up locally. Originally I heard Best Buy was the only one authorized to carry them for the first 90 days... But I just picked it up locally, activated it, and I am playing with all the applications now. I will write back soon. It is on Ebay under
Item # on Ebay Item number:... More
