Palm Pre Owners Step This Way

How about the Treo PRO by Palm vs. the Palm Pre???

They are offered at the same price. Treo has Microsoft mobile, touchscreen and qwerty, wifi...only drawback is that it doesn't have the new operating system, and it's not a world phone, and the keyboard is small (but so is the Pre)...

Is it advisable to consider purchasing the Treo PRO over the Palm? (Looking to buy one or the other TODAY)
Don't waste your time with the Treo Pro because Windows Mobile will end up pissing you off. It gives a few ooohs & ahhhs at first but it will be followed imediately by GATDAMMITs & UGGHHHs. A lot of us who have Pres now had WM prior & don't regret the change.

Oh & you'll have to get the data plan no matter what. No way you get a phone like that & not have any network data usage.
 
Finally got my second palm microusb cord from J&R music world on buy.com for $9 - palm's store and sprint's site dont even have these and other spots wanted 15-20 bucks for it

there doesnt seem to be a way to organize contacts by name or business name etc - a company name with 2 words will be listed under the second word as if it is a person's name

I'm sorry... Is the cord just a way to move data on and off of the pre? Is there no cord that comes with it?
 
would you mind posting up the link?. Thanks

I found it on J&r for 9.99 but cannot come up with the link on buy.com

for some reason when you search for it on buy.com now it shows up as being more expensive and from other vendors
bizrate still points you to the right price

the cable is the 3420WW

looks like it out of stock now

The cord is how the wall charger connects to the Pre and Touchstone. It is also how you charge the unit and connect it via USB. The problem is when you have a touchstone its a pain in the ass to unplug the touchstone from the wall just to sync the Pre to the computer. So, I just bought another cable so I can sync without all that hassle. Problem is Sprint stores dont have the cables, or at least they didnt.
 
Don't upgrade Itunes if you sync your Pre with it-
Itunes 8.2.1 - released today blocks the Pre from syncing
Apple = some bitches

That's why I never used Itunes. I will not be locked in or out. Fuck Apples! Seems like shooting themselves in the foot to me.
 
Everyone is saying this app is better for syncing your phone anyway.

I told you already brother. Join the growing Pre coalition. None of us regret moving on from the WM world. Now if I can only find a buyer for my TouchPro :D
 
ummmmm yea.....



Why else would I post it?

no need for the sarcasm nigguh....i said i didn't want to assume... you said you just got it...but didnt really confirm that it would work......take it for what it is:cool:

The N97 is running WM isn't it. If so then that's the problem. A lot of these phones would be so much better if WM was better but instead it takes away from the hardware in the phone w/ a bloated OS that sucks up memory & is further behind the competition than ever before.

For me it was the other way around. Went from Palm to Windows Mobile.

Windows Mobile is pretty powerful, nowhere near as intuitive as Palm. But I got the feeling Palm was in its last days

The Pre isn't running Palm OS though so you can't compare the old Palm devices to this one. WebOS runs circles around both WM & PalmOS. WebOS is just what Palm needed to stay relevent. Trust me on that one. :yes:

99 cents for Micro USB cords (shipping not included)


I just got mine in the mail....

:dance:

Props bruh- saw this review on there though

VERY reasonable price. Works with the new Palm Pre instead of paying $30 at the Sprint store! But does not fit into the Touch Stone charger.

Do you have a touchstone?

Props on the price. Cant get much better than that.

nah man the Nokia N97 is running Symbian OS

I'm done with WM phones. My current phone will be my last WM device
 
I've had the Pre for about a month now and I f n luv tha joint yung. I'm still learning new shit eryday and wants we get new apps its really gonna be off the chain jo.

Oh the Symbian OS hasn't been getting rave reviews overall either. I don't know of many people who are making apps for that OS let alone runnnig it. Nokia fucked up by making that an exclusive OS. The Pre looks like it's on the verge of getting more support than Android from a corporate app manufacturer standpoint like the Iphone has & don't even get us started on the homebrew creators. :yes:

yeah while the phone itself looks hot and does cool things...users are complaining that the OS should have been a complete refresh rather than just the same old same old.....sound familiar?:lol:


I'm still doing some research though and I'm ging to go to the nokia store in the beverly center to check it out in person. But I'm heavily leaning toward the pre. The homebrew developments alone are really impressing me

wait until at&t and apple cripple/deny the google voice app from coming out on the iphone since you can send sms messages for free from it
Even if they do, there's supposedly an app that does similar on Itunes according to the thread about Google Voice. I really don't see the big deal about that app anyways.

if you have sprint and your data plan has unlimited text messaging its not a big deal
