Palm Pre Reviewed

mlingojones writes "The Palm Pre doesn't come out until June 6th, but the Boy Genius Report not only got their hands on one but also posted a review of it. They liked webOS, but not the hardware (especially the keyboard). Overall, they feel that 'once people are able to play a real unit themselves, there will be more than a lot of happy Palm Pre customers.'" On the downside, this review says the keyboard is lousy.

Re:vs iPhone

[Mr_Silver]

the iphone doesn't win on features, it wins on status symbolism ($800, really?), flashy advertising, and eye candy.

Speaking as someone who has used and evaluated most Smartphones released in the past three years, whilst the iPhone is most definitely not perfect - it does a lot of things right, far more than the three points you quote above.

In fact, it sounds like you haven't actually used an iPhone to be able to accurately comment about it.

disclaimer: i don't even own a cellphone

I rest my case. Why you got a +5 for guessing about something you freely admit you've never used and hence have no authority to comment on is beyond me.
