Palm Pre Is Out, Time For Discussion

Posted by timothy on from the post-pre-is-later dept.

caffiend666 writes "Palm Pre is out, let's discuss the status and compare stories. The first day seems to have gone as well as expected, with many selling out before noon. I bought the second at the local Sprint store, and so far I like it. Much more one-hand friendly than the iPhone. I haven't gotten the main apps to sync with Linux, but the media portion functions much like a thumb-drive with my Fedora-8 Linux system. For the Pre-verts out there, here's some Palm Pre dismantling pictures."

    Might I suggest that when a story submitter is too dumb to comprehend the difference between "to of" and "to have" that they have proven themselves incapable of meaningful participation anywhere outside Facebook and Myspace?

    It's not even a difficult piece of grammar. "To of" is quite simply never correct in any situation.

    The Viewty isn't an iPhone competitor - it's a touch screen phone, but it has different goals.
    I have one myself, and before I got it, I thought I wanted an iPhone.

    Then I discovered that most of what I like about my Viewty isn't possible on the iPhone. And sure, the interface has its quirkes, and the person who thought that querty keyboard should only be used for SMS and TextAreas should be shot, but I still wouldn't swap it for an iPhone, ever.
