I’m on my second Palm Pre and am contemplating a third visit to the Sprint Store.  Here are the list of grievances to King George III Palm (now a sub-brand of HP):
The Power Button Practically Disfunctional - I’m not sure why, but the power button located on the top right corner of the phone no [...]

Has anyone else watched this commercial thinking it was a Palm Pre commercial?  I did, only to find out that Palm hasn’t ditched the creepy aesthetic; but that there is another phone out there intent on killing the iPhone 3Gs: the Droid by Motorola.  Their advertising is to-the-point (much more so than Palm’s ads with [...]

The brass balls of audacity’s spawn has looked classic technology square in the face and laughed by creating the ever convenient and ever so cheap (free) tip calculator. Now I won’t have to carry around my Sharp Wizard and my Palm Pre, but just my Palm Pre.

Let’s discuss the Palm Pre’s Life Cycle and Expectancy in 3 ways: battery life, hardware life expectancy, and Palm’s sale cycle of the Palm Pre.
Palm Pre Battery Life Expectancy: Neutral Rating
One of the Palm Pre’s few weaknesses is the short battery life. This weakness in-part is derived from one of its strengths: a powerful [...]

I’ve had the Palm Pre in my hands for a couple days now. It feels solid but not super heavy or overly dense. The slide-out keyboard has a very nice swing to it, like it was almost spring loaded, and clicks into place very nicely.
Grievances First
I’m going to list off my initial problems [...]
