Review: Palm Pre

Does the Pre offer speaker independent voice dialing?
To be honest voice control over things like the play list would be very nice but not a must have but voice dialing when using a Bluetooth headset is just to handy.

Does anyone know of a third party browser for the palm pre? I cant accesss some sites.

1.) Are you able to use Yahoo!! instant messenger?

2.) I heard some people saying that the phone wiggles a little bit at the slide. Is this true for all of them of just some?

So Verizon's version of the Palm Pre will be out soon, and it will have double the flash memory (16GB) and double the RAM of Sprint's version. Do you guys think Sprint will get the new version of the phone too? Was thinking about upgrading my phone to the Pre, and I'd hate to buy it if they will be offering an improved version of it soon.

I love love love the phone, and I was a die hard Blackberry boy for four years! But, there is a few things I don't like about the Pre and need help correcting it. One thing is the contacts options. I linked my facebook contacts and it puts all 297 friends in my contact list. I only want SOME of them to show up because I don't call but about 60 of them, but it won't let you delete them one at a time, it's either all or nothing. Same with my email. I have about 97 email addresses in my gmail and it pulls all of them into my contact list as well. Like I said, I ONLY want the contacts that I call in my contact list. Is there anyway to fix this? Also, where can I download some good ringers? It only lets me listen to them on zedge.net, n...

I just got my Pre thursday and I'm having trouble with it syncing all my gmail, outlook and facebook contacts. On my blackberry pearl my facebook info use to sync right away and would show the person's picture from facebook. Does anyone know how to make the phone update with this info?

so im looking in the app catalog and i cant find the app for bank of America for mobile banking, my sister has the per and she has it on three, dose anyone know how i can get it or why its not in the app catalog anymore..it dose not look like three is much really in the app catalog at all

so now that they tweeted that it will actually be available on vzw in early 2010 I gotta make a decision. I've never had a pda on any network. I am on vzw now with a flip phone. I'm test driving the Pre on Sprint now and really like it, and all the 3rd party apps and all. I still think the vzw network has better coverage in my area... and honestly I don't care about the plan price difference. My main concern about waiting on the pre for verizon is whether they will cripple the crap out of it and stop me from getting all those delicious 3rd party apps. anyone with experience on this matter please let me know.

Ok so I like my PRE very very much but I would LOVE it if it had on board keyboard, does anyone know if palm will make this happen?
It sucks when you want to respond to a text with "ok" and you have to slide the phone up to do ALOT of stuff....

I had a Palm Treo and was able to search my calendar to see when an event was to occur. To my disappointment, 😢 the Pre does not have this feature. Is there an app that will allow a calendar seach? Looking!

I have created a card for a website. I need to know how to delete this icon.

Thank You

Brandon

does anyone use this? if so did you like it and what kind of things did you get? did it cause any problems with your phone

could someone give me a link to where one would sign up for the beta. I know its not out yet but I believe that there is a sign up for the beta.

Does the new iTunes update mess up the Pre sync with the iTunes have not tried it yet just wondering. Another question what is a good hard case for the pre?

Any opinions on Chapura WebOS sync software or alternate suggestions on any better 3rd party sync software for WebOS? I don't want any of my "private" data being wirelessly uploaded and stored on an online server such as Google, Yahoo or Palm. So, I'm looking for a viable workaround to cutoff any back up function other than to a designated laptop or desktop of my choice.

Palm finally released the update for the Pre. It's webOS 1.3.1, and has already been out for the Pixi.

Some of the new features, Yahoo! has been added to Synergy, TXT message forwarding, custom ringtones, improved notifications, improved calender, overall faster, plus

It is my understanding that the full 8 GB of internal memory can not be used for storing apps. However, I think there is a way to increase this.

Can anyone provide me with information as to how to increase the amount of memory available for apps?

What are some of the most useful/best apps for the Pre?

Thanks.

I am new to the palm...

Are you able to forward text messages?

Does the new upgrade increase battery life?

Are there any other issues I should know before buying this phone? Is Palm Pre better than an Android phone like Hero?

Does anyone know if a camcorder will be on the new update? I heard that update 2.0 will be out Mid-October and it will have a camcorder. Anyone know anything about this?

how do I get flash player

how do I forward a txt message

thanks in advance
