Re: The Pre came.. and went..

I can agree with you on your points.. however, there's one part that's still to think about... the price. You're locked into the phone, contract, etc. ... and there's no telling what or how Palm will give attention to this phone.. So, the money/price AND the conditions that go with it also bother me.

I've always early adopted many things.. televisions, internet services, cell phones, you name it.. in this day and age, combining all the gripes, etc. I don't figure it ready yet for all that comes with it.. and, yes, it's hackable, but when you buy a phone this expensive, you shouldn't have to hack anything.

Take another look in 6 months. Apps will mature, the OS will mature and if you know anything about linux/unix, it is the new jesusphone...

Tethering from laptop via Bluetooth 2.1...

I had a feeling this was the case, just after looking at the specs. Dual band, 5 hours of maximum total talk time etc etc... Reading these reviews simply re-enforces thoughts i had before, and i've yet to set eyes on the real thing in person. To me sprint has always been about gimmicky phones for people not too serious about the service (network availability etc). My ideal phone, if it couldn't be the iPhone, would be either a new razr V3, or a Tundra (both moto). On the att network.

On a side note, i wish 850 mhz was a priority too, since it allows good connectivity indoors. When you have 4-5 bars indoors (in a place without transponders like a phone/att store), you're most likely connected with 850 mhz.
