| Re: 50k to 200k? Even if Sprint is (or has been) bleeding customers, it doesn't mean that they aren't still signing them up. They just south of the 50 million mark (including Nextel, Boost, and MVNO's), which isn't bad. For their sake, lets hope that Pre will give them some positive numbers this quarter.

| Re: Nice to see... said by en102 :I agree - iTunes/App Store isn't all that cheap for many apps. Worse things about iPhone - Mobile Me = $99 subscription  Sync should be FREE. I'm basically paying $199 for an iPhone, and another $199 to sync it  thats nuts. Removable battery, and access to transfer files (mp3, pictures, take videos, etc should all be STANDARD). iPhone is made mostly to bridge the gap between phone, PDA and ease of use. I'd take a clone. Then why pay $99 for MobileMe? You can sync with several other free services. | |

Also, I shouldn't need a 'service' to sync.
Should be able to
a) plug it into a PC / Mac / Linux box and xfer data
b) ftp/scp/rsync data off over the web
c) email / calendar sync (IMAP or POP client)
These basic apps/functionality should be included, and a service can make use of them if you want to pay for it. Eg. I should be able to rsync to my own Linux box / Mac or Windows box running cygwin (or another rsync compatible shell).

A) You can do that, see my screenshot.

I understand apps can't sync w/o iTunes, and Java won't run - that's an Apple restriction (probably for the same reason as scp/ftp,etc.) | |

Apps can sync without iTunes. Actually, you can buy them over the air, along with music and with 3.0, movies. You may be confusing that with backing up apps? You have to have iTunes for that.
You're right about Java, but that hasn't been an issue yet and FWIW, I had to hack Java onto my WinMo phone too as there wasn't an official WinMo Java distribution. | |

I think some manufacturers license a JVM to include on their phones. WinMo doesn't include one but IBM and Sun do sell them. There was a free one you can download and install, but it was an awful experience trying to get it installed and a lot of the newer apps didn't work.
The scan that iTunes offers has never found a song that couldn't be used as a ringtone, but I imagine that perhaps if a record company wanted to restrict a song purchased through iTunes as such, the iTunes DRM supports it. I have about 10GB of music, probably $500 or so that's been purchased directly through iTunes. | |

| Actually most of those apps listed above are free. I have 134 free apps on my phone ranging from utilities to games to apps that i use on my iBook, like AIm, Yahoo, Skype, DSLR.com speed test, dictionary, and of course what iPHone would be complete without the FREE shazam app (which tells you what music you're hearing), i also have mywireless, a free app from att to manage my account, abc news feed, iTrans, have2P, have2eat, an app called Sunlight that shows me how much daylight is left in the day via a graphical representation.
I also have solitaire, checkers, chess, a barcode scanner, G-force meter, speedometer etc etc.
The only pay app i have is called Pocket God, and it's worth the 99 cents! 
If i had more $ i'd be buying certain pay apps, as they outnumber the free apps something like 12 to 1.

| Re: Looks like Palm blew it by underestimating demand Not to downplay it ( I use both AT&T and Sprint), most initial deployments are typically over hyped, and drop once reality sets in. I'm sure that both Sprint and Palm pumped investors hard on this one, as its their flagship, and there isn't much else for comparison besides the launches of iPhone, BB Storm and HTC G1. Out of those, I think only the iPhone has done 'really' well in terms of sales.

Palm is taking a big risk here, specially considering the upcoming announcement of the new iPhone, which I don't think is gonna be all that revolutionary, but may sway people who didn't get the Pre to it. They should have had more devices at the stores. I read reports that some Sprint stores only had 3 devices for sale.

| Re: Sheeesh...anyone think ole Karl's got an iPhone? Well, for one thing, the phone is not "better" than the iPhone in several key areas.
Firstly, battery life. I was worried about my iPhone's battery life, but it's really no issue at all.
Secondly, there's the issue of landscape typing. On iPhone, you have a large landscape keyboard which is easy to use (and will be expanded to all key apps), and even contains other characters (éå etc) by holding down the letter. I don't think the pre can do that.
Then there's the sprint network. I dunno about you, but the last place i'd expect to find reliable service is with sprint, after 4+ years with ATT/Cingular i'm rarely out of cell range, aside from places that are typically dead spots such as subway tunnels (even though some spots i do get signal even underground).
Also the lack of international capability. I am planning to take my iPhone on a cruise to the bahamas. If you have a pre, you better think about where you're going to be using it, or end up with a 250 dollar plastic brick you can't do anything with in your pocket.
Then there is the issue of apple blocking it from itunes, making the media player a moot point.
On top of all those things, there's the fact that iPhone uses a version of OSX, and therefore has a much more robust set of technologies built right into the phone that are not apps.
As my friend said, just a crackberry with a big screen.
It just seems to me like it will fill a niche and quietly fade away, that's just the feeling i get.

Here is definitely where I will stop you and say that I have been w/ Sprint for close to 7 yrs, I guess, and the one thing I tell people about Sprint is that there customer service sucks...but their service has ALWAYS been impeccable for me. I have never had coverage issues. If I am not in a Sprint covered area, I go to roaming, but roaming costs nothing extra as we're guaranteed national coverage. Say what ya want about they're customer service reps & tech support, but as far as reliability and service being available, I have never had an issue, and I used to travel all over the east coast, a little midwest and into CA. (Just for the record, I once went into Canada w/ cingular....they charged me .75 if people called me and I didn't pickup the phone, and then somewhere in the ballpark of .50/min if I did...Sprint never did that.)
said by FastiBook :Also the lack of international capability. I am planning to take my iPhone on a cruise to the bahamas. If you have a pre, you better think about where you're going to be using it, or end up with a 250 dollar plastic brick you can't do anything with in your pocket. I don't think that is Sprint or anything specific....you're in the middle of the ocean...if you're talking about while you're in the bahamas...again I have to disagree...my cell had coverage there, no prob.
said by FastiBook :Then there is the issue of apple blocking it from itunes, making the media player a moot point. Wow....REALLY quick to disregard any alternatives at all there, aren't we? iTunes isn't the end all be of all of media outlets...plus you can load your own.....I am starting to see your bias peeking through here.
said by FastiBook :On top of all those things, there's the fact that iPhone uses a version of OSX, and therefore has a much more robust set of technologies built right into the phone that are not apps. Tis your opinion, but Apple wouldn't be in this business if Palm hadn't laid the groundwork....how about cutting them some slack and see if they're aren't able to surprise you.

"Sprint proudly offers wireless roaming service on board select cruise ships. Stay connected to friends and family while lounging poolside, playing shuffleboard or just sitting on deck. You can make and receive calls and check voicemail using your Sprint phone.
Service is available for use when the cruise ship is in international waters, sailing out of range of land-based networks. Cruise ship service is turned down when the ship is in port."

| Of note I live in a small town that has recently had a Best Buy built. I went there Saturday morning, and the girl behind the mobile phone counter had a Pre in her hands. I watched her play with it for a bit, and she told me that there was a line outside the store early in the morning for it, and they gave out numbers. I would say there is definitely demand, and I don't know why Karl insists on flogging Sprint with hypotheticals and suggestive speech, like "apparently" and quoted "success".

| Tried one; decent device I tried a Pre at a Sprint corporate store last weekend, just for kicks.
The young lady who demoed it for me was really putting on the sales pressure. The thing I noticed most about it was that it is very fast. The web experience seems about the same as an iphone; I think they're both using the same webkit engine. I made mistakes with the keyboard because of the small size of the keys, but not too many. The battery was low so I didn't get to use it for too long. Calendar looks nice; that is something Palm devices have always done well (I used to use a IIIc).
The $2,000+ cost over two years and the thought of Sprint service though would definitely keep me away. That and I don't really have a desire or need for mobile interweb anyway. But it was fun to try. | |

| I loved my Pre!!! I say "Loved" because I took it back this afternoon after owning it for only 48 hours. In a nutshell, the Pre is a BEAST and can run circles around the iPhone. Given a choice between the two, I'd pick the Pre. So why did I take it back? After using it for two days I felt that it didn't do anything that justified giving up my $33 / month SERO plan (Sprint doesn't allow the Pre on SERO accounts even if you pay full retail for the phone).
It's a magnificent device and if for some reason I ever lose my SERO plan I'll certainly look into getting another Pre. In the meantime, I'm sticking with SERO and waiting for the Touch Diamond2 to be released later this year. I realize it won't be as innovative as the Pre but at least it'll work with my current plan.

| Sprint doing something right I just used their "bill optimizer" online to mix things up. Saving $20.00 and didn't have to give them a call.
While this isn't specifically PRE related and it's entirely possible that Sprint's version of the bill switching utility is sub-standard, it made me a very happy customer.

| Got mine works great. After having the centro for two years, I got the pre today and it works well. The build is a bit shaky like the iphone, the centro I used to open beers for 2 years, but not with this phone.
It is really quick. That is the #1 feature. EVDO is almost like road runner, and the phone responds quick. I liked that I did not have to sign a new contract and it was still same price as a new contract - so 200 and I got about $70 for an old nextel 830 and sprint katana which have been collecting dust for years.
Connected with no problems with my personal domain IMAP work Exchange, Gmail, and multitasking is great.
Only had it for a few hours so the complaints will come later.
