Palm Pre Review
- proee 17y agoWell I'm assuming the 3rd party battery manufactures are pushing hard to make a "mega" battery pack that will maybe double the milli-amper hours. This will of course add more weight and thickness, but it sounds like the phone is pretty light so shouldn't be a problem.
- mattmaroon 17y agoLet's hope.
- pchristensen 17y agoThanks for the review, Matt. I had consciously avoided reading news about the Pre b/c of the painful ride that the iPhone speculation news was. I was waiting for a review from someone I trust and didn't want to wait until 2011 when David Pogue picked one up. It sounds really great, I'll have to give it a look.
- mattmaroon 17y agoIt is really surprising. I left out a couple pages worth of why I decided to get one because I thought it too boring, but suffice it to say last minute reviews had me skeptical and I was counting on Sprint's 30 day return policy. I knew after about 15 minutes I wouldn't be using it though.

- chops 17y agoThis is a fantastic review. I'm one of those users who has big fat viking fingers and I was also worried about the keyboard, particularly with respect to the top row, which was one of the more common complaints of fellow-fat-finger-folks. And while I don't yet own a Pre (I'm on the list at the local Sprint store), I did try out the keyboard on a demo unit, and found the keyboard surprisingly nice. I've been a Treo user for about 3 years now, and am very proficient on that keyboard, but I have a feeling that the Pre will be a bit of an upgrade as far as typing speed is concerned (and not losing everything I'm currently typing when a call comes in will be a bonus).
