At first the $199.99 price point puts it right into the battle with the Storm/G1/iPhone but then you look at the "after $100 mail in rebate" and that's an instant turn off, especially because Sprints' rebates are notorious for taking FOREVER.

Based on phone merits alone I'd say that the Pre is definitely a worthy challenger, but given that mail-in rebate I'd say they may have priced themselves right out of the game. As a consumer for smart phones I'm instantly more drawn to looking at the Storm/G1/iPhone's as opposed to the Pre for that very reason.]]>May 19th 2009 11:37AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/19/palm-launching-pre-on-june-6th-official/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/19/palm-launching-pre-on-june-6th-official/May 19th 2009 2:00PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/19/palm-launching-pre-on-june-6th-official/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/19/palm-launching-pre-on-june-6th-official/May 21st 2009 1:31AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/19/palm-launching-pre-on-june-6th-official/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/19/palm-launching-pre-on-june-6th-official/

I think its great that Palm is staying in the game, I thought they were out out, and would never release this product. I'm hoping it and the Eos saves them cus I read recently about them being predicted as a likely company to file for bankruptcy next year. The more competition the better. But that isnt the mindset of Apple, sadly any company who decides to make the headphones proprietary for their iPod Shuffle is WAY too Nazi to earn my business. Apple needs to loosen up on the reins a little bit before I'd ever buy one of their products. Seriously between such strict product requirements and its peoples fanaticism Apple seems a lot too "Nazi" for me. I dont care if they make awesome innovations. If they continue with that dictator mentality I cant wish them success.

Oh, wait, I just knocked someone....at least its because of the companies greed I dislike them. Not cus I'm a G1 fanatic.]]>May 19th 2009 12:16PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/19/palm-launching-pre-on-june-6th-official/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/19/palm-launching-pre-on-june-6th-official/May 19th 2009 1:44PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/19/palm-launching-pre-on-june-6th-official/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/19/palm-launching-pre-on-june-6th-official/May 19th 2009 12:03PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/19/palm-launching-pre-on-june-6th-official/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/19/palm-launching-pre-on-june-6th-official/May 19th 2009 12:06PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/19/palm-launching-pre-on-june-6th-official/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/19/palm-launching-pre-on-june-6th-official/His two posts are possibly the dumbest fucking things I've ever read.
Fucking retard.

"The plan is simple..." - No bud the plan is not simple! Teams composed of marketers, engineers, analysts, and executives devise strategies and road maps to determine the products post release fate; so I hardly doubt you can deem the Palm Pre's 'business tactics' as simple numbo nuts.

Did you honestly compare strategies to the moves Valkyrie?

Uneducated moron.]]>May 19th 2009 1:41PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/19/palm-launching-pre-on-june-6th-official/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/19/palm-launching-pre-on-june-6th-official/May 19th 2009 4:02PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/19/palm-launching-pre-on-june-6th-official/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/19/palm-launching-pre-on-june-6th-official/May 19th 2009 3:56PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/19/palm-launching-pre-on-june-6th-official/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/19/palm-launching-pre-on-june-6th-official/May 19th 2009 3:13PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/19/palm-launching-pre-on-june-6th-official/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/19/palm-launching-pre-on-june-6th-official/May 19th 2009 3:29PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/19/palm-launching-pre-on-june-6th-official/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/19/palm-launching-pre-on-june-6th-official/
iPhone = no expandable memory, weak sauce. ]]>May 19th 2009 4:03PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/19/palm-launching-pre-on-june-6th-official/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/19/palm-launching-pre-on-june-6th-official/
@elgee02: Sorry, there's no expandable memory in the Pre. ]]>May 19th 2009 4:37PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/19/palm-launching-pre-on-june-6th-official/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/19/palm-launching-pre-on-june-6th-official/--

Sprint is hemorrhaging customers for two reasons: its customer service and it's lack of a flagship device. People have left Sprint because of the iPhone, the Bold, the Storm, etc. The Pre solves the latter issue and I *hear* that Sprint has been aggressively working on the former (and I'm sure the timing is no coincidence).

Now the question is whether or not the Pre plus Sprint's customer service improvement is enough. I can only speak for myself but (everything else being equal) the Pre plus Simply Everything would intrigue me more than the iPhone and its plans despite the difference in memory.]]>May 19th 2009 5:18PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/19/palm-launching-pre-on-june-6th-official/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/19/palm-launching-pre-on-june-6th-official/
No expandable memory on ANY device is weak sauce. ]]>May 19th 2009 5:36PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/19/palm-launching-pre-on-june-6th-official/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/19/palm-launching-pre-on-june-6th-official/
It'll be interesting though when the Pre comes out. I'd like to see what the reviewers say and the iPhone fanboys say about it.]]>May 19th 2009 5:40PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/19/palm-launching-pre-on-june-6th-official/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/19/palm-launching-pre-on-june-6th-official/
I will certainly be looking at this phone once my contract is up. The only downside is most people I talk to are on at&t.

This is the first phone that will give the iPhone a run for its money and will also help Sprint out a ton! Congrats to whoever gets their hands on this at launch!!!!]]>May 19th 2009 5:45PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/19/palm-launching-pre-on-june-6th-official/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/19/palm-launching-pre-on-june-6th-official/
I don't think memory or storage will be to much of a factor here. Overall I think the Web OS out shines the iPhone OS currently, but I'm only going by what I have seen on the web. I'm sure some time soon we will see some big changes to the iPhone OS to match what the Web OS is going to offer straight out of the box. Palm out did themselves with the Pre and like the iPhone they did it right the first time.]]>May 19th 2009 5:55PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/19/palm-launching-pre-on-june-6th-official/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/19/palm-launching-pre-on-june-6th-official/May 19th 2009 6:22PM
