I have a pre plus and a droid. Droid wins on apps obviously, but I've been impressed with the pre. Nice OS. Does Gmail pretty good although strangely lacking the archive mail button. I actually like the keyboard better than my Droid's hard keyboard. But I agree that nobody knows about this phone, ads were terrible.

It does feel plasticy... if that's a word. Could use new hardware for sure to speed it up, but I dont think it's slow by any means.

But everytime I pull my Pre Plus out at the bar, people ask about it and like it. That tells me advertising is the #1 fail on Palm's end.

I have noticed more Palm reps inside VZW stores recently, but that's not enough. Usually when someone walks into vzw to buy a phone they already know what they are buying, so that guy's sell job is to change minds on the fly.

It's too bad too. The slow sales have hurt mainstream app development. They really had a nice product at onset, but they failed in delivery timing and advertisement.

Am I the only one realizing who the real winner could be here? Hear me out. If this starts to happen, isn't Verizon a clear winner? You have to think that if EA and GL can make this port painless, other applications such as ETRADE and MINT, for example, non gaming apps... would soon figure out how to port regular apps that are not owned by Apple. Then Verizon gets the iPhone without getting the iPhone. I mean, it already sync's with iTunes if you have the right version.

I don't know. Seems to me, this could be a nice alternative for Big Red customers in lieu of an actual iPhone.

And how about what it means to Android? OOF.

@outphase84 Pre Plus is solid. I have a Droid and a Pre. My only beef with the pre is the limited apps. But as a phone, it's very nice. Small, easy to type on, and don't let the smaller display fool you... it's nice and web surfing is still very enjoyable on it. i'd like to see more mainstream apps on it like Android is starting to get. Question is, with low sales volume, will that ever happen?

The problem continues in this forum of people making meaningless comments. That being said, this is huge for BlackBerry. Anyone with a sense of business would know that. If they get this working well, they can market to others outside of business much better.

They sell a lot now. With a real web browser that's fast, they should sell even more. For many people, the web browser was the deal killer.

People on here are kids. As an ADULT, the Storm 2 is a great phone. Fast, does what it's supposed to do. Yes it could use webkit. But im a fan of surepress. I traded my Tour to a guy for his Storm 2 and couldn't be more pleased.

My other phone is the Droid. I enjoy both phones very much.

I realize me liking surepress puts me in the minority. But for me it's way easier than a keyboard or touch screen. I rip off emails way faster on my 9550 over my droid.

verizon internet and all chat down in Columbus, Ohio since about 7pm yesterday

What's the point of buying a 130 dollar cradle when you can just buy a nice full fledged Gps for that price?

Now this I really could use!
