Just switched from the Pre

nebj00la · 06:08 AM

Despite thinking WebOS was going to be the best thing since sliced bread, and getting Nintendo working on the Pre... ([Only registered users can view links. ])

I've switched to Android. ...and I think it's freakin' awesome.

P.S. I joined the SPE forums in 2006. Too bad this forum profile isn't linked

were you into patching and homebrew? I'm thinking of making the switch but I'm not sure if I'm ready yet! Any input you could give me would help me out! Thanks in advance..

Welcome to the wonderful world of android...
root + backup + flash custom rom = good times

Yeah, I'm still a channel op in #webos-internals. My nickname is nebula. Ask for help through IRC.

I rooted, patched, homebrewed and tethered. My Pre is now in the drawer and I have a new Hero. The Pre OS is great. Build quality, lack of apps, and battery life have me on my new Hero. I do miss the Pre interface, but SenseUI and android come close.

I switched from the Pre to the Hero as well. Couldn't be happier. I was on PreCentral since January, same name.

I was on precentral too... Webos is/was great but the hardware of the Pre is junk. I went threw 12 phones before I finally gave up

Same here - just boxed up my Pre, three Touchstones, and various other Palm toys in favor of the Hero. It may not have equivalent hardware but so far my Android experience has been 10x richer than my (second) fling with webOS.

12 Pre's?! Holy crap! I went through 5. I doubt I will be going back to Palm. I was using Palm's for the past 5 years, thought the Pre was going to be great, but after 5 different hardware issues it was time to move on.

Thanks for all the input, for now I'm still with the Pre. When, not if, I make that switch, I'm leaning more toward getting the Droid. There is just too many flaws with the Pre. Web os is nice, but too many flaws with the hardware.
