hey! so i've been using a palm pre plus with webOS 1+ (currently 1.4.5 after an attempt at 2+ didn't want to work yesterday, but ehh, user error i'm thinking, so i'm going to attempt again with a much better set of instructions & guide and with preware to get 2+ on before i root and android patch up my phone :-! ) for almost exactly a year now and i loathe webOS. there are no words. the apps (wait, what apps? 
haha), the wishy washy updates and lack of access to them without jumping through hoops, the unfriendly design of it all, i just hate it and i'm done with it. i've had an iphone before, i think they're entirely over-hyped for what they can do and i didn't really like mine. not to mention i can't afford a new phone, i've had the palm for only a year, to go buy another phone, even by signing a new 2 year contract, at&t slams me with fees. when i had to replace my iphone, the $99 phone became $250ish after the onslaught of fees for not waiting the full 2 years to upgrade.
as much as i really like the look of some of the HTC and samsung phones (i can't recall which, and window shopping makes me stand there thinking "awwww man" i just can't afford an actual android phone. :'( :-$ so rooting, homebrew patches, and all of that will have to do for now.
still, super excited! i have a friend with an android (can't remember what her phone is) and oh god she goes nuts with that thing. i get pretty envious seeing what she does then looking at my crappy palm preplus minus.
and i think i have rambled enough now, hehehe. great to be here, so glad i found this forum! oh, and yah, if it wasn't evident, my name is sophie elizabeth or just sophie or soph if you don't want to say the entire mouthful. :-\
