Sick of Waiting?

[liquidxit2]

Also want to add that with the recent HP acquisition, phone development is bound to hit a few road bumps. No major company can be acquired and get right back to business without *some* sort of interruption.

Yeah I know that will hamper things for a little bit, but I would think that they could and should squeak out a phone by the holiday season.

I think Palm is phobic about repeating the Handspring / Treo issue. They licensed out the OS way back in the day - and then Handspring (made of some EX Palm employees) co-developed/licenesed a better calendar (datebook) and eventually developed the Treo phone concept and Palm was almost dead in the water as a result. They should have NEVER tried to go into hardware development with Pre- and should have licensed the OS to every interested handset maker along with a design "suggestion" of the pre and touchstone charger- but they have so RARELY created solid hardware/software combinations in the past...

I have not had a good palm phone hardware and software combo since the treo line.

broken touchscreen on pre + having to use my old treo 700wx = screaming at samsungmobileus' twitter comments about how close its getting.

I am about to head home and reactivate my LG lotus due to being totally fed up. Im not going to sprint to pay the $50 just to ride the pre for a week or so. Im only hesitant because there are things that I will lose that I use everyday....oh wait I can no longer use those features.

They tried this idea it the PalmOS. The problem is who'll lease the software? Android OS is free. What business would choose the webOS over the Android? It simply isn't a smart business decision to lease it out because no one would want to.

Nobody. Palm is a spec on the map at best nowadays. Their reputation is tarnished and even businesses have switched to crackberries. The only ones that seem to hold onto palm are diehards like me who have used the brand for many years.

Lol like so many of you I had a dead phone and wanted to check out the epic but was sick of waiting for an announcement. I couldn't wait anymore so I just ended up getting an evo a couple days ago. I called a walmart on the "not so nice" part of town and they had 4 in stock. So far, I'm more than happy with it. The FPS cap doesn't affect the types of games I play and I've heard really bad things about the build quality of the hinges in all samsung sliders so the keyboard wasn't really a draw for me either.

I've been waiting to get a smartphone for four months now. Almost got an Evo but glad I waited. Hopefully patience pays off.

BIG NEWS UPDATE:

Now if I make a call that lasts more than 30 seconds (including ringing time) my phone will shut down.

That was another important news flash, brought to you by cr3amy

Look at it this way, now you wont go over your minutes

So, yeah, Apparently Sprint Premier members will receive an e-mail tomorrow on info on how to pre-order this phone. Considering no one is expecting this to sell-out, I find this info odd, but greatly appreciated. I have tomorrow off, and there isn't a credit card required to reserve the phone.

lol, that would be totally true but on the flip side now I feel like I'm wasting my unlimited plan

 

[coolqf]

I'm going to be out of the country until the 23rd. So, I can't take advantage of the pre-order =(

please give me anything, a release date, out of the box froyo, the damn phone! anything.

BIG NEWS UPDATE #2:

For the second time in the last month, my alarm didn't go off! It literally deactivated the alarm that's been working fine since January. Thankfully, both times I was woken up by texts when I was only an hour late for work.

Lol, luckyyyy. Promised my boss I would go to CVS and buy an alarm clock today, hahaha.

I know what you mean. Although not having a set time is kinda spoiling me

Not really. I also have to come in at the oddest hours due to a server being down or a problem I couldnt address while my end users were working. So I spend alot of my time on weekends and late nights at work. Sure I could go into work at 10am or 11am or even noon but thats at the cost of my weekends and nights alot of the time.

Yeah and its also pissing my wife off.

Unluckyyyyy

I just wanna get the chance to look at one, feel it, play with it. I'm surprisingly happy with my Evo and I'm just not sure I want to leave my custom vanilla FroYo ROM just to have a physical keyboard and better GPU, although it is still very tempting.

I did that when I was in school. I was on the verge of being fired. Bought an alarm clock cause i was showing up late to work on weekends due to being hungover. Coincedently, I stopped drinking around the time i got the alarm clock, been on time ever since.

Drinking is overrated.

Whoa! Whoa! Come on now. This was a pretty polite thread man, there's no need for that.
