So, this is basically a Palm Pre without the sliding feature, right?

Ditto. They do sell the Palm Pre unlocked, but here in the states what good is that if it’s a CDMA phone? :(

Agreed. I was appalled at the small size of the Pre keyboard, and the slider mechanism felt clunky and wobbly.

Sprint is a network that is dying fast, their numbers are going down each month and the phones they offer are not appealing while their coverage is poor.

Palm has some really great innovations in their new phone, they should have partnered with Verizon which has a good reputation and is looking for that iPhone killer.

Palm is killing themselves by still not releasing GSM/HSDPA versions of this phone. This Sprint(CDMA) exclusivity has been killing them. They need to get devices out there to add motivation for Devs to port their apps to WebOS. Also, they need to start shipping some improved hardware: Higher Res screens, better than poor keyboards etc.

Sounds like it has all the features of the Palm pre. I also like that it has the keyboard out in the open. Would rather have that than a mechanism which could break with prolonged use. Also like that it’s slimmer too.

Can’t wait to see if they make it available to other networks in the future.
