Palm Pre Plus (and Pixi Plus) review

Jan 20th 2010 11:33PM (Engadget)
Finally they address the slider issue, what about all of the people that bought the old version? I'm currently on my 5th Pre, and I've had issues ranging from white spots on the screen, to the phone only working on speakerphone due to the headphone jack. Unfortunately my current one sometime turns off when i close the slider, and will say that it has full signal, but when I try to use the phone or internet tell me that the phone is "offline". I don't know what to do at this point cause it seems like I can't catch a break. When i think about the money and time that I've poured into this phone (I preordered it from Best Buy, worst idea ever) it just depresses me. I realize that Im an early adopter, and I've learned my lesson, but it still burns. After owning 5 devices all with problems, I have zero confidence in palm's hardware, and will never buy from them again. The sad thing is, i love webOS, its very intuitive and the multitasking is so convenient. I'm sorry that this comment turned into a rant, I've just been wanting to get this off my chest for a while now.

Has your Palm Pre learned to do the twist?

Hi, just wanted to say that I'm on my second pre and both have had the wobble issue. The first I exchanged because it was having the headphone jack issue where the phone still thinks its plugged in. To solve that I plugged in the headphones, turned off the phone then turned it back on. That worked twice, but the third time I just decided to replace it. I noticed it did it when I was using the youtube app too, except for the last time it did it on its own.

Also, I bought mine from best buy and last I talked to them the lady told me that the twist doesn't affect the use of the device, so I won't be able to exchange it because of the twist alone, which is pretty much bs, but I didn't press the issue too much. She also said that they can't go through the phones they have in stock to find me one that doesn't twist so I'd be pretty much stuck with whichever one I get, so I'm gonna wait til my 30 days are up and get a new one and the best buy warranty so that I'll be covered I guess. She said I can cancel that anytime too so, if palm announces a fix or something I'll be able to cancel that and feel more comfortable.

All this being said, I like the phone a lot, it being my first smartphone and all.

Sprint Simply Everything plan now includes mobile broadband for laptops

Yeah, I'm gonna be heading to that same plan when my verizon contract runs out. Data for 3 phones on verizon would be $30 per phone, which sucks. I only hope that sprint's 3G coverage in my area is decent.

Verizon drops Omnia to $199, hopes you'll pay attention now

Yeah, that's what I'm wondering too. I think verizon only requires data on blackberries, but I could be completely wrong.
