Thread: should i get a palm pre?

right now i have a motorola q9c with windows mobile
ive been looking to use my two year upgrade discount and am debating on picking this up.
any thoughts?

yes you should get the palm pre

Go into a store, play with the iPhone, then play with the Palm Pre. Try to think of ways you are going to be using it - see how it performs in real life. This advice applies to pretty much any phone. Although besides those 2, I would say the software is as good only on the Android.

iphone really is a good multimedia phone....palm pre is more intended to webOS and webapps...u can get shit done practicly..hehhehe

Yea I would go the iphone over palm pre, with os 3.0 and 3gs the iphone now has 99% of the features the pre has but with more and cheaper apps etc. just doesnt have the slide out keyboard

I like the Pre because it plays nice with Microsoft Exchange, but I don't like the keyboard at all. It's way too cramped to be practical. The question is do you prefer a tiny keyboard with tactile feedback (Pre) or a larger touchscreen keyboard (iPhone and the like).

Here's my contribution to the discussion

get an iphone instead

The PalmPre was made by an ex-apple exec so its a pretty decent machine. The only downside is that it only has 8(?) apps to choose from while the Iphone has over 15k. However, the PalmPre has a qwerty keyboard if you want a physical keyboard.
