Howard Stern makes Bold decision

advertisment:

In a move that appears to have backfired all over the faces of Palm executives, radio personality Howard Stern was given a Palm Pre to test out. The idea was to give him the device at his home, let him play with all of that yummy Pre goodness that everyone is expecting the handset to have, and then talk about it on his radio show. It would be like running free commercials, what could go wrong? After all, Stern has a Palm Treo so surely this was a no-brainer, right? Wrong. After testing out the Pre, the shock-jock decided on the BlackBerry Bold as his next cellphone because, according to Stern, the Palm Pre was a nice phone but it could not connect to Lotus Notes. Looks like the Palm marketing crew should have done a little more research before turning over their hot phone to Mr. Stern.

This goes to show that there's never going to be the "perfect" phone. The pre does lack a few things, as does the iphone, storm, etc. I still fail to see how Stern is making a prediction, as stated in the title. PhoneArena has fallen off with naming their articles. They're very misleading, and inaccurate. And the articles themselves have grammatical and spelling errors. I am not referring to this article specifically, but articles in general.
