Sprint stores receiving Pre Advocate units
PreCentral has been tipped by a few Sprint employees that their stores have been receiving an Advocate copy of the Palm Pre. Each store is supposed to receive one unit that is given to the store's expert on all things Pre. Early comments on the handset say that it is small but that the webOS is "responsive" and "amazing" with the cards being intuitive. The sliding mechanism was described as "stiff" and mistakes in typing were made due to the cramped letters on the QWERTY keyboard with buttons that were said to be "harder" than those on the Centro.

Nothing new has come forward on the Pre's pricing or release date, and even the Advocates have no idea about the cost of the phone or the launch date. Two days of mandatory management training on the Pre will have to be completed before the actual release of the handset.

Mark my words.....this phone will FLOP!

Saying a phone is going to flop is a rather wide statement. What classifies a FLOP? In your opinion. Then I will mark your words and remember "trentsinmypants" once I see said floppery.

Flop as in look at the history of Palm phones. Phone lock ups, screws falling out, unresponsive screens, poor battery life (plus swelling), horrible BT connectivity, and the big one of all......poor call audio. So....Palm Pre = FLOP! Enjoy your over-priced door stop!!

I smell a hater a really big hater and trentinyourpants are the one...your basing this phone on the past ones that in itself is wrong cause you can say that about any phone across the board. Flop im sorry to tell you this but this phone is def not going to flop with the remarkable things it is capable of. Sure some things will go wrong just like with the storm and the iphone when they first came out. So there in brings up the hater part...you jump to all these things and havent even seen it=HATER!!!

Geez, kid. Puctuation is key!

The experts here are always willing to let everyone know how it is

you, mr initial palm pre leakers to phone arena..... are a certified moron. no better way to increase your sales of this phone than by submitting negative feedback to an online phone forum about a product that you are gonna sell. i think this phone is gonna be awesome. the keyboard IS LARGER than the centro's. why don't all you naysayers let people make up their own mind about this device or go work for another carrier.

well sorry Mr. AsianPhoneGeek.....last time i checked this was a PUBLIC FORUM where people are free to speak their minds. Based on every single release from Palm, its been nothing but one failure after another. I just dont want people to buy into the hype of this phone only to get ripped off in the end. *looks at the early STORM buyers*

Last time you checked was before they changed thier policy. You can't do any of that anymore... Razr with an actual Razor FTW!! Source: Legion

i agree, this is an open forum. you have your opinion on palm as do i. early storm adopters... eh, yeah maybe but in the end, the storm is a good device that has software issues that will be fixed. that being said, i can safely say in this public forum that you too are a dbag for not really reading my post haha.
