I wasn't there but Dan Hesse apparently said they're taking preorder starting now.

1 Touch Diamond
1 Touch Pro
1 Instinct
1 Rant
1 Low end BB
1 High end BB (with the soon to be released bold)
1 High end palm device (pre)
1 Low end palm device (centro)
and finally a couple rugged PTT devices

If anything it could stand to be reduced further...but I'll take that lineup over ATTs smattering of crap phones (save the bold and iphone) any day]]>Jan 8th 2009 4:55PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/08/palms-pre-gets-it-own-spot-on-sprints-website/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/08/palms-pre-gets-it-own-spot-on-sprints-website/Two sinking ships form partnership of desperation!

One, coming from a background of formerly unchained has-been, offers new unproven flash. The other, coming from a background of regional 3rd-rate, offers nothing new but ankle-chaining.

This thing looks great. I can't imagine they could've done much better on this one.]]>Jan 8th 2009 4:15PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/08/palms-pre-gets-it-own-spot-on-sprints-website/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/08/palms-pre-gets-it-own-spot-on-sprints-website/Jan 8th 2009 4:38PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/08/palms-pre-gets-it-own-spot-on-sprints-website/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/08/palms-pre-gets-it-own-spot-on-sprints-website/Jan 8th 2009 4:46PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/08/palms-pre-gets-it-own-spot-on-sprints-website/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/08/palms-pre-gets-it-own-spot-on-sprints-website/Found this in google:
Looks like good specs and a good unit. GPS, Blutooth, 8GB storage, and a "fast processor; Stereo A2DP support; TI's latest OMAP CPU. The first one with this CPU; 3.1-inch display, 320 x 480 -- touchscreen, with multitouch; you can replace the battery (insert cheering masses here) 3 mp camera with led flash; MicroUSB connection, USB 2.0 jack; 3.5mm headphone jack (more cheering) Portrait slide out keyboard

looks like its pretty good.. Cam with flash, 3.5 headphone, microusb... win win win!

But I assume the Treo Pro on Jan 25th will have to tide me over for a while]]>Jan 8th 2009 5:01PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/08/palms-pre-gets-it-own-spot-on-sprints-website/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/08/palms-pre-gets-it-own-spot-on-sprints-website/
The screen is smallish and the resolution is middle of the road. They've have 320x320 since the 650, how about increasing the pixel density in 4 year's time. Considering the the touch HD has a higher res screen and the newly released BB's now have 320x480.

I haven't read anything about SD cards, hope that there is a slot because while 8gb is nice, you can get 16 gb sd cards now.

They haven't done much enhancing of the keyboard either. The Treo hard-button keyboards are easier to type on than the rubber Centro/Pro keyboards.

Can't complain about anything else.]]>Jan 9th 2009 12:10PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/08/palms-pre-gets-it-own-spot-on-sprints-website/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/08/palms-pre-gets-it-own-spot-on-sprints-website/Its more like 1 rung from the top.]]>Jan 9th 2009 12:30PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/08/palms-pre-gets-it-own-spot-on-sprints-website/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/08/palms-pre-gets-it-own-spot-on-sprints-website/

When you can stand without a spot of sin on you, you'll have my blessing to be my judge. Until then ... Not so much.

Anyone who disparages that OS is insane... it looks amazing. I'm more of a fan of sharper lines on gadgets, but the overall design looks great.

I have two phones right now and used two windows mobile phones in the past. The WinMo phones were fine (8125 and 8525), but I went back to a Treo when the hardware gave out and I really just need the Treo/BB form factor for the phone that I type and text the most on.

My Blackberry is a decent phone, I've got the 8330 from Verizon... gets the job done, rarely fails, but VERY boring and no touchscreen is a bummer and a half. The Treo 755p still has the best keyboard I've ever used on a phone. I can type on that thing one handed and REALLY fast, while not even looking, with two thumbs. I don't have to even mention the old Palm OS... everyone agrees on how much that sucks.

All things said and done... I'm trading my Treo 755p for this hot rocket as soon as its available. My sweet sweet dreams will be made manifest when someone finally gets off their arse and designs a Android phone with an iPhone size screen, slide out keyboard and nice overall body. Then I can get rid of my Nokia n810 tablet and be a Happy camper... for a few months until I start lusting over the next revolutionary device anyway, haha.]]>Jan 9th 2009 9:34PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/08/palms-pre-gets-it-own-spot-on-sprints-website/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/08/palms-pre-gets-it-own-spot-on-sprints-website/Jan 9th 2009 12:23PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/08/palms-pre-gets-it-own-spot-on-sprints-website/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/08/palms-pre-gets-it-own-spot-on-sprints-website/
Palm was my fist PDA. Then my first smart phone. Since then, I've gone to Windows mobile because 1) I love HTC's hardware, and 2) I needed something more. I'm not in love with WM, and I've been a Sprint customer for quite some time. The idea of going to AT&T didn't give me the warm and fuzzies, and the iPhone, as cool as it is, just wasn't doing it for me. This has potential. No, there's no slot for a memory card, which is a let-down, but I haven't used the 4 gig on my Touch Diamond, so I don't see this as being too much of an issue. I'm worried about how the screen is going to behave in sunlight, though. And I do like the higher resolution of my phones 480x640 screen. I don't know if I can go back now. Also, there's the question of how this thing is going to sync. Do I need yet another Palm Desktop installation? Is it all Cloud based? How will it behave with Outlook? Still a lot of questions, but I'm definitly keeping my eye on this one. Nice work, Palm!]]>Jan 9th 2009 3:21PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/08/palms-pre-gets-it-own-spot-on-sprints-website/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/08/palms-pre-gets-it-own-spot-on-sprints-website/
