    when i first got the pre, i couldn't figure out how to close app windows. but after viewing the online pdf op manual i became a pro. there is one gesture that is used often, the back gesture. it's nice because it becomes habit, and almost common sense. there is a button for home and it also lights up when actions are performed. also i noticed two little lights on either side of the button witch seems to indicate the gesture was read from one side to the other. what i found nice was a period for those dot com entries as well as the at symbol for emails. other people have already mentioned about lack of keyboarding in landscape mode, but that doesn't bother me. what i didn't like is that the settings are mixed together with actual apps. If they had a generalized tab or section for those. it can get a bit confusing. overall i think its palm best thing. it can beet out the iphone if they fine tune a few things and get more apps. and thats something else. palm needs to keep most or all of their apps free. this is palm we're talking about. they'll come out ahead. look at apple. they got scared they might lose out, so they are going to be offering the iphone to any provider that uses sim chips. try again apple. you're taking on palm. they created the pilot and now the pre.

Palm Pre
28 Jan 2009

Summary
The Touch HD is one of HTC's best efforts yet - its superb display in particular looks outstanding. Unfortunately, it's still not perfect and you'll pay through the nose for its features.

Pros
Pre's webOS is gorgeous and easy to use, highly responsive multitouch display

Cons
Keyboard feels cramped and flimsy, lacks removable memory

Verdict
Hardware flaws aside, the Palm Pre makes a solid impression. Its eye-catching design and smooth operation make this smartphone the most exciting device we've seen in a while.

The Pearl 8120 is a good phone but there are bad things about it that are not stated when you buy it such as need Data Plan ontop of other plans to send pictures with ATT. You cant shut the shutter off on this phone when taking pictures.

BlackBerry Storm
15 Apr 2009

If you've already researched this touch-screen BlackBerry Storm on the internet, then my guess is you've probably read more bad than good. So let me start with some good news - at least you haven't rushed into making a mistake like I have when upgrading from my Sony Ericsson K800i to my first-ever 'smart' phone (and first-ever BlackBerry)!

My reason for changing to a BlackBerry was primarily to be able to access my e-mails on the go and, I suppose, to give mobile internet browsing a...

BlackBerry Pearl 8100
24 May 2007

Horrid phone not thought through. The keyboard is fiddly as is the silly non qwerty set up. Bluetooth is absolute rubbish. RIM have got to sort it. This went back and the 8800 replaced it. Reception better and not one problem with Bluetooth. Bad phone, keep away!
