Why doesn't anyone point out that.... Bb playbook and android 3.0 copied webos? Wtf
IS THERE ANYWAY PRECENTRAL MAKE A REQUEST FROM TO HPALM THAT WE WANT A PHONE WITHOUT ANY VIRTUAL KEYBOARD? SOMETHING LIKE THE IPHONE OR EVO IN THIS CASE? THIS IS PLAIN GARBAGE WAT ARE THEY DOIN! COMMON! TWO YRS N STILL THE SAME HORRIBLE IDEA THAT CAME OUT THE FIRST TIME THAT TOOK THE COMPANY DOWN WITH IT!
I don't believe theses phone do have a virtual keyboard. I LOVE my tactile response. Go buy an iPhone, Choleface.
Horrible idea? lol no
so just unlocked phones no sprint verizon att?
palm user since way way back. I now am feeling like a new ios user. hwhat do ya net summer will become fall. You I have been loyal just because I thought I would be rewarfed with an update at least. Geez HP, way to stay with the Palm strategy that failed them promis the future (beyond) and see how many hang on. Is the competition really that bad?
Firts of what the hell happened to the 2.0 update on all the other phones this is ridiculous
enough with the complaining, if you don't like the phone.... GO TO DROID OR... WAIT FOR IT , IPHONEY!!! It's that damn simple poof be gone!!!!
Summer for a Pre 3, huh? Sprint? Looks like too little, too late at this point.
I dunno. I'll see how long my current Sprint Pre lasts (on my second replacement) and see what's out there when it dies.
It seems the biggest event palm fans has been soured by the distorted reality that hp palm is living in: sound ambiguous but let me clarify my points:
1. Two years in the making of the best mobile os betrayed by appalling hardware, nothing about veer, or palm 3 to shout about
2. No support for Arabic and other non Latin languages yet, oh my mighty apple!
3. Android has surpassed the web os who has stayed rather stagnant for two years
4. Non physical keyboard still lacking, the japanese are surely laughing at this stupid decision
Palm need to remove their blurry spectacles and think beyond, oh yes beyond!
I love webos but the damn people are always late. I mean come on they were even late to their damn event.
Positive note:
1. the cloud sync looks great with the touchstone technology but it remains to be seen if palm does not mess it up.
2. The topaz looks the deal and I believe the most sensible from hp was to leave the rear camera, why on earth do we want a rear camera on a tablet.
3. The topaz is heavy, yeah man more heavier than the iPad, definitely win the battle of obesity here lol!
I am not an apple fan and I was expecting great from hp palm! I must admit now that the set hardware producer is apple and just imagine webos on the iPhone 4. Jobs would just be left drooling!
It seems to me that palm is not adventurous enough and I believe that let alone android but even blackberry will be no match for them in matter of month. I really think that is cheap innovation and stupid advertising from hp palm
incredibly, unbelievably, underwhelming.
HP should have saved the money spent on this dog and pony show and just had a 3-piece cardboard science fair display with styrofoam mock-ups of their "new" me-too devices.
- still no expandable storage (sorry; usb/cloud does NOT count)
- no 2.0 for older phones (ergo no flash support)
they (hp, palm, whoever they are) really, truly, don't get it.
very sad.
To little (literally, in the case of the Veer--who do they expect to buy THAT?), too late.
If the original Pre had offered what the Pre 3 offers, it would have been a success. But I don't see enough here to take on the entrenched market share of iOS and Android.
And really, what was the thought process behind the veer? "I bet consumers want a smart phone they have to squint at, and that's too small to actually use to surf the web." With Android offered on screens of 4 inches and larger, HP should have been aiming for a bigger brother to the Pre, not a little brother.
