Palm Pre Previewed in our Forums! 7

by Dieter Bohn Sun, 31 May 2009 6:11 pm EDT

If you're a follower of our PreCentral Palm Pre forums, you're probably familiar with PedroTheGoat.  The Goat (as his friends refer to him) managed to snag a full hour with the Palm Pre and posted up his thoughts:

  • "You cannot even imagine how nice this critter feels.  Go ahead and throw the "Fisher Price" stuff out the window. [...] It fits great in the hand and has a nice ergonomic feel to it.
  • "After only about 1 minute I was able to type just as fast as on my BlackBerry."
  • The battery is good enough for a day of moderate use, but heavy users will want to pay attention to WiFi, Bluetooth, and location services.
  • The screen, and we quote: " WOWOWOWOWIE! Bright, crisp, gorgeous."
  • The browser, and we quote again: "WOWOWOWOWIE! FAST! Precentral loaded as fast as it did on my netbook! (Dieter, if you check your hits, you may see my Pre tag hit your site)" [You and about 30 others yesterday, Sir Goat! :) ]

Go on and give The Goat your congratulations!

I can not desire the pre anymore than I do presently, but my expectations for a imminent purchase continue be flogged by such posts. I think that BGR is to be discounted to a certain extent and his fanboi underpinnings can be forgiven. Long live the new king.

An interesting home-made overview vid of the Pre.

Finally a non biased review on a production device. BGR is an iFan, so his review was biased (although the pre-production device didnt help). I would not rely on his review.

Now where is my stick, I have a goat to beat ;-D, good job sir!

Hello....I posted a "subjective" review of the Palm Pre on Palm InfoCenter. There is the review and a follow up comment. In short, I felt the Pre was superior to the iPhone.
