Thank you! Like to listen on my way to wok... 1 hr commute to Manhattan..
that sux, i commuted 50 miles to jersey city everyday on the Turnpike. what a nightmare. i bet u are taking the train though
the luv will come when the phones come... until then, we are left with blue balls
in regards to the optimus s not selling....
this is INCORRECT... We cant keep these phones in stock!!! they are outselling the samsung transform and sanyo zio by miles...
i guess its $50 price tag is really what helps
(at least at my store anyway)
PS: while i agree that the pre 2 should have been picked up, that really should have happened it june and it would be pointless to have it now. (we also have to consider the fact that Sprint doesnt see the pre BRAND as a success (similar to the instict brand that was also discontinued) do to the bad hardware. (the phone we see with the most problem at sprint is the pre by far.)
anyways.... people DIDNT buy the instinctHD because they heard so much crap from old instinct users..... NOBODY would by the pre2 because so many people had a bad experience with the og pre.....
so anyway... dont blame sprint because palm did a CRAPPY job with the pre's hardware..... Sprint had heavy PRE promotion at launch and stopped when they saw the CRAZY amount of churn coming from it (the way verizon saw with the storm)
:)
ok, now that thats out of my system im ready for some awesomeness from palm!!!!!
Re: "Derek, Derek, and Adam round up the week's news."
It's been a while since I have listened in, but are there two Derek's, now?
Dieter, Derek and Adam. Officially, DDA. I think that's code for toxic or something.
"Hi, I'm Larry. This is my brother Darryl, and this is my other brother Darryl."
Congrats guys. You have moved up to Number 3 in my Dr Podder list. You've been promoted past Leo Laportes "TWiT". Right behind Paul Thurrott's "Windows Weekly" and a radio trivia show "Mnemoturniir" from my native Estonia. Keep up the good work.
