Palm doesn't have the fastest phone, or the phone with the highest resolution, certainly not the biggest app selection, and it doesn't have a massive community behind it. What it does have, however, is a brilliant platform with huge potential to change the way you work and live with your...

THE BOTTOM LINE: The Palm Pre Plus earns its place as the top WebOS device, improving on the Pre with a better design and performance, and upgraded features. Verizon customers looking for a versatile smartphone to balance their personal and work lives will be well-served by the Pre Plus.

So yes, it's called the Palm Pre Plus for a reason. And it lets Verizon customers get in on the web OS action while staying on their preferred network—which is a good thing, and actually a decent move for Palm. Rather than try to suck more money off the same group of potential customers...

I came to the Pre Plus from the Droid Eris, in terms of Android 1.5 with Sense UI vs WebOS...Palm wins hands down. WebOS is a superb system for use on a phone. Gestures, cards, the beauty of it....all in all, a better OS than Android and is a true contender to the iPhone OS3.0. As for the...

The Palm Pre Plus (AT&T), is the height of Palm build quality, but the bottom of actual usage quality. The AT&T network is spotty, but when you are in service boy is it fast (though WiFi with the "de-throttle patch" is far superior). Ear piece quality is better than any "dumb phone" and...

This phone is great in all aspects. The only reason that it is not a 10 because of subpar battery life and a smaller screen size. Battery life is understandable because it is better than a motorola droids. The keyboard is no blackberries, but once you get use to it i get around 50 wpm on it. The...
