So my phone (a Palm Pre Plus) has stopped working. I am due for an upgrade in less than a month, and Verizon will let me upgrade early. The only problem is, Verizon will let me upgrade early to any phone except for a 4s. I have called them multiple times, and they always say that it is Apple's policy to not allow early upgrades and there is nothing they can do about it. I do not like Android and just don't see getting an iPhone 4 which will be outdated in 2 weeks (plus a good camera and...
Okay, so I'm a MAJOR gadget geek. I podcast about gadgets, I know a lot about gadgets, I've used practically every mobile OS on the market and know all of their features.. but I've never actually owned my own smartphone. Money is really tight, and I've been using it for other things (mainly upgrading my computer since it's almost a decade old). I've been running on prepaid phones for the past 8 years, and I'm thinking about making the jump soon. I was going to get the Pre 3, since I absolutely...

Has anyone upgraded their AT&T Pre+ to 2.1 as per http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/WebOS_2_Upgrad... ? If so how long does the process usually take? In addition, if someone has a AT&T Pre+ on T-Mo would it even be possible to flash it into a O2 unlocked model? It's already unlocked and I don't use the 3G bands on it so no worries there.
Hi, I'm really new to buying stuff on eBay, so I was wondering what a "bad ESN" is. I want to buy, http://cgi.ebay.com/Palm-Pre-Plus-Verizon-MINT-BOX... but I don't think I can use it..? Am I correct? How do I fix this so I can use it? Will it cost money, thanks!
I was wondering if I should pick up the Pre plus used off of craigslist to tide me over until I can get a windows phone. Would the Pre Plus perform any better than the droid eris?
I have envied the Pre Plus since the day of its announcement, and I wish I had waited for it badly. Today I went into a Verizon store and played with a Pre Plus for about an hour. I was so envious. At home, I searched on eBay for some Pre Plus unlocked deals, since I don't have a contract renewal open, and I will NOT pay $600 for this (technically) year and a half old phone. I found a Pre for about $70, expiring tomorrow, unlocked (meaning no contract required). I plan on buying an LTE...

While I'm loving my Pre and webOS, I've been less impressed with my mobile data speeds. Sometimes I can get between 400 and 700 kpbs, but most of the time it hovers around 160 to 170 kpbs. I'm coming from T-Mo, whose reception was a deal breaker for me, but at least with them I had consistent 400-600 kpbs speeds when I could connect. Is this just how slow Verizon is with unpredictable fits of faster speeds? I've tested using various mobile speed tests and all give me the same...
I am not a buisness user. I just use it for social network, texting, internet and apps. you can get the buy one get one free promotion right now for the pre plus. I hate the droid because of the lip and i dont care about the nexus one. Can someone tell me which one to pick and why. keep in mind the build quality, software/OS and app store. Dont give any suggestions for other phones because im only picking from these.
Is anyone else having GPS issues with their Pre+? This has been mentioned on several forums, but there hasn't been an acknowledgment by Palm. I've got a way to duplicate the problem and some notes below: http://forums.palm.com/t5/webOS-Hardware/GPS-tempo... http://forums.precentral.net/palm-pre/227582-palm-... ---------------------------------------- - New Palm Pre Plus from Verizon - webOS 1.3.5.1 First: -...

i've had my pre plus for a week now and have noticed after charging on the touchstone the lower right corner of the screen has much lighter splotch of color than the rest. has anyone ever noticed this or should i return for another device.
The new Palm Pre Plus phone gives you double the memory in a refined design. And like the original Palm Pre, it helps you navigate your life with a vivid touchscreen, full keyboard, and the intuitive Palm webOS platform, which runs multiple apps at once. View websites and watch videos in widescreen. Slide out the keyboard to fire off a text or email. Bring work and personal events or contacts together in one simple view. All in an elegant design that fits perfectly in your hand and your life.
