Well ive been on a pilgrimage lately to get a good smart phone. I got Palm Pre on release day. I was so happy at first. The WebOS was awesome and so was the $99 everything plan on sprint. Then the reception issues started. I could stand in one freakn spot and the signal would go from 3-4 bars EVDO, to 1-2 1x, to 1-2 roaming. This made web browsing impossible. Then i went to work and i hardly got a signal at all and people with Palm Treo were almost getting full signal. The Palm Pre definitely has issues that need to be corrected and i was unwilling to wait because thats the main reason i bought the phone was to use it at work and it was unusable and there is no way i was paying $99.00 a month without that. I was kind of bumbed because i loved the WebOS and how it worked. Who knows if the issues were hardware or software related. I think i remember the IPhone having the same issues early on.
Anyways the only viable alternative in my eyes are the IPhone. The only reason i dont' like the iphone is apple snobishley telling people what they want (no multitasking). I'm sure they could do it if they want but apparently they don't want to. To me this is a major omission but one i guess i will have to deal with for the 2 year contract.
Id like to wait but all there is at this point is rumors. Like about a lot of android devices this year.......what carriers and when? Of course this hasn't been anounced. Then there is the whole WMob7/zune phone crazy rumors that keep surfacing. I don't want Wmob 6.5 and microsoft is fighting with itself now on whether they want to compete with the manufactorers that buy the wmob OS from them. I don't think we will see anything exciting from them for at least a year. Then there is WebOS which verizon (the carrier i wish i could go with) and AT&T said they are getting and Sprint has said "NO YOU ARE NOT"!!!!!! Kind of hard to wait at this point I guess i will have to deal with the multitasking dilema of the iphone. Hopefully apple figures out if they don't include multitasking they are going to be overrun and decide to implement it.
Anyways i just ordered a 16GB black 3G S tonight from the apple store. My order says "Will be delivered by June 19th" so who knows maybe i will get it early and not even have to fight the crazy lines. Anyone else preordering it?
