    I don’t have either and WAS tied between the two.
    I would completely go with the Pre for web browsing and media and I really decided I don’t care much for the Hero. (BTW: If you don’t already know, the actual U.S. Hero looks way better) I’m not a big fan of the scroll wheel personally, but meh. I am now deciding on either the Pre or Pixi depending on keyboard usability.
    Hope I helped, GO PRE!! lol

    i was getting the droid but for some reason att’s lawsuit to verizon is preventing me from getting it (im switching from att cuz there service sux srry iphone 3gs but i have to move on) so its either tmo or sprint and im not interested in any phones on tmo so im getting the pre on sprint in a few days cant wait

    tell them you’re going to leave if they don’t. they tend to respond to those threats nicely. :P
    i was thinking about getting the Pre because i love Palm & Sprint & also because it was the only type of iPhone-esque smartphone on Sprint. even though i liked what i read & saw about it, i just wasn’t really excited. then i found out about the Hero & i can’t wait to get it! i’m so excited about it. i’ll probably like Pre’s successors (hopefully it has some).. but for now i’m goin’ with Hero.

    I was recently told a pretty funny joke by a friend and I laughed my *** off, goes something like “find me a pile of **** and I’ll show you a lawyer hiding behind it.”

    lol wow shyster – i’m flattered that you give enough of a **** to do that much research. all lawyers are shysters, just like all blacks rob and kill, just like all mexicans are illegals, just like all asians **** at math.

    You sir, are a true shyster – 30 years of age and still shysting away online and failing pathetically.

    Your shyster comment makes almost as much sense as saying the palm pre is a “smartphone” LOL. peace out shyster, next.

    your profile shyster – Juris Doctor Candidate ‘10

  18. cpenga :

    only faggot that’s a shyster here is YOU bro – fanboying the pre when it’s clear fact that pre owners are bailing by the boat-load each day.

    only a shyster ***** talks out of his *** instead of brings industry standards to the table. only a shyster posts dumb comments that get removed by the author.

    and only shysters use “shyster” in a completely idiotic and inappropriate context. who am i shysting? how did i “shyst”. shut your shyster mouth and keep holding on to the pre.

    would you be able to play online flash games on a phone with a physical keyboard?

    lol spoken like a true shyster

    and if your pre has no lag when you swipe on ANY menu – LOL – please go to the AT&T store and pick up an iphone 3gs and then come back and type an EDUCATED and INFORMED comment.

    and if you can’t tell the difference between the fluidity in the machines – and the LACK of fluidity and smoothness in the palm pre – then you should have saved yourself some SERIOUS money and gotten a windows mobile phone. they are way cheaper.

  22. cpenga :

    lol – your rebuttal is completely misguided and irrelevant.
    first of all – it’s pure speculation you bring to the table. MY argument & FACT remains – the preapp store has 59 apps, period. THOUSANDS of users forced to chose from DOZENS of apps – not THOUSANDS of users chosing from THOUSANDS of apps.

    secondly your statement of “2 dozen” apps is drawn from where? friends? most people i know run at lest 5-10 games and 20-30 apps on android. there are apps for things like camera, SMS and dialer..

    DID U HEAR THAT HTC HERO !!!!!!!!! PRE is kool though

  24. glentubin :

    palm pre

    Very disapointed with the Hero’s problem with multitouching. I just went to sprint to check out a Hero and it was choppy. So smoothness of functions goes to Pre. Potential goes to Hero. If you believe in delayed gratification go with Hero.

    the hero is an android phone like the g1
