| Has Palm Missed the Boat? |
| By Thom Holwerda on 2009-11-03 20:44:40 |
| Most of us here like gadgets. Things with displays, LEDs, or stuff that otherwise lights up in the dark and makes cool noises. There is this one gadget I had been waiting for to come out in The Netherlands for quite a while now, but at some point a limit was reached, and today I decided to do a complete 180 and buy a competing product. |

| That sucks. |

Wow, that sucks big hairy man ass! ;-D Seriously, I'd of gone with an Android phone myself just to evade the lock in. My last iPod was my last Apple gadget and I'm sticking to that resolution. Good luck with your new phone and I hope you have less trouble than my friends have had. |

| Not even in Germany |

| I was waiting a long time for the Pre to arrive here in Germany. I held on to my trusty E65 because I wanted the Pre. And then it came out on O2. Personally, I think O2's service sucks big time. So I went with Android on Vodafone and am quite satisfied with the hardware and the OS (I rooted the phone the first day I had it), even if I sold my soul to Google in the process. |

| Definitely NOT Dead |

Just on a ventilator, with a 106 degree temp (41.1 C), having lost 2 quarts of blood. Also, the heart is in Ventricular Tachycardia, sepsis is rampant, and there is very little brain-wave activity. But not dead. Palm lives on! Edited 2009-11-03 21:23 UTC |

there is very little brain-wave activity. That one there applies to quite many different companies :D |

| Exclusive deals suck! |

Why any phone company would lock themselves into the customer base of a single cell service provider is beyond me. Just release a damned GSM version already!! There's no way that Bell Canada paid Palm enough to make up for the loss of all the Rogers customers. By the time the 6-month exclusivity deal is up, no one on Rogers will want one. There are a lot of people in my neck of the woods that were chomping at the bit for a Pre on Rogers. Now ... not so much. In a few months when there's a possibility of it coming to Rogers ... probably not enough to make it worth it. |

> ...a whole raft of new anti-Apple, anti-iTunes, anti-App Store articles over the coming weeks for us I suspect... Last I heard, the reality-distortion field effect lasts at least a few months. Then the articles come. |
