And I went with a Palm Pre Plus. Yup, caved to the smartphone. Liking it so far, though the apps offered for the Palm are not as plentiful or nice as what I have on my iPod. Working on synching my iTunes library right now...

My phone is barely hanging on at this point... I've had to adopt a dance of removing the battery, plugging in the charger, putting the battery back in and then turning the phone on in order for it to boot.

I was thinking that the problem might be easily fixed with a piece of clear tape, but I guess duct tape is way more core!

or you could do like many of us and but a cheap "bumper" to protect the side...
Still a great phone - Consumer Reports even rates it the best smart phone.. :roll::roll:

What was your reasoning in choosing the Palm?

#1 It is its own hotspot for no extra charge (Verizon was charging $40/month for this service prior). Helpful for when I'm out of the area and need to work on something for school as I often have to get online to do research and wifi isn't always available.
#2 Ease of use. The gestures are pretty cool and (once I was informed that it was operated with the gestures) I found it easier to navigate than the other smartphones I was considering (iPhone not being part of the equation since we decided not to switch to AT&T at this time).
#3 Slide out keyboard. Must, must, must for me--I don't really like virtual keyboards on something the size of a phone. On the iPad, it doesn't seem bad but I don't want to rely on a touchscreen for typing. The Palm Pre Plus's keyboard is sort of rubberized, too, which minimizes slippage onto wrong keys.
#4 Size/feel. Ergonomic. Comfortable in my hands and not too big/too small.

I bet there's a few guys in an office somewhere cheering someone bought one...
I was a Palm user(sounds bad) for over a decade..

I didn't know it when I chose it, but I guess a lot of reviewers felt it is a real contender against iPhone and one of the best smartphones out there (battery life being the only real downside).I bet there's a few guys in an office somewhere cheering someone bought one...

I had 2 versions of the Handspring/Palm Trio - it was the shti back then... Also had Handspring and Palm PDAs..
I used a Trio until I smashed it snowboarding... And was forced to use a BBY for my old job...

My wife was in LOVE with her trio, when she recently upgraded she stuck with Palm, trying to look for a software continuity kind of thing. I forgot the exact model of the Pre she got, but lets just say that she's not nearly as enamored with her Pre as she was with her trio. For just a pure data/e-mail machine, the trio was awesome back in its day.
Now, maybe under HP's guidance, Palm will be able to introduce a cutting edge product in the coming months/years that might be be able to help it gain back some of the market share that it once had - who knows?????
