Just curious to how people feel about the pre and if we have any bb users that converted or even saw the phone.
Well il admit I am one of them that saw the phone and here are my initial views on it. I had the device for roughly a day and I must say I like it better than my storm. Il leave my favorite feature for last. lol. Firstly it has less lag especially with the 1.02 update. Dont get me wrong its not lag free, but its lag is minimal. The phone itself I dont honestly like how it feels when using the keyboard. The keyboard is bad at first but honestly with some frequent use I got comfortable with it. It is not like typing on a curve now but after a couple hours I got used to it. Me i personally can used to a any phone quickly. Only took me an hour to get used to the storm surepress so I am not sure how a new rookie user would handle the keyboard. The pre bottom has an edge on it that for the life of me I cant explain why they did this. The phones itself gets dirt and fingerprints everywhere and I do mean everywhere lol. The screen is beautiful simply beautiful. The size of the phone is sooooo sooooo small. It acutally shocked me. If you wear baggy jeans you could easily lose it in yourn pocket. The synergy feature in which it takes all your information from your synced accounts and links them together I thought was great at first. Here is the major flaw I saw in it. Maybe somebody knows how to change this but when I linked my facebook my contacts got filled with all friends with specified info from facebook. I do mean everyone. People I dont really even know were in my contacts. I couldnt find a way to select who i want to sync and who i didnt want to. This could become kinda troublesome because the last thing you want is your facebook friends mixed with your business clients lol. The browser is light years ahead of the storms. Renders faster is more responsive everything. Also html emails is better on the pre. The one thing about my storm I dont like is that when you get an email filled with html you have to get images. I dont like that. I thought there would have been and automatic download option for html graphics. Well its integrated within the pre. Next true threaded messaging and I do mean true threaded messaging just like on the iphone but better in the aspect that if you are talking to someone on aim and he signs off but you want to continue convo you can just choose to send a text message and it shows in the same threaded messaging session.Also Wifi very great plus. The battery life honestly was good for me. It wasnt spectacular but I survived 10 hours with heavy use. Universal search is beautiful and works flawlessly save you ever having to honestly opening the contacts application or ever going to google website. Only thing I wished it was integrated into every application but it is only integreated in a few.The acceleromator is fast very fast actually fastest i have ever seen. But here is the dumb part it only works in web browswer and cards and maybe some other application. This is silly just integrate it into all programs.There is also no on screen keyboard some people may not like this but i aint mind it at all. Ok now to my favorite part of the phone the part in which it has me tempted to get the phone multitasking. It is beautiful. Multitasking is the one feature I been asking from my smartphone since I first got mine. And I mean true multitasking. You can open an email be have way in typing email and go oh where was the meeting place again run gps find a location, then go oh wait I wonder if John would like to join us and check and see if join is logged on aim or google then go back to your email at the same exact just like you left it not a draft the actually program. I had 15 programs opened at once and yes I did experience some lag but it was beautiful I almost shed a tear lol. Butthats basically my little review on the pre. I could go further but its already an essay dont want to make it my doctorate now lol. Will I be going to a palm pre honestly dont see it. I use bb messenger way too much and like i said I work for Verizon and I get my company phone free. Now for my personal line I am not going to lie I am real tempted. But only time will see. Whats other opinion on the Pre? Me mine is a LIKE.
