We aren't trying to lump these two together or anything, but we figured we'd give those of you who opted for Palm's second set of webOS handsets an opportunity to pool your thoughts in order to make the smartphone landscape an even better place to survey. We personally didn't find too much new to laud on Verizon's Palm-branded twofer compared to the original Pre and Pixi, and those of you who were hoping for all new hardware from the company at CES were undoubtedly let down. Still, there's something to be said about a webOS product on America's "largest 3G network," and frankly, we're interested in hearing how you'd change things. Would you have overhauled things more drastically? Expanded the screen size? Bumped the resolution? Enlarged the keys? Go on and tell Jon exactly what you think in comments below -- who knows, the Pre Plus Plus might just carry your calling card.

Perhaps a much enhanced Pre would become an entirely new model. Having choice between two is not much. Why not licensing WebOS to other manufacturers?
ReplyDeleteThe Pre could use a larger screen with a narrower bezel. A better camera/lens. And of course a 1GHz Spapdragon cpu. Some apps could be more useable if they were "sticky" in the desktop (weather, clock). I would also expand on the Touchstone principle with in-car options.
But as a whole I love my (1st gen) Pre, even with its QWERTZ keyboard. Wouldn't swap it for the world.
