Palm's webOS Can Tell If You're Going to Be Late for Meetings
KICK ASS
Seriously, I love this phone, I wish Sprint got better reception where I live. At the office it will be sweet.
Good job Palm!
But now I get it, very funny.
Hopefully software will ALWAYS ask us what we the user prefers, and not ever make decisions for us, the user.

I can't let you do that dave
Thats the best comment! 🤣 I think every wise competitor will be looking closely at features like this 😁
I'm beginning to think this is the iphone buster.
Can anyone clear the exclusivity part up?
Which means for 6 months to a year, Sprint will be stealing a lot of customers.
Sprint has full and complete exclusivity!

Not Necessarily. Phones are only licensed for a set period of time with any one carrier. if after the original contract (usually 6mos - 2yrs) any phone manufacturer wants to license their phones to other carriers, they can.
What part of that do you not understand?!
According to the press materials, Palm hadn't intended to announce a timeframe for the 3G GSM version of the Pre this week, but Ed Colligan can pretty much do and say whatever he pleases -- it's one of the perks of wearing the CEO hat -- and he's apparently mentioned in an interview with IDG that it'll roll out in the first half of 2009. That puts the model right in line with the launch window for the CDMA-based Sprint version, giving the carrier virtually zero exclusivity on the global stage -- so if 1337 h4x0rz can figure out how to unlock the thing (and if we were betting folk, we'd wager they can), this all means EDGE-only Pr...

Who's to say the same thing can't happen with the Pre?
And the Cricket store next door will unlock your phone for you if they think you're going to set up service with THEM on it... you can just say you changed your mind after you get it flashed... 🤣

Check the CES blogs and you'll see. Rich Brome was at CES, and I think he mentions it on the discussion page when he's answering questions about the Pre as well as the blog mentioning it being exclusive to Sprint...
In fact, if I remember correctly, one of the sentences reads something like: "...When the announcement was made that the Pre was going to be exclusive to Sprint for at least 6 months, no one in the audience clapped."
... Ha. Well we'll see who'll be clapping when it's crushes iPhone sales. At least the battery isn't soddered into the Pre. 🤣

....but Sprint was not the best partner to go with; but rather the last for an exclusive. AT&T (iPhone), Verizon (BB Storm), T-Mo (G1). 🤣
What are you talking about?! Out of ALL the carriers, Sprint has the best relationship with Palm! That's why Sprint is getting the Palm PRO AND the PRE and the PRE is going to be an exclusive handset to Sprint for at least 6 months!
