masterofnone's review of the Palm Pre Plus (CDMA)
original version, submitted Jul 12, 2011, 1:22 PM:
I like it but there's a lot that bugs me
Pros
- Touch interface is good although the fact that Centro had "arrow" keys made it much better.
- Web browser is pretty good. I have some web sites that use frames which do not work.
Cons
- Cut/paste method is cumbersome. Either go to menu to select it (some apps don't allow it in certain areas), or press the control area of the screen while pressing the x or v key. Quite often you end up erasing the selection and replacing it with x or v.
- Text select method is cumbersome
- Palm Centro would silence ringtone when you touched anywhere on screen during an incoming call. That was very handy if you forgot to turn off ringtone.
- SMS Messaging doesn't give date and time of message like centro did
- SMS Messaging doesn't easily allow you to send sms messages to email addresses like centro did. Each time you want to send an sms message to an email address you have to 1 exit the current message thread (even if it is the person you are messaging) 2. Create a new message. 3. Completely type in the email address of the person you want to send to. You cannot select the address from the address book. Centro worked much better.
- No categories for memos
- Go back to previous screen doesn't work very well. I usually exit the app and start all over.

- Web browser is pretty good. I have some web sites that use frames which do not work.
- Begin typing anywhere and it searches everywhere for what you're typing and brings up the option to click on Google search, Wikipedia, etc. That's far superior to Android (don't know about iPHone.)
Cons
- Cut/paste method is somewhat cumbersome. Either go to menu to select it (some apps don't allow it in certain areas), or press the control area of the screen while pressing the x or v key. Quite often you end up erasing the selection and replacing it with x or v. I later mastered cut/paste.
