Palm Pre Review Roundup! (OK Only the Negative Stuff)

Yay! Bitching about a cell phone! How exciting!

I love what Engadget had to say about the phone:

“Besides the standard issues we had with the construction of the phone, we did spot another peculiar problem we hope is just a one-in-a-million fluke with the test device we were given: it physically broke… There is a small flap that covers the MicroUSB port, and while attempting to get the thing open, a thin piece of plastic which runs along the bottom of the casing just snapped. Now, we’re not saying this is a widespread problem—in fact, reps at Palm claimed this was the first time they’d seen it happen—but it was a little disconcerting.”

Personally I found this paragraph hilarious!

I also liked noting that the slide out keyboard has razor sharp edges that many reviews found potentially hazardous. Screw you Motorola! You call that a ‘Razr’? Well you obviously haven’t used the Palm Pre.

$10 to the first outlet to report someone cutting themselves on the Pre.
