Sorry, but since the Palm Pre is a US only phone through Sprint, the contest is open to US residents. Although you cannot enter, I do hope you'll stick around.

Deadline for "Release Date Bingo" is when Palm and/or Sprint announces the official release date for the public. The rest will be based off of the release date. I will be sure to provide everyone ample time to submit their entries. 4 of the 5 contests will end on or around the official release date.

Please let me know that I can integrate all of my contacts, using the Navigator from the contact list, compose email or SMS messages from the same list, etc. I want it all (smile, greedy me). Especially, I want to make sure that I can read the font size, can change to suit my needs? Most cell phones have 0.2 font size (just kidding, but you all know what I am talking about)... this has been the major reason I have switched phones so often. Promised font size (extra large, large, medium, small, etc.) not forthcoming in other phones.

Another hopeful is if there is a way to have a separate external keyboard either connnected through a USB connection or wirelessly that is reliable and accurate. Some of us have stubby fingers, and when trying to do a document on a phone, or lengthy email, next to impossible. Will the PRE have that capability? (Say "yes!", por favor!)

Will Palm Pre be really get an edge over Apple iPhone? It's gonna be real tough competing with all those Apple iPhone Apps... Lately it seems all Palm Application development has taken a back seat, and will that continue?

Palm Pre only with SPRINT! Aaargh! Fortunately for me...my Verizon contract is OVER! Even though I'd rather be with the best coverage network...verizon. All I can say is........BRING IT ON SPRINT!!!

written by dbrown, May 14, 2009
heh... all the Verizon kool aid drinkers here crack me up... You all know that Sprint and Verizon are pretty much the same, roaming is off each other and coverage is a moot point because roaming is free on Sprint anyway!

So... won't go into how, but getting to play around with a Pre a bit today! Man, it's snappy fast and all the usability hype has been justified!

Although I'm worried about Sprint's coverage here on the Monterey Peninsula, nobody's very good -- how much worse can Sprint be?

Come on, Sprint, more towers please -- make my Pre more useful than my current BlackBerry!

Listen to all of you people, there is going to be a store limit of one per person. And if you think you are going to buy one out-right you have another thing coming. They will be allowing you only to upgrade the device, yes that’s correct signing a 2 year contract. And the price wow for it not being a I-phone. pretty expensive don’t you think. Limited quantities I repeat limited quantities.....Good luck to all that think they will be getting this infamous Palm Pre!!!!!!!!!

I need to win the palms pre-because its exactly what I have been waitting for for a long time now, and all the other phones I seem to get, are realy poor quality in most every thing, this one i have now, i have had to get a replace ment twice now and need anotther one already just a week and a half after receiving the last one but, just keep getting the same problems, I need a good lasting phone, so I do not have to keep fighting for a new, different model phone that works, with what i pay for. And My phone I have to have, for medical reasons, and family issues not just for fun and games.
