IMHO the thread title is misleading.

It's not a Palm site (in which Palm really owns it), but a Palm fan based site (just like MR for Apple).

Now that looks like a little red eared slider. Fast little bastards they are, but we all know that turtles represent slowness. So doe this mean that the pre is slow and can only take a small bite off of Apple?
 
And 95% of Pre owners couldn't care less. I'm not even sure why Palm decided to work with iTunes, there are way better solutions out there. The only reason I used iTunes was when I owned an iPhone and I had no other choice. At least the Pre is recognized by my computer as a mass storage device out of the box, makes my life easier.

Not trying to say you are wrong or get on you or anything like that, but you are one of about 3 people I always see voicing that you don't care about the whole iTunes sync issue. Either the others do really care or there are just that few Pre users out there.
 
Lol thought this was about the pre

I enjoy my iPhone. My sn is just being humorous

:).

As far as me lasting I will contribute with good thoughts

never the fanboy thank u

Some of those don't even make sense. I mean come on. So Palm Pre is the worm that infests the apple slowly eating its way out from its core like a cancer. Or its a former heavyweight boxer that had children with every woman he said hello to thus conveying the message that palm pres are like womanizing men- just waiting to get in your pants. I just don't get it. I think the scariest one was the one of the hand eating an apple. so are they saying that a palm pre is the most hideous scariest mutant form of an smartphone it is just waiting to come up and do horrible things to you when you are not looking. Hmmm Makes me wonder.

I think someone wasnt hugged enough by their father when they were young.
 
apple is a strong company and will only grow bigger with more customers.. nothing will stop them, not that they should be stopped.
and other companies are scared from that and try all kinds of things to get back their customers.
 
No... That's just a disgruntled Palm community forum... Not linked with official Palm at all.

One thing I find that's funny about that site is the similarities with this one. Same whiners, same disappointments, same empty threats of lost business. On top of that, you don't need to go far to find anti-apple sites on the net.
 
A couple of threads, half the the threads on that site is bashing Apple, most people on this site don't give a damn about the Pre, the only reason the Pre even comes up on this site is when you have stories like the recent itunes hacking debacle. Do you see people on this site developing such caricature?

Get off your f*cking high horse. Let the people on their forum talk about whatever the hell they want, without some high and mighty mac user bashing their content.

Are you some special person because you have an iPhone and are a member of MacRumors? This forum has just as many bad posts, like people trying to defraud apple, and posts about Palm bad-mouthing apple on their website... oh, that's right, that website is not affiliated with palm in any way.
1) get your facts straight.
2) stop complaining
 
Uh oh! Goona is having a hard time - somebody call the waaambulance.

Seriously, you would think hes never seen a forum before. What do you expect from that site - people with iPhones gloating?

*Facepalm* - It's common sense people. If you don't like it, don't go there. But don't expect this site to be any difference on the opposite end.
 
I dig a lot of them, even uploaded a few to alternate as my WP.

Thanked them for the pics... but linked to that whacky commercial with that annoying chick talking about past lives.... weird.
 
I have about 250 posts on PreCentral; I joined because I thought I'd get the Pre before I ended up getting the 3GS.

They are HUGELY anti-iPhone and call anyone who even provides facts to correct their misconceptions about the iPhone a fanboy. This was an exchange I had with a member, condensed for brevity:

Him: "The iPhone only has multi-touch in two native apps, haha, it sux!"
Me: "Actually the iPhone's multi-touch works in maps, safari, mail, photos, and stocks. Can't you at least get some legitimate disadvantages on the iPhone instead of making stuff up?"
Him: "You're just a fanboy, I never said iPhone had limited multitouch"

I'm not even joking. They are absolutely crazy. They think the iPhone hasn't changed since 1.0. Literally.

That being said, Apple people on this site are almost just as bad. Just read the Pre threads: "it sux, why do u need multi-tasking lolo, it's a phone!!1".

And of course, there's this thread.

Pot, meet kettle.

And those are just threads you've started, I've seen many of your posts in other threads bashing the Pre for no particular reason, I just don't have time to go find them all right now. You seem to be the only one here who gives enough of a damn about the Pre to keep posting about it on this site.
 
Right but you don't see Macrumors users creating crap like that relating to Palm or the Pre. The only reason you here mention of the Pre or Palm is when they pull stunts like they are currently doing with itunes. Meanwhile Precentral is an Apple and iphone hate site.

Granted they may be a bit over the top, we can't be ignorant and think macrumors is completely innocent.
 
Just a little perspective:

I joined this site in 2007 when I got my first Mac, a few weeks later I waited on line for the first iPhone.

This site was the main reason I got the Mac, because of the wealth of knowledge and information.

When considering the Pre I joined over at Precentral and have been rather impressed with the information sharing. As is the case with Macrumors you might find one in every five threads to be something worth reading, and responding to.

Of course they have people on there who hate competing companies and products, just as you have here.

Unfortunately it seems that message boards for phones are dominated by end of the spectrum contributors and the logical middle is cut out.

I see macrumors as a much better forum, but when comparing the iPhone section of macrumors it is pretty similar to Precentral.
 
That being said, Apple people on this site are almost just as bad. Just read the Pre threads: "it sux, why do u need multi-tasking lolo, it's a phone!!1".
Almost just as bad? Bring up PCs to your typical MR user and they'd react as if Gates and Dell pissed in their Wheaties, shot their dog, stole their girl, and framed them for a crime they didn't commit all in the same day!:D Apple fanboys have become a little less belligerent as Apple has become more popular but roll the clock back eight or nine years to when Apple was really struggling and it was a regular occurrence to see someone start a PC or Windows bashing thread w/Bill Gates Photoshopped up as Hitler.

Precentral.net has fanboys but they also have a ton of great info about the Pre, just like MR has fanboys as well as a ton of great info about Apple.
