Wow, you are a huge fanboy. I love my iPhone, but I love it because of all the things I can do with it, not because it has a cute Apple symbol on it. Fortunately I don't need a phone that syncs with Outlook and has push email now, or else I wouldn't be owning an iPhone. If I had REAL business needs, just as if you did, we wouldn't be owning this phone. Seriously, you need to stop being such a fanboy though because it makes people like me embarassed to be carrying around an iPhone. This entire thread is embarassing and I'm going to never peek in here again and pretend that the majority of iPhone users are more mature then this. Nice job guys, you proving everybody elses point when they say iPhone users are immature little kids.
Of for the love of God.
Good grief mister. Get your panties out of a knot. I don't even own an iPhone yet. And yes I am a FAN WOMAN of Apple because I like the way they think. Unfortunately Microsoft doesn't "think" like they do. For my business needs, like yourself, I don't need a phone that syncs with Outlook and so on and so on. Like my friend on the other hand - he is online NON STOP. I mean MSN, Yahoo, AIM, Facebook, and MySpace all at one time 24/7 has to have access to his email, his website email, etc, etc, etc. The main reason he got a Palm Pre was the keyboard. He can't type on iPhone screen because he's got huge fingers.
Don't say you're embarrassed to carry an iPhone. I am going to be pleased as punch when I get mine because I despise my Blackberry now. I want an iPhone for the fact that they make things easy, and everything else it can do and the fact that I can pretty much combine 2 devices into one - iphone and ipod without having to carry both with me. I too, am buying the iPhone for everything it can do for me in my every day and business needs - not because of the f'n symbol. So don't start calling someone immature. The immature one is my friend who is DETERMINED to convince me that the Palm Pre is better by sending me articles and stats about the Palm Pre. I could care less that Palm came out with that phone. Do I think it's a cool phone. Yes. Have I been convinced I should go buy one - absolutely not. They are still having too many hiccups, etc with their phone - Apple has already gone through this. I for one do not have the extra cash to be dropping on a new phone here and there or whenever I feel like it. So I'm not going to go buy a Palm Pre knowing it's not what I want. When I buy the iPhone it's going to be my phone for quite awhile. I REALLY am not in the mood to deal with Sprint nor with having to take phones back time and again over and over like my friend has. The only thing that bothers me is that I wish Apple would get away from AT&T - that's all.
Did my posting say anything anywhere about the f'n symbol. No. I was merely making it known that my friend is now on his FOURTH PHONE........ Count them FOUR. I was only letting everyone know this because if anyone is considering buying a Palm Pre they should know, it's still not perfect. Do you feel like having to take back a brand new phone time and again because it's f'n up on you all the time? No, I think not. Your time is valuable just like anyone else's.
The other part of my posting dealt only with the f'n stupid Palm Pre commercial. Was I favoring the Apple commercial - no. I think Palm was stupid to go this route. Yes it's making people talk about it - does it make me want to buy a Palm Pre - no - it just makes me hate the piece of crap even more and the f'n commercial puts me to sleep.

Calm down.
You may like their products, but they are just trying to profit off of you.
I've returned five iPhone's, for legitimate reasons. Not one pixel being dead. Without data on the Pre's reliability compared to the iPhone, anecdotal reports mean close to nothing.
The commercial sucks, but because it is in China? C'mon...

Where did the cliche that no press is bad press come from anyway? It's definitely not true. Just ask former governer blagoivich(sp?) or Michael Jackson if he was still alive. I think you'll find that there definitely is such a thing as bad press.
Just watched it...it was pretty interesting how they actually made the "Flow" ad and what all of the different formations were meant to represent. Pretty cool stuff.
Coming from a current iPhone user who switched from a Pre, these commercials really do suck. They seem to get worse and worse in my opinion. Also, although I returned my Pre, I am a fan of the device. That being said I still think the commercials suck. Would they turn me away from buying one? No. Would they make me interested in one? No.
Simply put, Palm, a struggling company, really needs to get a new advertising firm working on their commercials. I really am pushing for the Pre, and hope it succeeds and thrives. It's a good device and deserves to do well, hardware quality and advertising just need to improve.
