Well, in a few weeks or month (Rumors are around), ze Pre vill be afaileble in Germany. And according to a statement of a big network company WITHOUT sim- or netlock. So there is a GSM-version available soon. Maybe also in the US? Or you have to import it.

I don’t know. I test drove Pre for about two hours. I liked it but I didn’t love it. It’s also a CDMA phone. Really, who wants CDMA in this era of GSM? CDMA is a vanishing system. CDMA makes it a no go for me altogether.

oh and i didnt think transfer of music and movies were bad. it took like 4 and a half minutes to transfer a copy of dark knight to my phone it was 1.6 gigs too. i made it and moved it with a free palm pre program alot like itunes called double twist 2.0. it formated and transfered it to my pre automaticlly and it was perfect. it all seemed fast on my computer, im using windows 7

this Phone is amazing, i waited outside a best buy for 13 hours, and got the 3rd one out of 4, we had 25 people in line, and i got to say im in love with this phone. what other phone can stream pandora and give you turn by turn directions at the same time over bluetooth, it fades the music back while it tells you to turn, and fades it back. i love this phone.

Are you supposed to do those file transfers over WiFi anyway? Can you update it for a WiFi file xfer shootout?

Great review!

Hey Dr. Phone, just got the Pre, couldnt agree with your analysis more….. webOS is awesome. Loaded Dark Knight onto the phone and it took 20 minutes, but playback once it loaded was good.

@Slimjimmy Can’t wait to see your response once you get one. Thanks for the support.
@Rick, we have contacted Palm to see if this a known issue no response yet, we have heard this from multiple people. Regardless USB downloading is horrible, have you tried to download a movie? I’d like to hear your experience too.
@Preeeee good to hear your feedback, will update if we hear back from Palm on the OMAP3430 connection issue

I don’t know why you’re having problems with setting the phone to USB mode. When I plug my Pre in to my computer I just click USB mode on the Pre and I’m set. You may want to contact Palm to have them troubleshoot your issue.
