Why I Like my Palm Pre: Short User Review of the Palm Pre

Zainab from the US is my blog's follower and a fellow Twitter friend. She has been using Palm Pre for quite a while and she has only one thing to say, "The Palm Pre is Hot". Why she thinks this way..well read her take on the Palm Pre and you will come to know why she thinks that the iPhone is like Olive Oyl and Palm Pre is like Jessica Rabbit.


I love my palm pre. Then again, I've been with Nextel for 10+ years (you can't beat free incoming coupled with a coast to coast walkie-talkie feature) meaning I've put up with painfully primitive, virtually featureless, and the most rugged phones one can imagine. So, the palm pre is quite a step up from a long history of Motorola phones designed for construction workers.


But it really is a great phone. The Pre functions very much like the iPhone with a touch screen and capacity to browse different applications with the flick of a finger. Perhaps the only limitation is the fact that only a fraction of applications are available for the Pre in comparison to the iPhone. But what I love about my pre, is that along with the touch screen, I have a drop down "QWERTY" keypad, the iPhone is restrictive to only a touch screen. This allows the iPhone a larger screen, but at the expense of freedom to text and respond to emails with the efficiency of a fully functioning keypad. Touch-screens are far more sensitive than actual keypads and therefore inherently more prone to error.


Drawbacks to the Pre? Battery life is weak and the speaker phone is even weaker. But I've heard similar criticism of the iPhone's battery. My mom and brothers both have iPhone, and although their applications look enticing, at the end of the day my Pre is still cute as compared to the iPhone.


The iPhone's look might be iconic, but it's borderline monotonous. The overly simplistic, geometric form makes it sterile looking. The pre is curvy, organic.....it's just sexy. Better yet, the iPhone is the cellular equivalent of Olive Oyl, while my Pre is Jessica Rabbit.


Thanks a lot Zainab for sending this review, which I think is well written and sticky. You can follow Zainab on Twitter and do visit her Blog and let her know what you feel about this review.

Nokia X6 Coming to UK in November...to India in Q1 2010??

Posted: 04 Nov 2009 06:03 PM PST

nokia-x6-music.jpgNokia introduced a new range of phones called the X Series at the Nokia World Event 2009 by announcing the launch of the two new X Series touch screen phones, the X6 and the X3. Both the phones target the music lover who wants to have his music on the go especially on mobile. As per Expansys, the X6 is all set for a UK launch on 12th November 2009. The X6 boasts of unlimited music as it comes with the Comes With Music service from Nokia, where users can download unlimited music tracks for a span of 12 months for free (network data charges are not included in this, you will have to pay for that). The tracks will remain with the user even after 12 months. The tracks can be easily downloaded on your phone or PC and transfered. Being a music phone, the X6 is supposed to have 30 hours of song playback time with extended battery, built-in stereo speakers, 32GB of internal memory, integration with the Ovi Store for games and Apps. Apart from this the phone has a 5 meg snapper with Car Ziess optics, 30fps DVD quality video recording, music mixing functionality. I hope they have improved the touch screen experience on the X6, which has a 3.2 inch screen with scratch resistant glass, now thats something, which is really cool. Now news on when the X6 comes to India but there was a rumor of the X6 and the X3 coming to India in Q1 2010.
