It kills me when someone says that Palm is copying Apple’s touch screen. Where was Apple when the Palm Pilot PDA WITH TOUCH SCREEN was introduced to the world in the mid-nineties? Not even dreaming about the iPhone, I can promise you. And for those who hate Sprint becuz they cancelled a handful of people who repeatedly called CSV, tying up the lines and looking for credits they didn’t deserve, you need to get your facts straight. I started with Nextel in ‘96, and then migrated to Sprint in 2004, and I’ve never had a problem that wasn’t taken care of quickly and courteously. That makes 13 years with them, and I’m not leaving!

The thing is the palm pilot is a copy of the Apple newton that existed from 1989-1998. It had a touchscreen, applications, notes, it could synchronize to the desktop, portrait keyboard, handwriting recongition, copy and paste, etc. Their was no wireless netwoking because wifi did not exist when it first came out. Palm released their first palm pilot in 1996, 7 years after the newton. And look at their features and interface, pretty damn similar.

iPhoneBoi for President in 2016!

I'm going with the natural evolution of the iPhone, the Palm Pre.

Oh, & Sprint now has a rewards system for high $ users & long time customers, which lets you upgrade after only 12 months, although you don't get as steep a discount as you would after 24 mos.

As long as the Cover Flow works in portrait. I don’t want to have to keep turning my phone sideways just to switch tabs.

But Palms sucks because it’s not from Apple.

And Cingular/ATT has been horrible to me and you'd need to point a bigger gun at my head and pull the trigger before I'd ever sign with that anti-customer corporation again. If you haven't been with Sprint for the last six months you wouldn't know. I've been with Cingular for six years and couldn't wait for that contract to expire. I've been with Sprint five now and am ready to re-up. Cheap, consumer-centric (trust me on this) and pretty damn reliable.

I'll be hanging on to my 755p until PP arrives.

Thanks for the chuckle, iPhoneBoi. I was going to respond in flames but your parody was too obvious.
