  You have to spend extra just to get holidays on the calendar by buying “Holidates”: this is pure and simple gouging. Why does any other organizer or calendar on the market anywhere have holidays already on their pages or software if they have a scheduling program used to organize? Would you buy a calendar without holidays printed on it? I have been taken for a fool by the palm company and this is not anywhere near appropriate treatment for a good customer. I have had several palm products and I will never buy one again because of this. It has caused me problems with the Labor Day holiday due to the fact that my old holidates does not go on my new palm. Rip off…. When you buy a palm, you someday may have to shell out money for the number “0″ to function. I’ll start the company “Buy Your Palm Zero Key” and everyone will have to shell out $10 for it or they won’t be able to use zero. Maybe I’ll send palm 20% for allowing me to do this.
  
  I do not even know if this is corrected on the “Pre”. Why would it be when all other palm products have had a datebook or organizer without any holidays posted.

  purchased the Pre + 450 Sprint Plan, vehicle charger, and touchstone kit for $168. I returned all 3 items in about 20 days. I also received a $100+ bill from Sprint. to date I have received $62 refund. The Sprint guys are telling me since I never activated it and returned it that it would be refunded. The Amazon guys are telling me that the Sprint folks have to refund the money.

  I expect to lose money in the shipping but, I payed $168 and returned all three items in the same box plus an additional $100+ bill from Sprint. Where’s my MONEY?

  If you buy something and return it in the same condition then we as customers expect a full refund.

  To be to the point, the palm pre has AWEFUL quality control. The one I recieved had so much side to side wobble, one would think the phone actually slid sideways… Well it shouldn’t! I didn’t bother turning it on, I returned it the same day. If you think I’m the only one with this problem, think again and head to You Tube for the MANY vids with people with the same prob. This phone is hardly the “iPhone” killer, if you’re thinking between the two go iPhone…I wrote this review on my iPhone.

  Two weeks ago I purchased the Palm Pre at a [...]. Once I got home I started playing with this device. The phone felt like it was meant for a five year old. I slid it open and tried to use the miniature keyboard. Terrible design for such a high tech device. The touch screen is pretty kool but not for me. The camera and HD
  
  features where fantastic. Yet the phone did not feel durable enough for me. I immediately went and exchanged the phone for the Blackberry Tour 9630. Let me tell you the blackberry is more user friendly. It also has the HD capabilities and live TV,NFL Network. It also has the 3.2 megapixel camera. I am a police officer and most of my friends have the Blackberry curve. We are very hard on our cell phones. I highly recommend an “OtterBox” cell phone case to protect your device. The palm pre is for people that have a desk job or a student. Definately not for demanding occupations such as Police Swat,Firefighters or specialized units in our armed forces.
