Thread: Why does the hardware suck so bad?!

okay well im having my grammy (im only 17) return the pre to best buy tomorrow so she can get her money back and cancel out so i can buy the pre on amazon.com for $79 and get a waived activation fee ! (: now if there are issues, i can possibly stomach them better knowing i only paid $79 and not $150 but im hoping it comes in with no dead pixels <3

should stuck with the other one man

Amazon.com: Palm Pre Phone (Sprint): Cell Phones & Service

My wife and I had pretty good luck with our Pre's, we had them since July and both have had zero problems and are on our 1st devices. She has 2 dead pixels that we didn't notice until last month, but they only are noticeable with the boot screen up. Really no complaints besides the random laggyness. Glad we went with Palm and stuck with Sprint (long time customers).

i've had my pre since june.. no dead pixels.. no oreo effect (probably cause i don't twist it to see if it will).. no problem.. it is a little battered because i've dropped it a couple times

My first pre was horrible, second was perfect but the touch screen died, and this one is perfect but with like 4 dead pxs. Only one is white so I just decided to roll with it and its been good and strong ever since. You just gotta get one with the least amount of issues you can stand because i think its too hard to find a perfect one.

Maybe that why the Canadians aren't complaining as loud. It's 50 there. Unbelievable that palm is still pushing crappy built phones. The software is great but the hardware plain sucks. Let's see what problems...

I've had to replace my pre for various reasons and have had no problem with the replacements. Give the replacement a chance. If you are within 30 days, you can replace it until you're satisfied.

It isn't 50 bucks where I live. It's 100.
