I went for 2, 3,4,5,6,7,8,9
the others are important, but I wouldn't nesessarily not buy another phone without them. Palm may not exist much longer without them though.
Quick explanations?
1. Like the current palm OS, but it does need an upgrade, and many people are leaving palm because of this. Still, not needed for me.
2.The reason I went for a centro over a 755, even though the screen size and keyboard are a killer
3.don't think this needs an explanation. as good as palm is, what good is a smartphone if you cant do two things at once...?
4.Not really a nesessitiy for most people, but WiFi is almsot everywhere now. Why suffer through slow "BROADBAND" phone data services, when you can connect to true broadband. Heck, my Sirius sat radio can connect with WiFi.. get your head out your butt palm.
5.For me, this isn't a huge deal breaker. The camera cuts the mustard.. barley.. for what I use it for. with that said, I wouldn't choose another palm phone with a 1.3mp camera when I can get other smart phones with 2+ now a days.. Why buy old technology?
6.Without a touchscreen AND a QWERTY keyboard, there are better options IMHO.
7.As horrible as sprint customer service is, that is not palms fault. Palms CS could be better, but they are selling goods to a carrier. In my opinion, its the carriers fault if there is a problem they can't fix, not palms, and its not palms duty to help the carrier every 2 seconds. if you don't like your carrier, switch..
8.Again, email barley cuts the mustard. I don't email every 2 seconds like some people though, so its ok for me. I use VersaMail for Gmail and Sprint mobile email for hotmail. the versa mail I really like (and I hear chattermail is incredible), the sprint mobile email is a joke. Again, not palms fault. If I had a real email account, and could strictly use versamail, I would be happy. Emails are quick and easy enough for me unless I am in sprint email garbage app.
9. I could go on and on about this one, but most of you already are aware I am sure. While blazer loads webpages with decent stability, thats about all it does well. That, and the JAVA support is a joke. With the internet being as large as it is now, web browsing really should be a priority for palm.
10.Again, just another cause of why buy old technology. While the current bluetooth doesn't bother me too much (minus the pairing randomly droping on almost every palm phone I have used), I don't see the point in buying something without stereo bluetooth now a days. Why buy a 1mhz computer when you can get a 2.5mhz for the same price?
And I will add one GPS. Come on palm. Get your head out of your butt and stop making us carry bluetooth recievers. Heres a hint, your bluetooth pairing has issues!! JUST ACTIVATE/ADD THE STUPID CHIP!
