| |  palm pixi or 9700?
i love webOS and would choose the pre but ALL pre's have dead pixels which drive me INSAAAAAAANE, but the pixi does not.
the 9700 is quite appealing though and i did love my bold, just not AT&Ts outrageous plans...
any input here?

Gotta give T-mobile credit they have stepped their phone selection up a lot. Two of the three phones that i'm currently interested in are slated for a release on t-mobile.

Until rim gets its browser fixed, and better os, it will be behind. webos > bb os
However, if you are not concerned with browsing, and only use your phone for messaging, the bb is for you.

Palm is not meeting their own expectations so far with webOs, I can guarantee you that. So far I don't see even close to a large number of devs jumping on the webOs bandwagon, which helps drive device sales, which helps increase the OS adoption...
So what does that all mean? You don't necessarily have to be ahead of the competition to beat them... I like my Pre a lot, but Palm is getting stomped by more than 1 competitor.

This using the same equipment, and putting it into another skin for rim will come back to bite them, if it already hasnt. Phones are really starting to get good, especially for 2010. Time will tell though. As for palm, I hope they get their act together. Web os has so much potential.

Tons of individual iphone devs have made more than Palm has.
I have a hard time thinking they are going to pull any devs away from BB or WM or iphone...

went with the 9700, LOVES IT! had a pixi and had a pre and hated them both. pre because of dead pixels and cheap feel; pixi because its too ******* small!
the 9700 is small, but super sturdy and has my favorite mobile keyboard ever made (the original bold's) and BEASTLY good battery life!

9700, no question about it, pre is tiny and crappy keyboard with no wifi... i think. 9700 has 3G, wifi, uma calling (if youre on t-mobile). Sure it might not have a pretty OS like the pre but it gets the job done right?? And i like the OS don't know why people complain about it. Plus 9700 has OS 5.0, which means it practically has no lag what so ever. Yeah the browser sucks on it, but u always have bolt or opera mini to use, and come summer of 2010, RIM is going to have a new browser for new blackberries, which would probably make it the best device out there, again. Just one question, other than the prettines of the pre's OS and the better browser, what's so good about it?

Top that off with a browser that is comparable to iphone's safari, card multitasking UI with up to 27 cards running at once, synergy, universal search, and some other stuff, not much I guess...

Got my hands on a Pixi for a few minutes yesterday. Found out qiuckly I needed pencil eraser sized thumbs, and I'm just not that into whittling.
Be a good one for teens, but just too uncomfortable for regular use, my hands started cramping in moments.
Cute screen, though.
Haven't seen the 9700 up close yet, but I hear it's nice.
