Default Pre gets smacked down by PC World
In almost every catagory the Pre can't hang.

The Hottest Smartphones of Summer Battle It Out - MSN Tech & Gadgets - Slide Shows - Products - 1

Believe it Sprinters, Pre is a failure.

It might be useless, but the Pre really is a failure.

I would have no use for a so-called smart phone with only 8 GB of onboard memory and no microSD card slot.

I agree with it needs more memory. That doesnt make it a bad phone though

It might not be bad for someboby new to smart phones. For an advanced user it does not offer enough. Just like a netbook might be ok for somebody who just wants to email, but somebody who wants to do more than just basic stuff needs a better computer.

Well hey, at least you can use the 8 GB for apps. Can't say the same for the microSD in a BlackBerry

might make it a failure in your eyes, but not everyones. Thankfully there are many choices out there for people who want specific things.

LOL so some blog is more credible than a real magazine now? ESPECIALLY a PC magazine (not Mac) rating an Apple product higher. Id call that far from bias.

you dont like their opinion, great. But people here shouldnt attempt to poorly discredit their personal opinion of it because it doesnt align with their own opinion/fanboyism

Right on.. Wait... My Aspire one is almost as good as my 15" Dell notebook that sits at home Minus CD-drive. (Ok not as good but it'll def. do anything the other can with an external ROM drive.)

So, I think you're opinions are flawed on the pre. While I don't agree it's fantastic, it'll do just fine as a smartphone. Some people don't need 32GBs on their phone.

One of the Engadget reviews said the Pre broke. That was one of the things PC World was afraid would happen.
