Palm Pre Reviews
The reviews are starting to come in on the Palm Pre. Reviews from Engadget, Gizmodo, Walt Mossberg, and David Pogue. All the reviews seem positive for the most part. I don’t think I’ll be swayed to leave my iPhone though. I hate Sprint more than any other cellphone carrier I’ve ever had.
