Just a person with little business skill but enough intelligence to see that your company isn’t failing due to poor advertisement or, inadequate training of service personnel. It seems due to the fact that you are alienating customers at a alarming rate. When you advertise something you have to live up to that verbal agreement of providing what your selling. False advertisement is a crime that misleads people into buying something they wouldn’t have bought if told all the facts. You’ll need a lot of luck and hard work to fix this mess you made. Maybe you should have read your forums more then you wouldn’t be stuck in a situation where your shares are downgraded to $0. Oh by the way are you selling the company too? I have 5 bucks.

A great phone had really high hopes for it. As someone else said I tell anyone who asks its great phone and a joy to use but dont bother it will be dead in less than 2 years. Why so long getting getting apps to Europe, you lot really missed the boat.

I too am a long term Palm PDA user and I always tell everyone how good the functions are and their integration. However, whist this is an excelent user interface and has great potential. I thought the built in day to day tasks and calendar functions would be on the same level as my Palm PDA. The task functions is too basic and I thought would at least be like an outliner with calendar integration, so I am carrying my old Palm PDA to carry out my tracking checklists which does what I want it to do. I am totally unhappy with the lack of quality paid for applications as my business depends upon it. Waiting for a big update is taking too long and we have a Ferrari without any fuel. I am locked into a two year contract and awaiting the next update. I will be forced to go elsewhere if we do not get quality business apps soon. Frustrated …Fantastic interface a Computer and easy to use. We need outliners with several levels and task several levels and agenda and calendar integration. Unless, I have missed something.

Ok, we’re here in March now – maybe Euro pre owners can start to enjoy the excitement of a full app catalogue? Me, I’m nervously atwitch with anticipation! I love the pre – the new 1.4 update is fantastic, giving a big improvement in performance.

Now for that full app catalogue – come on Palm, let’s have ‘em!

It made me laugh when I read today on engadget that Palm had announced that expected revenues for the fiscal year would be far less than previously announced. Apparently it was said to be because of slower than expected customer adoption and I can understand why.

In Europe especially you have treated all your customers as second rate customers. We waited months for the phone to be released. What was originally announced was a phone better than anything apple had to offer. By the time you let us have access to it, they had shown you the way yet again, even Android had better handsets available. I am sorry but the Pre Plus is too little too late and hey, in the uk we will be lucky to have access to it by the end of this year by which time yet again it will be obsolete as is my Pre already. Hey it can multitask, but seriously there are only so many thing it can actually do, and it is so laggy. I’m sorry but in this case being an early adopter has made me realise how little Palm understand about the mobile market. You lost your chance.

Your software updates are a joke, maybe if we were being provided them at a comparitive rate to the people in America it would be kind of acceptable, but we both know that isn’t how Palm work. Then there is the concept of a Paid app catalogue. Apple has one, Android has on, Palm has one (not in Europe they don’t) it is an abasolute joke.

Jon Rubenstein, I laugh in your face. I may have wasted an 18 month contract by signing up for a Pre, a massive mistake if you ask me. Your companies stupidity in treating the European market as second rate customers may have cost your company a lot more. You had a chance to compete and you have thrown it away.

Expecting you to upgrade all european phones to the Pre Plus would be a little arrogant, but please, do the right thing and give as our software updates in a timely manner, and sort out the European App catalogue before time runs out and any hope of competing is dead.

Goodness, and I almost got a Pre in london yesterday, really pleased I thought about it overnight, then found this, is there still no 1.4 or paid app? Its such a shame, as the UI is great. also the fact there’s a possibility of a Pre + why would anyone no get a normal Pre in europe? of to get a 3GS me thinks!
