I was looking forward to my first ebay pirchase. However, I was let down by my purchase. The owner said the only damage to the phone was a crack by the power button and that didn't effect the phone at all-which it didn't.

I purchased the Palm Pre from Verizon. We have been Verizon customers for nine years and assumed the Palm Pre would have the same reliability as the other devices Verizon has provided. We got the phone strictly for the HotSpot capability. This was on the recommendation of Verizon.

I love this phone! It is certainly the best I've owned so far. The expandable memory you speak of is news to me. Oh, wait, that's because it is a lie! Why don't you go back and correct your listed specifications for this model to reflect the truth?

Short extract: The Palm Pre is Palm's first device to run WebOS, where most of their latest devices were running Windows Mobile 6.x or the extremely old Palm Garnet OS . The WebOS is based on Linux and includes a very iPhone-like, elegant, attractive and animated user interface.
Conclusion: The Palm Pre seems to be squarely aimed at potential iPhone users who would rather use Sprint. The animated rounded-corners interface and hacked-together iTunes support make that pretty obvious. Palm even added a number of things that Apple has long been horrible at, including stereo bluetooth, a

Short extract: “Pre” is an odd name for a device that drops late into a corporate drama already loaded with twists, turns and setbacks. But if Palm is indicating that its new phone kicks off a new phase, maybe the Pre is aptly named after all.

Short extract: After 6 months of hype and eager anticipation that didn't quite reach iPhone -level hysteria, the Palm Pre is finally here. Currently exclusive to Sprint in the US (it's also available in Canada on Bell), the Pre is the first iPhone contender that's actually in the same league.
Conclusion: Conclusion A most excellent start from Palm with their first new Web OS smartphone. The hardware is attractive and the Pre looks great, feels great (albeit slippery and fingerprint-y) and is smaller than the iPhone and many other touch screen smartphones.

Short extract: We haven't seen so much buzz over a phone since the iPhone , but for the past six months, all eyes have been on the Palm Pre. Introduced at CES 2009, the Palm Pre quickly became the most anticipated phone of the year, not only for what it meant for Palm and Sprint--two companies struggling behind...
Conclusion: The Palm Pre's sales package contents are similar to the Palm Treo Pro. The smartphone ships with an AC adapter, a Micro-USB cable, a wired-stereo headset, a soft-protective pouch, a recycling envelope, and reference material.
