In the legal sphere! Maybe.

Pre

It's Intellectual Property snobbery like Timmy's that's going to steer me away from the Mac for a while longer.
It was Apple who used the name iPhone before Apple had paid another manufacturer for legal use of the name.
Typical of Apple that those costs get passed to the consumer!
Go Pre!

iPhone vs Palm Pre

When the iPhone with all its "wonderful" innovations can't even produce a phone with simple "cut and paste" and "universal seach" functionality---the Pre is a slam-dunk winner! (And it has a replaceable battery, something the iPhone folks refuse to offer (because it will cut into its after-sales profits since you have to return the iPhone for "repair" when the battery goes! Good thing Apple doesn't make flashlights!!).

Actually...

The cut and paste is missing from the Iphone. Hopefully it will show up at some point, but don't get all gaga yet.
The battery not being replaceable allows the Iphone to be as thin as it is. Since they don't have to worry about consumer safety they can fit it in nicely. This is a design choice, one way or another it's an issue, but it has more to do with design than with getting the customer.

The Pre itself looks kind of gaudy to me. I had the first 3 decent palm devices, and honestly I was never happy with any of them. While they had the innovation to actually make a PDA, they were never really good at it. Hand spring, Black Berry, Dell/HP all came out and did it better. Now suddenly they have something that's half way decent, and compared to their previous product line it's awesome, but still not awesome.

granted, but dont be stupid...

Cust and paste, yes, dumb to leave it off. Needs to be added. Ive learned to live without it and I haven't needed it since.

However, the replaceable battery arguement is ridiculous. The iPhone has a year warranty, which covers half of the 2 year contract. If its bad, then it will show in the first 12 months. Ive had my 3g for 2 weeks now and my battery life was horrible the first 5 days because I was using the hell out of it. Lately, its been great He could probably upgrade to the 3g but likes the metal back.

iPhone, hands down, is the best smart phone out there. The HTC devices are a close second. The Treo is junk (I had one) and won't ever go back to Palm.

iPhone vs. Palm pre

If you don't have cut and paste I don't consider you as a smartphone.. Apples iPhone lack in a lot of ways. No flash or light for camera, no cut copy and paste, no mms messaging. These are basic functions for smart phones and the iPhone has none can u really consider it a smartphone. I just think people just love the name of the company rather than the phone. Waste of money.. Let's go palm pre can't wait for it to launch.. Forget iPhone you guys are wasting money and time with the iPhone..

Either way you look at it Microsoft Data Center management did not follow standards or best practices in this failure. In which case it makes me wonder more about the outsourcing of corporate data much less personal data.
