Compare - Palm Pre vs. Samsung Moment

by Kevin on February 15, 2010

Palm Pre Plus for Sale!

Palm Pre vs. Samsung Moment, which phone you would buy? Great smartphones at great prices (online ONLY). Although I like the bigger keyboard on the Moment after a bit of hands on comparison, I still prefer the Pre because it runs smoother, especially the web browser (zoom in and out). In addition, the Pre weighs only 4.8 oz compared to 6.2 oz from Moment. Palm Pre or Samsung Moment? I will choose the Pre.

I believe you sir are biased.
Its okay to prefer the pre, but too call the keyboard “spacious” is by far the dumbest claim I have ever heard. Less slant would be nice.
Just come out and say you like the pre more. You may get more respect.

Isn’t everyone biased…it’s called being human.

Look at Cnet and their podcasters and see how biased things really get. First they loved the iPhone, 2G, 3G and now barely talk about the 3GS or simply won’t put up with what Apple is not offering compared to everyone else. Cnet claimed the the Palm Pre was going to be the best product in 2009 (winning Cnet’s CES 2009 Best of Show) and then quickly changed their mind when the Droid arrived even as half baked at it was. Now both the Pre and the Droid are past tense and all they can mention is the Nexus One and iPad. Yikes, I’m glad I have my Palm Pre and not stuck using on T-Mobile and Att service for my smartphones.

Can’t wait to see people using their new iPad devices on ATT’s super network. Speaking of the article, yes he may be slanted, but I loved the review nonetheless and Palm’s recent update of webOS 1.4 also added Video MMS with the addition of Video Recording on Palm webOS devices.

Thanks, Sorli…

Oh and I almost forgot…Palm provided webOS 1.4 update for free and for all Palm webOS devices, not just the most recent units. Unlike Apple that only updates features on it’s latest and greatest devices, sorry iPhone 2G and 3G users…looks like its time to buy another phone. Sorli…
