Default I'm giving up on Palm

after being a loyal customer for 12 years, the lack of customer support and the subpar products they put out finally pushed me into a droid.
the latest is the palm centro. their software is incompatible with 64-bit computer so when I switched computer, I am forced to buy a bluetooth adapter to back up my data. after searching the net for hours to find solutions/suggestions on how to set this up (palm website is quite useless), the thing is temperamental and works about 30% of the time.
I heard that the Palm Pre is nicer but I'm not going to find out.
good bye palm.

yup, wife has droid and she's very happy.

the palm centro I have is buggy and I can only use some of its feature. Verizon store is no help.
palm customer support is crappy.

I think that Palm should be bought and made a better company. There are still plenty of loyal customers out there but they're rapidly changing platform due to frustration.

I enjoyed my pre for the year or so I had it. I really wanted an android phone but listen to music about 10 hours of my day and its just too convenient to have an phone and ipod all in one. I hate the douche-bag factor of the iphone though.

Palm was bought.. by HP.. 3 months ago.

WebOS on the Palm Pre and and Pixie is a great OS, but hardware and marketing held it back. Hopefully HP will do great things with WebOS 2.0.

And Android phones play music fine.. just can't sync to itunes.

I almost semi-detest the way Apple does business, pricing, and itunes. I hate being an "iphone owner", much in the way I would hate being a BMW owner. I just don't wanna be in that segment.

That being said.... much like the M3 is an amazing car that I'd love to own, I couldn't find a phone that did as much of what I wanted it to do and as easily as the Iphone .
