I’m sure by now you’ve all seen my fascination with Sprint Nextel and Palm. I think Sprint has a great network (nice and speedy…nice!) and Palm is an interesting case as they’ve gone from market innovator to laggard and now possibly leader (or at least competitor) again with the Pre. Examined separately, each company has [...]

It’s been a while since the Palm Pre was announced at CES and I’m still buggin’ for it. I tire of looking around and seeing everyone with their fancy little iPhones and I’m using a phone that you’d see Sonny Crockett talking on back in the ’80s. I try not to read too much about [...]

So there I was with my new job and I had the “joy” of going through the process of choosing a new cell phone for work. They have a cell phone plan that pays $50/month for a voice plan so we could have a work line. I’ve already got a Palm Treo 755p with Sprint [...]

After watching them release weak update after weak update, I wasn’t sure what to expect out of their next phone. I’m more than pleased with what I see so far and am willing to stick with Sprint [...]

We already knew the iPhone was taking the consumer market by storm, but this jump to number two in the enterprise is big news for the people up there in Cupertino. Palm is making it [...]

Unless you’ve been living in a cave for the past two years you’ve undoubtedly heard of this iPhone thingy. Some computer company decides to make a phone. Mac fanboys everywhere have been speculating and drooling over the prospects of an Apple-created phone. Pundits everywhere dismissed the notion. Even after its release, it was met with [...]

Why Palm, why?!?! It’s not ground-breaking news, but it is official news at least (rather than the many rumors that were flying around for a while). Palm’s next OS, code-named Nova, is due to come out in the third quarter of 2009. Two thousand NINE!!! Originally slated to come out at the end of 2008 [...]

Ok…I’m STILL frustrated with Sprint. I’ve been out of town for a bit and unfortunately haven’t been able to voice thse frustrations and give reasons why they frustrate me (while also clearing up some misconceptions and mistakes from previous posts. Can’t have the readers thinking I don’t know what I’m talking about..) Frustration number one…the [...]

I’ve got the Palm Treo 755p that I use on Sprint’s network. Perhaps you’ve seen me write about it in a previous post here. Sprint’s network is nice and fast and I’ve had no problems with it. I’d love to stay on with them. I also love my Treo. I’ve got loads of apps on [...]
