Palm Pre Plus and Pixi Plus pricing made public?

I would have considered this phone but the Verizon network is poor where I live. I live in Rancho Santa Margarita, CA. by the way.

I’ve had 2 troubletickets opened with them after reporting deteriorating signal quality and inbound callers going straight to voicemail.

I’d really prefer to go over to a GSM carrier, but I think only Sprint has this phone in the US right? Does anyone know if Sprint has better service in South County (Orange County, CA.)?

Both new Verizon handsets will arrive on the market on January 25th; however neither Palm nor the carrier have announced pricing or not. They’ve also not revealed what extra fees there might be for tethering functionality…

I like Verizon.

I personally love the look and feel of the pre however I could do without the glossy feel of the buttons, I wish they had the same feel of the touch pro 2. Im curious if they fixed the oreo affect the original pre had. I would defiantly get the pre however I bricked my htc vogue flashing android over and the only reasonable choices were droid and the eris and the eris is slow and its very noticeable. Oh well craigslist here i come.

I’ve noticed everyone is commenting/bickering about carriers, however it’s really about which company gives you better service and accommodates you, so don’t call a company horrible for you not getting service, i get great service and had bad service with att but I don’t bash them.

Still waiting for Verizon to give us better service They’ve ignored my neighborhood since the beginning of time. Every other carrier has service here that works.

I really want this phone, but the terrible customer service I had with Sprint will make sure I never go with them ever again.

Get this phone on a bad network or with a company with terrible customer service? Decisions.

I know you have probably tried but it could help giving them a call and getting one of their guys our there to do a test and they will decide if it is worth putting a extra tower up.

Yeah but one thing about the Verizon pre plus is that i noticed it shows EV. Remember Verizon did say they will eliminate the EV symbol on phones & but 3G so does it apply here?

just got back from chicago. I went with a group of friends and collectively we had a phone from each major company. Guess which worked the best… Not my friends storm 2 on vzw, not my pre on sprint, but my friends iphone on att and my gfs mytouch on tmob worked perfectly. Bottom line is every companies commercials are full of shit and tmobile is much better than people give them credit for

so your friend bought a Storm 2? Sounds like a sharp guy!

I like the pricing. Verizon should sell a lot of them. The BOGO will definitely boost sales. Pre for the husband and Pixi for the wife. I like it.

I wish it had the same feel of the touch pro 2.

Switching networks isn’t going to save the Pre. Palm needs to fix the major problems with it before people will be satisfied.

Paying double the price per month isn’t going to change anything about this phone.

Just wondering: Why not picture the Pre Plus instead of the standard Pre?

You can check the power of the Sprint signal at http://www.sprint.com under coverage. You enter or address or the address you are interested in and the map shows you the quality of the coverage there and in the surrounding area.

Sporint has excellents ervice in the So Cal rgion. The Pixi is cool, but the Palm Pre is outstanding

Pre Plus on Verizon is certainly going to get a good looksie from the wife and I. Perhaps not a geewhiz tech gadget, but I gotta believe Palm did real well with readability, contacts, and calendar: The basics for a phone.
So far, only the BB has managed to pass my eye tests. Android OS has font scaling capability, but they didn’t bother using it in, what I consider, the most needed places. They sorta forgot it has to work great as a phone first and not require reading glasses. Will have to wait some years for the Google folks to get presbyopia and code accordingly I guess.

It’s not that easy Miguel.

Voice quality can be network affected and sometimes customers don’t notice it until mid contract.

For example, between 2005 and 2007 Verizon’s growth exploded in our area (Orange County, CA.) and during that period a big complaint was that the voice quality became cruddy because of cell breathing. Voice mail notifications and SMS showing up hours late was also a problem.

CDMA does allow for many users on the network at one time, but the more users on it can cause voice quality to degrade.

Just like AT&T has overused the AMR-HR voice codec in certain areas Verizon has also cut the fidelity on their network so uses use a lower quality bit rate which in turn allows more users onto the network without having to build more infrastructure.

Everyone on this board knows I’m not a huge Sprint fan but I can say that in my experience calls sound clearer/cleaner on their network vs Verizon in metro areas.
