Re: [CGUYS] Palm Does About as Well as It Could
I've always liked when it is slid open you can use the edge to cut your steak at dinner... Kidding aside, palm needed to wow users, their current designs feel old, the phones feel like toys..sort of like the htc magic. Put webos on an htc incredible and you've got something to write home about. Hopefully between HP and Palm, new phones will arrive sometime next year. On Apr 28, 2010 8:57 PM, "Rev.
