Comments on: Pre Hands On User Report
Over the course of 11 pages in the EverythingPre forums, Artap99 addresses some questions and concerns from users while posting additional details about the device though posting no substantially detailed or new info such as what was revealed last week by the InsideSprintNow blog. Many EverythingPre forum members have expressed serious doubts about the validity of the information provided by Artap99 due to its vagueness. However, Everything Pre site Admin Christopher Meinck has reiterated his support for the poster's authenticity, thus our determination of the story as news-worthy.

RE: Hmmmm.
At any rate, performance is the LEAST of my worries for WebOS & the Pre. It has a powerhouse chipset & processor and things can only get better *IF* Palm cares enough to tweak & optimize.
I mean, OS 5 Garnet devices appeared in late '04 and it took basically a year for the first decent-performing Garnet PDA (TX) to appear and three years for the first snappy Garnet smartphone (Centro) to arrive. Wouldn't it be nice to have the option within WebOS to turn off the transitions & UI fluff in order to possibly save battery power and speed up performance?

IMO the Treo 650 was the snappiest Garnet phone. I was fiddling with it the other day and was blown away by how much quicker it was - especially compared to the 680, but it was leaving Centro in the dust too. (I was also reminded of just how huge and heavy it is.)

And this is determined in a one hour test?

RE: Hmmmm.
The one thing I am finding mystifying in all of the various Pre reports and comments is not a single peep about how well it performs as a PHONE--reception, speaker clarity/volume, the phone app itself.
Am I just a curmudgeon or do people do very little talking nowadays on their smartphones?

Hmmmm.
Eh. A dev will create an OSK. But I hope the physical one isn't outright terrible!
# Performance-wise, the Pre is described as not being fantastic "…but it is iPhone grade. Things take time to open. Transitions aren't always immediate."
I'm hoping this is still not 100% optimized code.
