I bought a Palm Pre (1) for Sprint about a month after it came out. I still think the operating system, WebOS, is great but Palm really let me down with the device. It was just pure crap.

Despite its sleek design, the craftsmanship was poor and the phone cracked in multiple places. The plastic screen also scratched very easily.

The worst part of it all is that the phone is underpowered. The processor is slower and has less RAM than its competition. This is why the phone performed so poorly despite having a great operating system.

I hope HP can make the next generation WebOS powered devices perform better because it really is a great OS.
