I still can’t get a text to copy or forward to another user. read thru the palm updates. many more than I thought. I see they are working hard. I’ll still staying loyal (for now).

There is still no cut and paste of txt messages or web pages. That needs to be fixed soon. Very frustrating. They need to support subcategories in contacts. It causes imported contacts from a Treo to not allow changes on the phone that synch with Exchange. I figured that one out and had to tell them last month. They need to get apps out soon. iphone is so far ahead that Sprint is losing market share like crazy. If they can get decent apps and fix some of the major issues posted on palmcentral, they may stand a fighting chance. btw, battery life… you have to turn off everything on Location Services or it does drain it quick (autolocate, background data collected, etc). Turn it on when you need it for google maps then back off aftewards.

In other words, if I meet someone who works in the same field as me and I want to exchange information via LinkedIn, I can’t add them in order to get their information until I get back to my computer.

The Gmail and Facebook syncing is cool, and great for the younger crowd, but couldn’t LinkedIn syncing potentially make this an awesome business phone, as well?

Mine’s been saying that for more than an hour and a half

With that ability, it’d be a much bigger deal.

No battery drain issues here. I have been upgraded on 1.2 for about 2 hours (bluetooth on, wifi off). I have probably played around with the phone for 20-30 minutes of that time and my battery is only down to 94%.

My battery is down to 57%!!!

My battery went from fully charged to 80% after a few minutes. I also noticed from the web browser with some images after holding the orange button and tapping the picture, sometimes you get more options:

Open new card
Share link (to picture)
Copy URL (of picture)
and the other two I mentioned in my previous post, Share image and Copy to photos.

The phone app is much improved and more responsive. Calendar is much quicker when switching days and views. One of the best improvements is to “Copy and Paste”…which is no longer a misnomer.

You get options to save it to the Pre or send it from the web page via email.
