GSM Palm Pre Plus & Pixi Plus Coming?

Topic:

Evidence that the Palm Pre Plus and Palm Pixi Plus will soon be hitting AT&T's network piled on today, thanks to this scoop from TUV Rheinland (via Engadget). They have both the P101UNA and the P121UNA, the numeric codes for the Pre Plus and Pixi Plus, listed in their systems. The "UNA" designation means that these devices are GSM phones.

Palm Pre/Pixi Plus Pricing Leaked?

Topic:

The Palm Pre and Palm Pixi Plus aren't quite as awesome as a whole new Pre would have been, but they're still a great expansion for Palm's line. If this rumor from PhoneArena is accurate, we may already know how much these two mobiles will cost when they launch on January 25th.

Palm Pre 3 To Launch At CES 2010 On Verizon?

Topic:

Holy hell, how's this for some New Years news; Bright Side of News has just reported that Palm will be revealing the third iteration of the Palm Pre next week at CES 2010. Palm has already sent out press invites for a conference on Thursday, January 7, 2010 at 10:00 a.m. It's not entirely clear exactly what this conference is about, but the most obvious answer is the Pre 3.

BSN* claims that the Pre 3 will launch on Verizon's network. We've heard rumors of a Verizon Pre for a while now. In fact, earlier this week we heard that the Pre and Pixi (aka Pre 1 and Pre 2) would be coming to Verizon. A new, updated version of the Pre is very much due. I can see Big Red selling the Pre 1 for $99, giving the Pixi away for free with a contract, and charging $199 for the Pre 3. That would give Verizon an impressive phone platform to compete with the new iPhone and the Nexus One.

Palm Pre Plus, Pixi Plus, Coming To Verizon

Topic:

There have been rumors of a Verizon Pre since the day the Pre first went on sale. Sprint's exclusivity will be over at some point next year, and Big Red wants a slice of that Palm action. Boy Genius has received word that VZW will be carrying the Pre and the Pixi. Both phones will have a new name for their new carrier; the Palm Pre Plus and the Palm Pixi Plus.

Palm Pre Plus Coming To Verizon?

Topic:

If you're shacked up with Big Red, we've got some great news for you. Phone Arena has come across info from Verizon's internal systems listing the Palm Pre Plus. We have no idea what the Plus means. This could be an entirely new, next generation Pre...or it could be a minor modification of the existing device.

Phone Arena also found that the Motorola Devour A555, also known as the Calgary, will be joining Verizon's Droid family soon. It will sport a 3 MP camera, MotoBLUR, and Android 2.1. The LG VS750 will also be joining Verizon in the near future. It packs WinMo 6.5, has global roaming support, and is supposedly super thin.

Palm Pre Suffering Cloud Data Loss...Could You Be Next?

Topic:

It's 10:47 A.M., Palm Pre owners...do you know where your data is? PreCentral has received a ton of user complaints over the last few weeks that Palm Profiles haven't been backed up as often as they should have. Judging by the number of complaints, the issue seems to be getting worse every day. The problem appears to come from corrupted back-ups, and a lack of internal safety measures designed to prevent said back-ups from damaging the system.

Palm recently issued a statement assuring customers that they are aware of the issue and working on it. No more information is available. AppleInsider likened this case to the Sidekick Data Disaster and the recent loss of multiple Nokia Ovi Contacts. An increasing number of gadgets and services do their computing in the cloud, and Google's upcoming Chrome OS stores virtually all user details there. Cloud computing is hot right now...but is it as safe and reliable as it needs to be?

Verizon Re-Confirms Palm Pre

Topic:

The saga of the Palm Pre and Verizon has been long and confusing. After rumors of Verizon denial and months of waiting, we have confirmation from Big Red itself that the Pre is coming to town. And this is the sort of confirmation that doesn't just rely on advertising leaks and inventory screenshots. Verizon's Twitter feed, VZWOffers (via Boy Genius) told us almost everything we needed to know.

New Palm Pre webOS 1.2.1 Fixes Apple iTunes Sync Again

Topic:

Palm just released webOS 1.2.0 last week. Today Palm released webOS 1.2.1 that fixes both problems syncing your EAS email and media sync with the latest iTunes release (as already rumored over a week ago).
I did not expect Palm to continue this little war with Apple. Besides sync with iTunes 9.0.1 Palm also fixed photo album structure and added a new option to sync photos without full resolution originals. Read more

Palm Pre webOS 1.2.0 Update Released

Topic:

Palm released the new webOS 1.2.0 update with several improvements and bug fixes.
The new features of webOS 1.2.0 include LinkedIn contact syncing with Palm Synergy, support for heterogeneous EAS policies, Email Keyword filter, file download in browser, Amazon MP3 Store access via Wifi and 3G, podcast pause and resume and app purchasing. There is no word on if the new webOS 1.2.0 will give you back your iTunes syncing. My guess is that it is never coming back again. Read more

Verizon Wireless WILL Sell The Palm Pre

Topic:

After stock-dropping rumors that Verizon decided to dump the Pre and a terse assertion from Palm that their smartphone would be heading to "new carriers" in 2010, we have confirmation from Boy Genius that the Pre will, in fact, be sold on Verizon's network.

Verizon still has not commented one way or the other on these rumors, and Palm did not address directly which carriers would get to host the Pre. That said, the CEO of Verizon himself has openly expressed his plans to carry the webOS smartphone in the past, and Big Red is in dire need of some variety in their smartphone offerings.

Verizon Declines The Palm Pre?

Topic:

The smartphone world received a shock today when news broke that Verizon Wireless might not be adopting the Palm Pre after all. TheStreet.com states that "people close to the discussions" told them that Verizon has decided not to support the Pre. This is great news for Sprint, the Pre's current U.S. carrier, but very bad news for Palm, who desperately needs a larger market if they want any hope of crossing the million sold mark.

Up until now, Verizon seemed quite eager to get at the Palm Pre. Back in May, Verizon CEO Lowell McAdam even stated that his company intended to roll out the Pre within six months. What's caused this rapid change of mood? If TheStreet is correct, the Pre's less-than-impressive sales weren't the only reason.

iTunes 9 Kills Palm Pre Syncing

Topic:

When the Palm Pre first hit stores, it came with the ability to sync up with iTunes. The Pre identified itself as an iPod mass storage device, so iTunes recognized it and let it in. Apple was not happy about this, and they fired back in July by breaking the Pre's ability to sync in a patch. Palm didn't take this standing down, and fixed syncing in webOS 1.1. For the last few months, the Pre has remained able to sync and Apple has only been able to stew about it.

That all changed yesterday. Apple released iTunes version 9 and, according to AppleInsider, it broke the Pre's ability to sync once more. Palm fans needn't fret, though. The webOS 1.2 update, which should have been announced earlier this week, was delayed for some reason. More than likely so that Palm would be able to respond to any moves Apple made.

GSM Version of the Palm Pre Approved

Topic:

Are you a big fan of the Palm Pre who doesn't want to switch over to the Sprint carrier? If so, we've got some good news for you today. A GSM, 3G enabled version of the Palm Pre has just been certified by WiFi.org, and could be coming to North America sometime very soon. According to PreCentral this does not necessarily mean that a GSM Pre will be hitting the US in the near future.
