More thoughts on Pre

Pre is a great phone and has a lot of features. However, it feels the less polished. A lot of people say that's because the phone is the first generation. I can understand this, but I don't think many users can. After all they don't follow the tech news as much, all they care about is a good phone.

Pre can get pretty slow at times due to a lot of programs are open. Some web pages suck a lot of resouces. Program start times is also pretty slow. However, this could be fixed by more optimized programs.

The other is the lack of apps. Apple has 30000 apps, even if just 10% of them of any good, that 3000 apps, which is 10 times the number in the official apps store.

The other part that I am worried about is the number of different smartphone brands can confuse the customers. Apple is the best in term of brand recognition, but Palm Andriod, Nokia really don't stand out from each other. Sprint just announced that they will carry a new model with Android. Then Nokia has the N900 that completely blows everyone await in terms is raw power and numer of features or capability.
