RE: Analyst: Palm Pre supply, demand in balance

Before purshasing a Pre, do your homework. Here is a preview of know issues:

It's hard to separate the phone from the software at this point. I thought about putting this in the software section, but I guess it could be hardware related, too. And many people will miss it if it is in the software section. So here goes:

Do you have any bugs on your Pre that you can reproduce? Post them, and I'll edit this post and make a list.

1. Light leakage at the bottom of the screen.

2. Dead pixels.

3. When entering data into a form field on a web page, they symbol key doesn't work (clicking on a symbol does nothing). See bug #70 below.

4. When entering data into a form field on a web page, the cut-and-paste Edit menu items don't work. (However, the cut-and-paste shortcuts do work.)

5. When web browsing in wide screen mode, if you click on a picture or link that opens up into another card, the new card opens the other way. You have to turn the screen back upright, and then back to wide view for it to flip. Seems like if you are already browsing in wide, new cards would open the same way.

6. Whenever I open or close the slider, the screen fades out and turns black but you can tell it was still lit. It would be like that for a second or two and then turn off. You then had to use the power button to turn it back on. Others are having the same issue (see these links):

7. When entering data into a form field in landscape mode, left-right cursor movement and text selection is done by swiping up and down (on the horizontal screen) rather than left and right. In other words, these controls are stuck in what makes sense for portrait mode. (Cursor movement may be the only data entry that makes sense in landscape mode.)

8. When choosing a ringer or alarm sound, and you click on the play button of the built-in sounds, then click on the button in the bottom-left to use an mp3, and click on the play button of the mp3, the built-in sound does not stop and continues to play.

9. Will not allow an IP address to be used when setting up an EAS email account. If the value in the server field does not have a .com or all numbers you can not save the account settings. This also seems to be a bug when setting up an imap account.

10. While in another app a notification comes in of an SMS. I tap the notification to read the sms and the Messaging app is moved to the last card. This may happen with other apps like Email but I've only tested with sms. I think cards should stay in the order the user has them arranged.

See link for 11 - 98.
