Palm stays Palm – Engadget reports the following (embarrassing) bug in the software of the Pre:


Text fields in the web browser don’t seem to support symbols that aren’t on the keyboard (that is, symbols you need to hold down “Sym” to access). We’ve independently verified this one, and it’s nasty …

While a bunch of other bugs have also been reported, the patch cycle could be pretty short – some TamsPalm readers have stated that their Pre already got a 67MB OTA update (hope they have a data plan)…

  1. Pretty sure a data plan is REQUIRED with the pre anyway. Give them time, they’ll work things out. And considering how minor an upgrade the iPhone3Gs is over its predecessor, palm has some breathing room. (Of course, the $99 pricepoint for the old 3G is a bit troublesome)

  2. Hi,
    yep – but a 300MB data plan is killed after 6 updates…

    All the best

  3. Sprint Data Plan is UNLIMITED EVERYTHING. QED.
