[Editorial] Top 8 Reasons Why Palm Pre’s Got Nothin’ on BlackBerry

Al Sacco put together a great editorial for CrackBerry where he goes over his top 8 reasons why the Palm Pre’s “got nothin’ on BlackBerry.” Very good read .

Here are his 8 reasons:

• 8 ) Pre, First webOS Device, Could Be Flash in the Pan
• 7 ) Sprint Owns Pre Users Until AT LEAST 2010
• 6 ) Pre as an Enterprise Device? Not So Fast…
• 5 ) No Expandable Memory/Memory Card Support for Pre!!
• 4 ) The Pre’s Not Built to Last-But It Did Cut the Cheese
• 3 ) There’s Only One Pre… For Better or for Worse
• 2 ) The Palm Pre’s App Catalogue Is Weak Like Your Little Cousin
• 1 ) Pre’s Keyboard Is for Pixies and Lilliputians

The Pre is here; Palm recently released the much-anticipated Pre smartphone to the world-and the fate of the company very much depends on whether or not the device is a hit. Palm, former king of the PDA market, is attempting to pull itself back to the forefront of the smartphone game with the likes of RIM and Apple, and the Pre will no doubt be instrumental to its success…or lack thereof.

A while back, I penned a piece for CrackBerry called “Top 10 Reasons Why the iPhone Is NO BlackBerry,” in which I pointed out why Apple’s iPhone might be fine for your kid brother or all the Mac-heads at school or work, even your mom, but it doesn’t hold a candle to BlackBerry when the two are stacked up next to each other (I’ll be weighing in on the state of this ongoing debate soon now that the iPhone 3G S has been announced).

While the Pre is certainly exciting and I look forward to some quality thumbs-on time with it, I didn’t rush out to pick one up this week, nor will I be trading in my beloved ‘Berry for a Palm device anytime soon; the Palm Pre’s simply no BlackBerry.
