Quote:Palm Pre owners are ironically complaining that their smartphones don't have onscreen keyboards, a study by Strategy Analytics found today. Despite Palm having added the QWERTY keyboard in response to gripes about touch-only devices like the iPhone, many users want a software keyboard like Apple's, as Palm's design gives them no choice but to use the hardware solution. The opinion holds even for those who chose the Pre for the physical input, senior analyst Paul Brown says.
"Although users liked having a physical QWERTY keyboard, they did not want to have to slide it out every time they wanted to type something," he notes.
Adapting the design might be difficult for Palm, which designed the Pre and webOS with the assumption that a physical keyboard would be present and free up space onscreen for more data. The Eos may partially address the problem by including a fixed physical keyboard, although it should shrink the touchscreen as a consequence.
wah wah... i want both... if we give you both, then you complain about the price, and the locked deal with the cell phone company...

I am the milkman of human kindness

Corporations, which should be the carefully restrained creatures of the law and the servants of the people, are fast becoming the people's masters. -- Grover Cleveland
When the laws are used to make the rich richer and the potent more powerful, the humble members of society -- the farmers, mechanics, and laborers -- who have neither the time nor the means of securing like favors to themselves, have a right to complain of the injustice of their government -- Andrew Jackson

Quote:Customer: ?My phone is broken, but it?s only two months old. I need a replacement.?
Me: ?If your phone is less than 3 months old, I can give you a replacement today. Just let me have a look at it.?
Customer: ?Why do you need to see it? It doesn?t work, and I was told if it broke within 3 months I get a new phone straight away.?
Me: ?That?s right, but there are conditions, one being that the phone can?t have any liquid or physical damage. I need to check for that.?
Customer: ?Fine, here.?
(When I open up the phone, it stinks of alcohol.)
Me: ?Sorry, this smells like it has alcohol on it.?
Customer: ?Oh, well, I dropped it in the sink and I know you won?t fix it if it has water damage, but I didn?t have any ethylated spirits, so I soaked it in vodka for 2 days to dry it out.?
Me: ?You?ve just ruined your phone, and now I can?t give you another one.?
Customer: ?What?! This is ridiculous! You should be more specific when you sell phones! You need to tell people that they can?t soak it in vodka!?
