  • Back to the Pre [Updated]

    Categories: ,

    Switching back to the Palm Pre hasn’t been as painful as I thought it might be.  With that said, there are definitely a few things that need to be changed about the phone.  First, it’s too slow.  Scrolling through my contact list is stop and go at best.  Secondly, where are my apps?!  The App…

  • My LG Optimus S is bricked
