Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

Update 6/18: I have directed this thread to a manager of Palm's technical team, he advised me that many of these suggestions were forwarded to the development team and most are being worked on/considered. He also confirmed that an update is coming over the next couple weeks that will fix a few issues including the SSL issue with EAS... and there is another update that will fix the MSFP issues (security policies) with EAS email (in around 60 days) It's good to hear that Palm is very responisive to our needs and suggestions.

Update 7/11: Since this thread has received so much attention and ideas I have not been able to post all the different suggestions on this front page. I have put this forum thread in front of several sprint/Palm employees that do have a say in future updates... so please keep posting suggstions! Please also use the link below. Thanks!

Feel free to add your request/reccomendation here... Palm's official feedback form: http://www.palm.com/feedback/

FYI, you can set distinctive rings for specific people. When you edit a contact, there's a "Set a ringtone" option.

You're not really official, and putting them all in one thread is likely not the best way to deal with it, for the people who have to get the work done.  As I've noted elsewhere.

But enthusiasm is good; everyone should get up in the morning like their hair is on fire.  :-)

Thanks... fixed and updated with visual voicemail

[#6]

Alas, it's not my line.  I think I stole it from Spider Robinson, or possibly Douglas Adams...  Ford Prefect?  Yeah, possibly ...

[#7]

could you add "vibration / sound" to the notifications while the screen is off?  I think if the screen is off, I wont be looking at my phone.  But it woudl be nice to hear a beep, or feel it vibrate from time to time.

[#8]

added a couple more items... keep them coming.. I will update the main post and hopefully palm developers will see what us pre users are looking for to make the Pre perfect!

[#9]

How about TEXT prediction like BB or WM

[#10]

I've seen a lot of folks mention Text message forwarding.
