It’s been an interesting couple of days with a nice flow of questions coming in from all sides for our Sprint Mole. He’s been incredibly gracious and I can’t thank him enough for it. Actually, I’m sure I’ll pay for this somehow. Oy. Anyway! Like I said yesterday, I’d gather whatever was left over from your questions, get them over to the proper person, get them answered and have them up at some point. Guess what? It’s “some point” now! This is the first time you will notice some questions went either unanswered or only partially answered. Rest assured, I missed nothing but like I’d warned before we did this, there are topics he cannot discuss nor would I want him to, for fear of losing his job over it. He did the best he could and like I said, I appreciate it immensely.

If you have any lingering questions, I cannot promise you anything, but if you post them over at our forum, we might be able to get an answer for you here and there. No promises but I’ll try my best.

And now I leave you with the final installment of “Your Pre Questions Answered”

maxima2k53: I know the pre has a RAM of 256 mb….and ive been hearing a lot that the pre can have a maximum of 10 “cards” is that all or it all depends on how much memory each app has?

There is no reference in any of the official documentation that 10 cards is the most one can have open at one time. The user should be able to decide when enough is enough and when the phone has started to slow down because it. Personally, I’m fairly certain it can handle more than 10 successfully and of course, it all depends on what each card is doing. I haven’t seen any one app be too memory intensive though.

Leez: Europe, when ?

I have no news for you. Your guess is as good as mine.

nathan7la: Will existing memos be imported using the ‘first time only’ import/sync option provided by Palm? Otherwise, how are memos/notes handled? Is there any cloud equivalent for the notes?

The device that I reference to ask these questions did not have any memos imported. None. So I cannot tell you what that would be like. As far as cloud services for the memos go, I’m sure I cannot answer this so I will deflect but give you a little bit of what I can anyway. When you get your Pre, you know how most of us toss the papers to the side and never read them? Don’t do that. Read.

Thrustbucket: Can you “save as” files from the web browser?

As with most modern phones, when you receive a sound file or a video file or a picture file and you can save it to your local storage to keep. I can tell you no more.

Merton: You said in your last Q&A that synergy was seamless, and did not add duplicate contacts, etc. I use facebook, but a majority of people on my facebook are kids from college that I would probably never call in my life (and don’t want in my phone). However, I do have some people on facebook that are close friends, and would love to pull only their information into my contacts list. Can you comment how this is handled on the Pre? Does the Pre allow you to only add certain users when adding facebook as a source, or will it only pull the facebook information for people you currently have in your contacts list?

Without getting into specifics, which you know I am not allowed to do, I can say there are certain “settings” you can tweak for Synergy. Specific things you can do. I hope that’s enough for you. (I know it’s not.)

Merton: I have seen several people on other forums who claim they are going to buy a Pre (for full retail price) on day 1, and take it to a verizon store to see if they can get it activated on the Verizon network. A few years ago, Verizon adopted this “open network” policy, in which they claim that they will allow other CDMA phones to be activated on their network (how “open” it really is is debatable). Do you know of any reason why it would not be possible to active a Pre on Verizon’s network? (Note: I believe the process I am referring to requires that you send in your phone to verizon, and they do some stuff with it. I really have no clue about the details)

Verizon’s current CDMA network is not the network they intend to fully “open up” so I can almost gleefully scoff at these people you reference. Nice try, though. Due to the complexities of CDMA technology, merely flashing a CDMA device will not make it work on a different network. Actually it does, but mostly voice… not data. Would you want a data-stripped Pre? To get data working you’d need to dive way deeper into the phone and mess with every single setting, which I can understand why Verizon and most any other CDMA carrier doesn’t want to do. It’s costly and time consuming.

Verizon’s 4G network, based on the technology LTE, is the one they reference as being the truly open, bring your own device type. Doubt me? Call Verizon and confirm. They very well might flash your Pre to work for them but not all functionality will be there. While you’re at it, ask MetroPCS as well. They do the same thing. By the way, Verizon does not expect to have any part of their 4G network available to their customers until 2011, just like AT&T.
