    so is 'beef rolls' a euphemism ?

    Ask Dan Lane. I was busy 'working' when they were being handed 'round *sniff*.

    There were also pork rolls and very nice pizza... we were filming by the exit from the kitchen... dangerous stuff!

    Was Jamelia there? She's often hired for glitzy phone launches.

    I quite liked the Pre on Sprint EV-DO. Great browser. Small enough to fit in your pocket.

    Pricey on O2.

    No, but she was in Budapest filming in my hotel when we went there with Nokia to look at the N900... In fact that film should be out next week (the Nokia one, not Jamelia).

    Great review guys and gal, sounds like the party was waaaaaaaay more fun than the phone though! ;) Love your disclosure, awesome.

    well so you know I personally sold one today to a developer because the market for apps on the palm is new a lot of developers are starting to make apps for it so hopefully this trend continues and some of the developers that have tried to make apps for an almost saturated apple app store market will more over to other places like palm and ovi!!

    We'll just have to wait and see!

    Can't beleive you actually said you could not figure out how to send an mms. simple as opening the messaging app and hitting the + to open a new msg and then the paperclip to add a picture. Just bought the phone yesterday and took me about 5 secs to figure that out

    I should probably start by saying the drinks were very very free ;)

    However, from the photos application, I hit something like send as... MMS then what? I got an MMS compose window with the photo and added some text and then... then what? where is the SEND button? there was a "TEXT" button but that just sent the text portion and there was no photo.

    :) guess I have to cut you some slack then. also, it probably did not have the latest software update to 1.2.1. There should be an arrow button in the right hand corner, which is the send button. I am really starting to like the PRE and I am former iphone 3G user and also was a Nokia fan.
