the Palm Pré was the real mvp of the late 2000s/early 2010s smartphone scene

I'm gonna say it

it's been almost 10 years since the Pré came out and modern smartphone operating systems still haven't caught up to where it was from an UX standpoint. It may /look/ dated now but just usability-wise, WebOS is still light-years ahead

@tom I got the iPhone X specifically because it brings back part of the card multitasking gestures from my Prē 3 and I missed them so

@cat super relatable tbh. I'd love an iPhone X but it's just... so much more than I'm willing/able to pay for a phone right now. Even subsidized prices are ridiculous...

@tom yeah, I’m lucky enough to get to put it on the work card because I’m on call a bunch of the time
