Palm and Sprint have been cleverly seeding the upcoming Pre among upper-crust celebrities, such as Howard Stern, among others. Angelina Jolie has been enjoying hers, but has a few complaints as well, according to an assistant on the set of Salt.
“I asked her how she likes the phone,” a production assistant on the set of Salt told me. “She went on about it for about two minutes. She basically said she likes the software better than the iPhone, she likes the thumboard for texting (although the keys aren’t big enough), and thinks the screen is beautiful but can be too easily scratched.”
The keyboard seems to be a common concern, along with the lack of removable memory, but unlike Stern, Jolie sounds pretty danged happy with the Pre.
