Comments on: Palm CEO talks up 'Nova,' his 2009 operating system

Mobile computing pioneer Palm has been battered the past couple of years, but is pinning its hopes on a Linux-based mobile operating system designed around the Internet.

Ya Baby, I can't wait, currently using BlackBerry and that is a good OS and stable, but I would love to have Linux OS for my cell phone. I already know what it can do.

If in INDIA- please dont trust PALM - I repeat - DONT TRUST IT... I am suffering with a 750 for the last 5 months- no customer service and no one to help... the Retailer I purchased it from (Mobile Store) has also refused to help ... and when I offered to sell it back- they offered me a wide smile- stating- NO ONE IN INDIA buys this phone!!!... So please watch out...

It seems that your comment is not even related to the article posted. You should think about what you are writing before you post. As far as tech support is concerned do not generalize based on your experience a whole country.

LOL - Wow India has great customer service, lol...... Maybe that's why we are moving back the customer service to the US where I can acctually understand what they way.

This reminds me of the Transformers movie, when they were in the middle of a fight with that scorpion transformer and the soilder was trying to make an emergency call to the Pentegon and they wouldn't patch it without a credit card and the guy on the other side was picking his nose and giving the soilder a whole bunch of crap.

Great! I have been waiting for a long time. 650, now 680... Wish it's really stable and make Internet application as core. And wish they could make out a 3G version for China. It's really a bad idea China makes a non-compatible 3G standard.

The type of service amit2sharma has noted has nothing to do with India. Your assessment is borderline offensive. When you over generalize about a group of people like that you run the risk of sounding, at the least, stereotypical, and, at worst, racist. I have had numerous run-ins with US companies that gave me long waits, no assistance, and a company line requesting that I purchase additional "assistance". The same can be said of the service that I received when I lived in Germany, Turkey, and South Korea (from companies as diverse as Deutsch Telecom, a private Turkish ISP, and a private South Korean ISP). So, from my experience, this isn't an Indian issue but a general service & tech industry problem. Until we get to the root of the problem with customer service, which tends to be low pay and nearly non-existant training and/or resources, we will never be able to get away from this issue. And that, my friend, isn't just an issue with just India.
