As much as I love my Palm Pre Plus, there is always room for improvement. I thought I would go over some of the things I dislike about the phone. Nothing is so bad that it would be a deal-breaker for me, just little annoyances.
1. No send button on the phone keyboard. Most phones have a little green phone button for making a call, and a little red phone for ending a call. The Palm Pre Plus has neither of these on the keyboard. Instead, you must use the touch screen to make or end a call.
2. The keyboard is a little small. While I love the option of having both a touchscreen and full keyboard, the keys are itty-bitty. Not too much that I can't use them, but I tend to find I'm using my nails to press the keys. I think some men may have a problem using the small keyboard.
3. Short battery life. Like most 3G phones, the battery life on the Palm Pre Plus is minimal. I really notice it when I use apps like twitter or facebook. Pandora radio is also a big-time battery sucker. I have to charge my phone every night, and if I forget, my phone is dead by the next day.
4. Can only delete one email at a time, and have to open email to do so. This is just a little pet peeve, but even when I know an email is spam, I have to open it up before I can delete it.
Like I said, these are just minor details and in the grand scheme, the Palm Pre Plus is pretty awesome. I've never had a phone I've liked so much and found so easy to use.
I received a new Palm Pre Plus Smartphone and 1 month’s service and data plan for participating in the program through Verizon. All opinions are my own and I am not being compensated in any other way.

Regarding point #4, you can actually delete emails from the message summary page by simply swiping the message you want to delete. I believe that some of the other apps (SMS for example) allow you to delete items in a list this way also, it's similar to how the iPhone/iPod Touch deletes things from lists.
My only pet peeve with the email apps swipe to delete is that unlike the SMS app the email app doesn't ask you to confirm the "delete" or "cancel" the delete the action when you swipe it away. I've accidentally deleted messages and then had to go digging around in the trash for it because there is no undo-delete action...
Anyway, hope that helps...
ps. I think that there is a Preware tweak that will add the delete confirmation to the email apps, anyway...

I get a huge number of emails daily and need to delete them off my phone. Is there any way to delete them all instead of swiping each email or clicking on each email trash? I would appreciate any help you could give me.
Thanks,
