That doesn’t really mean much really. Sure, Howard Stern is a very influential radio personality with a huge listening audience, but that doesn’t mean that the other 1/2 of the US won’t be swayed by Howard’s choices. Just kidding, seriously. He did choose the Blackberry Bold over the Pre recently though. It seems that the attempt to get some good PR through a very unconventional method has backfired for Palm. Can we get Paul back Palm? 

As noted last week, Palm worked the word of mouth marketing for the Pre and received a lot of air time from Stern. That word of mouth turned into a commercial for RIM, however. 

Stern said that the Pre was a fine phone (it’s unclear whether he actually held it), but said its inability to connect to Lotus Notes was a dealbreaker. 

Now he’s yapping about the BlackBerry Bold non-stop. The word of mouth bounces RIM’s way—again.

I have some video that I shot at CTIA of the Pre that I plan to get online real soon guys. Sorry for the delay. I had some issues with my hardware at the show. I have to piece this one together and haven’t had the time yet. I was able to hold the Pre for exactly 5 seconds less than I got at CES. I got zero time holding the Pre this time. Palm is being kind of weird with this holding the Pre thing.
