Howard Stern Prefers BlackBerry Bold

Palm might have been hoping for some good (and free) publicity when it sent a pre-production Palm Pre to Howard Stern, though it seems like it achieved just the reverse of that. After fiddling with the phone, Stern claimed that he preferred the BlackBerry Bold instead of the Pre. Unfortunately for Palm, the deal breaker for Stern was the fact that the Pre is not able to connect to Lotus Notes. Of course, a lot of the general public doesn’t use Lotus notes, but that doesn’t mean that they won’t want the feature. Would you buy a phone just because it supports Lotus Notes?
