"The Veer also trails the competition by not including a front-facing camera, so you can't use it to do video chats as you can the iPhone 4 and many of the latest Android devices. It has only 8 gigabytes of storage, which is half or less than what you'll find on most recent smartphones, and it's not expandable. It also lacks a gyroscope, which is useful for games and augmented reality apps, and doesn't have a near-field communications antenna, which allows a mobile phone to be used like a credit card. Beyond its hardware, the Veer suffers from the same critical problem as earlier webOS devices: a dearth of apps. While you can find "Angry Birds" and "Pandora," you won't find Netflix's (NFLX) movie player, Amazon's Kindle e-book reader, the popular iPhone game "Pocket God," and many other top apps.
But it's basically the same phone as the Pre that Palm introduced two years ago, only smaller. That wasn't good enough then. And given how much better competing phones have gotten since, it's not nearly good enough now."
