\"Palm <\/p>\n

UPDATE:<\/strong> The Palm Pre Plus has felled the Nexus One with 56% of the vote. 4317 votes were cast for the flagship webOS device vs. 3397 for the flagship Android phone. The next victim: the BlackBerry Bold 9700 on T-Mobile. Bring it!<\/p>\n

While the Sprint Palm Pixi understandably fell to the BlackBerry Bold in the second match of the first round of Laptop Magazine’s 2010 March Madness smartphone showdown<\/a>, this week is a new week (week #6, to be specific), and we’ve got another Palm webOS phone in the mix. This week, it’s the Palm Pre Plus (on Verizon, naturally) up against Google’s Nexus One<\/a>, the powerhouse Android phone hailing from the T-Mobile camp.<\/p>\n

Does the Pre Plus have what it takes to handle the Nexus One? We like to think so, but the only way to prove it (and show our frienemies at sister site Android Central<\/a> who’s the boss (hint: us)) is for the voters (you) to put in a ballot in favor of the Pre Plus.<\/p>\n

As of this writing the Pre Plus is in the lead, but just barely, with only a few hundred votes cast so far. Added bonus: if the Pre Plus wins, we get the chance to take on the Bold in the semi-semi-finals and avenge the Pixi’s defeat. And the right to gloat over trouncing the flagship Android phone in an all-important online poll<\/a> (don’t judge; these days we’ll take whatever victories we can get).<\/p>\n

Thanks to everybody that sent this in!<\/em><\/p>\n
