If you happen to be getting tired of seeing the iPhone there is something you should see. It is called the Palm Pre. Palm has pretty much placed it all on the line with the advent of this smartphone. Perhaps we should call the Palm Pre the “super” smartphone. Take a look at this review and see what you think.
The Palm Pre looks great. It feels great. When you slip it into your pocket it just “feels right”. Okay, with all the feel good stuff aside, how does this smartphone perform ? In a word, spectacular. With a screen that is better than the iPhone and apps that operate easier than the Apple contender, you are just scratching the surface of the abilities of the Palm Pre.
Palm Pre
This is the first phone from Palm to use the new WebOS platform. This is definitely one of the first review topics for the Palm Pre. The operating system is undoubtedly a winner. Palm has gone all out and made something that you can use and use and use some more. You will like how you can take your contacts from Facebook and install them into the Pre. Then you will like it again when you do the same with google. The transition will be seamless. Thoughtful planning went into this smartphone and you can feel it when you use it. The email notifications are easily noticed, but not obtrusive. Another word to describe the capabilities of the Palm Pre is “accomplished”. Palm has beaten the google Android and all is well.
Some other great features of the Palm Pre include the fact that it runs in CDMA ( 850 and 1900 ) mode. Sprint has been chosen to use this smartphone on their network. The form factor is called “slide” for the QWERTY board that slides out. The keys are a bit small for the average male, but not overly so. The tactile feedback for the keyboard is a bit lacking also. Otherwise, the Palm Pre feels like a well-rounded rock in your hand and in your pocket.
A strong asset for the Palm is the ability to multi-task. If this is you, take a closer look at this offering from Palm. If you are not a multi-tasker, you will still enjoy the fact that your Palm will not slow down simply because you open more than a few apps at the same time. The camera has a three Megapixel level and takes average photos. Overall this smartphone is a home run in the technical department and in design also. There are some very good deals at the moment on prices so you may find yourself taking one ( or two ) home with you.
