Palm Pre

Ok so I can't go all into everything as I'm told to not say anything about the Pre until launch. However, I thought I would give you a sneak peak at the new Palm Pre that will be released on June 6th, 2009. Very nice phone btw. Strike 1 for me is not winmo, strike 2 is keyboard (don't care for any of Palm keyboards actually), strike 3..not winmo! Don't let that take away from the fact that this phone has a lot of things that has not been featured on any phones or pda's prior to the Pre. Palm really stepped it up on this one, with the new web os totally built from scratch. The os on this device is called web os for reason. Everyhting it does is integrated through the web giving you a whole new experience with brand new technology and is a very unique device in many ways. I can't go into full detail until 6th, so I will do my best to give my honest opinion even though it may not be the phone of my choice. The screen resolution on this phone is sick! Sprint TV looks like HD for real. Nice sleek finish with excellent screen res and unique features make this a very sexy phone in my opinion. Def a game changer in many ways. They really directed this thing right at the Iphone and with attitude. I\When I tell you that this phones OS is a mix between the iphone and android os I mean exactly that! Period. Might I add that they really made it easy to totally customize all of the menus etc to best fit your need which I happen to like. Sorry if too many pics, let me know and I will remove ok

Anyway, here's a few pics of it, enjoy.
 
nice post :) i have already had mine for a lil bit and am loving it :) trust me when i say the pics make the phone look way less sexy than it really is :P i wish i could show mine off but as the tester sprint wont allow me too as they did with my touch pro. :sad:
 
I will say that I was chosen to be an advocate for this phone and sat in a 4hr training class just on the basics. Very nice phone! Lots of pro's, only a few cons. I still have to say that winmo has the upper hand by a landslide. I guess we will see what all the APP store has once phone is launched. I hope it's better than the android app store, and the iphones of course. No sd card, but 8gig on board is plenty to play with. No damn alarm clock either, I'm sure that will be the 1st thing in the app store, lol.

lol, yeah. All they put into that phone and how did they miss that I have no idea! The only work around at this point is you can use your calendar as an alarm ( Shrug..lame...) for now. It works, just more steps involved...especially if need it everyday, lol. I am anxious for the app store myself to see what we can put on this puppy. Hoping for some good programmers to make things happen ya knw.

no i hanot seen sprint pump up a phone period like this. So you think its gonna be hard to get one?

just call and order one online on the 65th as soon as you can... only certain corporate stores are getting them so it will be a toss up if the sotre your going to is even going to have them in stock...

So, no expansion slot...not sure I'm feeling that, I guess it's not a huge deal. But I must say, wireless charging is pretty rad!

I personally have over 100 PRE orders waiting to get done... my office probably has well over 1000 combined if not more ... This phone is very huge for Sprint. This device is Changing mobile wireless period.. Many people are leaving carriers for this device.

SD card expansion slot not being there does suck, but with 8G's you cant go wrong... I was very upset about the alarm clock as I use my phone for it, and upset of it not being a full 5 row keyboard like the PRO.. why give a kids keyboard to a grown folk device :lol:
