Palm Pre 2 (Verizon Wireless)

 

The Palm Pre 2's smooth design and compelling operating system are hobbled by its midrange hardware specs and comparatively thin app catalog.

Pleasantly compact. Bright, responsive display. Fast, fluid OS. Mobile hotspot.

Weak app catalog. Hardware specs are still nothing special. No voice dialing. Weak speakerphone.

As before, the Palm Pre 2 syncs Microsoft Exchange e-mail, contacts, and calendars, as well as most major Webmail services, POP, and IMAP accounts. HP has added support for Facebook and Yahoo instant messaging. The WebKit browser makes viewing both...

Palm Pre 2 (Verizon Wireless) review

 

Announced back in October 2010 , the Palm Pre 2 is finally available from Verizon Wireless for $149.99 with a two-year contract and after a $50 mail-in rebate. On the one hand, it's wonderful to have another WebOS product on the market, especially with...

The Palm Pre 2 ships with WebOS 2.0, which brings such improvements as better multitasking and enhanced universal search.

The Pre 2 doesn't offer a lot of hardware changes over its predecessor. The smartphone can also be sluggish.

The enhancements in WebOS 2.0 make the Palm Pre 2 a very capable smartphone, but we think it's worth waiting for the HP Pre 3, which will offer hardware improvements to complement the software upgrades.

Palm Pre 2 Review

 

Verizon is offering the Palm Pre 2, which runs HP's webOS and includes a 3.1-inch touchscreen and a sliding keyboard. Is it worth getting or should customers wait for the Pre 3? Read on to find out.

Simple, understated design ; Easy to use webOS ; Good battery life ; Good camera

Small keyboard makes accurate text entry tricky ; Adobe Flash support is hit or miss ; Fewer third-party apps than competitors

If you’re in love with the webOS platform and can’t wait until this summer for the Palm Pre 3, or your older device has suffered an unfortunate accident, then the

Palm Pre 2 Cell Phone Review–Soon To Be Replaced

 

We've got one of Verizon's newest to have a look at today, the Palm Pre 2. It's only recently become available after being announced just a few months ago, so this is definitely hot and fresh for you. But will it be worthwhile, just because it's new?...

Plenty of features ; Great for on the go workers

A bit sluggish ; Will be replaced by a better phone in a matter of months

The Palm Pre 2 is a slider style smartphone that offers conference call capability, speakerphone, wi-fi and Bluetooth connectivity, Flash Player for videos, a video editor, HP’s WebOS 2.0, sixteen gigs of onboard memory, support for AOL Instant...

Palm Pre 2 Review by Darren

 

My initial reaction to the leaks of the Pre 2 were along the lines of a famous Albert Einstein quote: “Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” Fairly fitting since Palm first released the Pre, followed by...

Fits nicely in the hand; improved camera; improved battery life; 1GHz processor; rubberized feel. HP webOS 2.0 brings many welcome changes

Very similar to older models; small keyboard; not very slim; slider still wobbles ; The Verdict: If you didn’t like the form of the previous Pres you won’t like this one but if you are a fan it offers improvements on almost everything. It’s a welcome...

I know a lot of you would want to wait for different hardware to even consider a webOS device and I don’t blame you. I’d love to see a slim, large screened webOS phone as well but the Pre 2 does an excellent job for what it is. Looking at webOS, I...

Review: Palm Pre 2

 

We haven't heard the last of Palm. Earlier this year, HP bought out the company known for the classic PDA and is once again attempting to breathe life back into the brand. And with that, another kick at the cell phone market. The Palm Pre 2 is a...

Nice design ; WebOS 2.0 is a nice improvement

Processor gets bogged down when running more than one app ; Keyboard is tiny ; Lack of apps

We can’t say we’re disappointed with the latest Palm Pre, but it won’t be everyone’s cup of tea.
