Palm Pre (Sprint)
The Palm Pre's multitasking capabilities and notifications system are unparalleled. The smartphone features a vibrant display with multitouch functionality as well as a solid Web browser and good multimedia integration. The Pre offered good call ...
The Pre's keyboard is cramped. Battery life drains quickly and the smartphone can be sluggish at times. Lacks expansion slot, video-recording capabilities, onscreen keyboard, and Flash support. The Pre App Catalog is still in beta with a limited ...
Despite some missing features and performance issues that make it less than ideal for on-the-go professionals, the Palm Pre offers gadget lovers and consumers well-integrated features and unparalled multitasking capabilities. The hardware could be ...

Palm Pre
We have a confession to make: There are a few Palm fans among us. Backin the day, you would have had to pry the grayscale Palm IIIx out ofour cold, dead, extremely well-organized hands. But Palm lost itsway--and we went back to our paper calendar for ...
Slide-out keyboard. Apps can run in the background. Sleek design
No direct Mac syncing. iTunes sync is a cat-and-mouse game with Apple. Unintuitive UI. Keyboard layout can be confusing. Keys are teeny-tiny. Pre's App Catalog is sparse
Background apps are awesome, and (apparently) some users are still married to a physical keyboard. But for most Mac users, the Palm Pre doesn't stack up, leaving the smartphone score at Apple: 3, iPhone killers: 0.

Palm Pre Could Get Slight Sales Boost with O2 agreement

Like the iPhone two years ago, the Palm Pre will be an O2 exclusive at introduction in the UK, meaning that it'll be a signature phone rather than the "mass market" approach Palm originally hoped for (and that Apple has got its eyes up for recently). ...

Palm Pre Fits my needs perfectly.
Been using my new Palm Pre for about 2 weeks now and it is pretty much what I was looking for. All of the basic phone capabilities for today's business user are there and work well (phone, contacts, email, calendar, synch, maps/gps). Everything els...
WebOS, contacts and calendar synch, user interface.
All glossy finish requires a skin. No cursor control/nav button.
"Nice but..."
It was a lot of fun, but I text and surf the ...
Very fun system to use, not too hard to pick up on, good camera, good overall size, good images/screen quality, battery life was not an issue (just make sure you close programs if you are not using them), lots of free apps with more coming
frustrating and fickle touch screen especially when trying to zoom into webpages, small keyboard to type on, no on-screen keyboard, no predictive text, hard to be accurate with cursors
"This is a big disappointment from Palm"
Save your money and get an iPhone if the touc...
It has really cool features, (when they work) and I like the touch screen with a slide out keyboard
The phone locks up when switching apps, or when using an app such as googlemaps or text messaging, and you receive a call, the phone locks up like windows Vista, and by the time it corrects itself
