Palm Pre Phone (Sprint)

The revolutionary Palm Pre will make your life simpler by always being one step ahead. The Palm Pre will pull each of your online calendars into a single, easy-to-view screen, so you’ll always be on top of your appointments, and it will automatically link all your contacts from different sources, letting you easily find what you need when you need it.

Whether you are sending emails or text messages, browsing the web, listening to music, or simply making a phone call, the Palm Pre makes everything than ever.
The Palm Pre features Synergy technology, which gathers all your information from different sources and puts them together in one place for you to see. Instead of having your information scattered in different screens, the Pre automatically brings them together so you can easily find what you need. If you have calendars from Microsoft Outlook, Google, and Facebook, Synergy will automatically gather all your appointments and put them into one easy-to-view calendar, so you won’t miss an appointment again.

The Pre also makes managing your contacts simple — not only will it gather your contacts from different places such as Google, Exchange, and Facebook, but if you have the same contacts in different places, this revolutionary phone will automatically link them together so they show up just once. And all your conversations with the same person will automatically be gathered into one chat-style view. For example, if you start a conversation via text message with someone, the Pre lets you quickly reply via IM or email.

Palm Pre Phone (Sprint) Review

I’ve had the Palm Pre nearly 2 months now, and overall I have to say that I am very, very pleased. The ability to multitask has made it all too simple to quickly flip between web pages, Twitter, music and email. The card system is the simplest multitasking paradigm I’ve seen on any platform, handheld or desktop. The notification system for incoming phone calls, new emails, text messages and calendar events is best in class, as you’re able to deal with these other tasks on your schedule, not according to the dictates of the phone. And it’s fun to use, too. While there are not thousands of third-party applications yet, the ones available are of uniformly high quality and are always useful. The turn-by-turn directions (free with every Sprint plan available) are dead-on accurate and have me wondering if I really need that fancy GPS that’s integrated in my car. As a phone, it’s much better than expected. While the signal strength is a bit worse than the Palm Centro it replaced, it’s rarely an issue since free roaming (voice & data) is included. The speakerphone has gotten rave reviews from folks on the other end of the call, apparently it works quite well. I especially like it paired with the Touchstone, as the speakerphone automatically activates when placed on the dock, and it switches back to regular mode when picked up. Cool. I’ve got this working with 3 Bluetooth devices so far… an inexpensive headset, an Eclipse AVN-2210p in-car GPS and the Motorola ROKR S9-HD headphones. The headphones work for music and voice calls, and the controls work great for music. Speaking of which, the Palm media player works well, as it easily syncs with iTunes to update Podcasts, music & playlists automatically. In fact, it’s so good as an MP3 player that I’ve sold an iPod Touch and I haven’t used the Nano since purchasing it!

The web browser works very well, able to navigate to any web page (except for crappy Flash-based sites) and works seamlessly on iPhone-optimized websites. The screen is a little on the small sign, but laser sharp. If the text gets too small, I just flip to landscape mode and then reading is a breeze. Using gestures to navigate websites and to launch new cards (applications) takes about 5 seconds to learn and then quickly becomes second nature. And of course, it has a very usable thumbboard, making it easy for anyone to tap out text messages (unlimited on the Sprint plan), send email or even write new blog posts. From card view, you can start typing and the Pre automatically finds email addresses, phone numbers and bookmarks that fit the characters. Or you can immediately search Google or Wikipedia to find the information you need. The camera is very good, great for emailing pics and the colors are very nice. The flash makes it usable in a pinch even in the lowest light, and with the right lighting conditions (just before sunset, in the fog) the photos could easily be mistaken for something taken by a point & shoot camera or even an SLR.
