The newest addition to the smartphone family has finally arrived. The long awaited iPhone Killer is finally available to all the tech fans of the world. Along with the announcement of its release the features the phone came with got equal billing. The Palm Pre phone has a lot to live up to. While they hype might be a little misleading the Palm Pre is still a great phone which might even steal some potential iPhone customers. With its great capabilities it is a great phone to go up against the iPhone.
The Palm Pre is made out of plastic. Many people assumed the Palm Pre would be less durable than other phones on the market. But on the contrary the phone is just as strong as any other phone. The plastic is of the highest quality. Being made out of plastic also makes the Palm Pre the only phone that can easily be recycled. This is important to all the environmentally conscious phone users in the world. One feature which is almost the standard among smartphones is a full QWERTY keyboard. The keyboard isn’t up to par with the rest of the phone. The keys are located very close to each other and are unusually small. Those with small to average sized fingers using the keyboard will take getting used to. But for people with big or wide set fingers, they are going to have real trouble with it.
One of the most amazing features found on the Palm Pre is the ability to multitask. On the Palm Pre you are able to have multiple apps running at any given moment. The operating system works perfectly and even with many different apps open at once the phone didn’t experience any slow down or lag. The multitasking also works seamlessly while receiving phone calls, emails, and messages. On previous smartphones an app will automatically be paused while you receive a call and you will see an alert displayed that engulfs the whole screen. On the Palm Pre the alerts are less cumbersome and annoying. If you receive a call in the middle of using an app you’ll see a display across the lower 3rd of the screen. Giving you the option to pick up or ignore the call without having to quit your app.
The Palm Pre takes full advantage of the Wi-Fi and 3G offered up front. Surfing the web is fantastic and websites load almost instantly. With its superior screen and amazing network the Palm Pre is a real pleasure to use. The touch screen found on the Palm Pre is very responsive and even further expands on the finger commands introduced by the iPhone. The Palm Pre gives you multiple ways to execute any task.
While the Palm Pre may not exactly be the iPhone killer it was billed as, it certainly does improve on many of the iPhones basic functions. The improved picture quality and operating system is a huge step forward, but the small keyboard many feel is a step back. Anyone in the market for a smartphone should seriously consider the Palm Pre.
