Palm Pre Smartphone on Sprint Network
The Palm Pre Smartphone, aka by me ‘pow chica pow wow’, was a show stopper at the CES convention in Las Vegas. The Pre, coming soon on the Sprint network, was a surprise crowd pleaser: 1st because Palm isn’t known for stealing the show, 2nd because Sprint isn’t known for stealing the show either.
Palm Pre uses the Palm Synergy feature to bring your Outlook, Google, and Facebook calendars together for one logical view of your day. And if you have the same contacts in different places, Pre can link them together, making it easy to find the information you need. Read more below…
Keep multiple applications open and move easily between them—email, maps, photos, websites, whatever. Pre thinks of your applications as “activity cards”, and lets you flip through them, move them around, or throw them off screen.
The browser brings you full websites the way they were meant to be seen. Plus, the applications on the phone are connected to the web and constantly updated, so you get the latest information without having to work for it.
What’s cool on the Pre, thanks to Synergy, all your conversations with the same person are grouped together in one chat-style view. (Even if it started in IM, for example, and you want to reply with text.) You can also see who’s online right from contacts, and start a new conversation with just one touch.
Check email from Outlook or personal accounts like Gmail, AOL, and Yahoo!. Take advantage of Wi-Fi hotspots. And look up directions or nearby points of interest using GPS. It’s everything you need, everywhere you go.
Slide out the keyboard for faster and easier texting. Close it up and rotate Pre for music, websites, photos, and videos in full widescreen glory. You get the best of both worlds in one nicely designed phone.
