The Palm Pre /ˈpriː/, styled as palm prē, is a multitask smartphone that was designed and marketed by Palm with a multi-touch screen and a sliding keyboard. The smartphone was the first to use Palm's Linux based mobile operating system, webOS. The Pre functions as a camera phone, a portable media player, and has location and navigation capabilities. The Pre also serves as a personal information manager, has a number of communication and collaboration applications, and has Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity built-in.
The Pre was launched in the United States of America on June 6, 2009 with Sprint, and later in Canada with Bell Mobility. A GSM version of the original Pre was launched later in 2009 on a number of networks in Europe and in Mexico. A revised model, the Palm Pre Plus, which doubled the available memory and internal storage, was launched on January 25, 2010, for Verizon Wireless and later released on AT&T Mobility on May 16, 2010. The third generation of Palm Pre, the Palm Pre 2, which uses HP webOS 2.0 was announced October 2010. The Palm Pre became the fastest selling phone in Sprint's history.

Palm's webOS software was hailed as one of the best around, but sadly didn't get the hardware support or app developer support it deserved.

It's been four years to the day that Palm's would-be savior platform, webOS, launched to much hoopla with the original Pre. And though the days since have been dark ones indeed for the all-but-dead platform, we thought it would be nice to indulge our nostalgia on this, the anniversary day of "20090606," with a Palm Pre unboxing. Fortunately, our own Michael Fisher happened to have a like-new Palm Pre box, an artifact from a launch-day excursion to his local Sprint store all those years ago. And while the Pre within might charitably be called "well-loved" in terms of its physical condition, he still manages a signature screen protector peel-off - while spouting a bevy of mawkish memories only a fanboy could love. Is it a little over the top? Yes. Is webOS worth it? Also yes. If you don't ...
Never thought I'd actually get my hands one one of these. A definite piece of smartphone history. One mistake I made in the video: HP did not acquire Palm until April 2010. They promptly discontinued all Palm hardware a year later. webOS lives on in some LG smart TVs, though. Check out the GFY Media Group: https://goo.gl/IH03bN
This was my not so great experience trying to buy a Palm Pre today.. I ended up not getting one. I will be iPhone for life, I guess.
It's about time! I've finally gotten to reviewing the Palm Pre from Sprint, which is supposed to be their answer to the iPhone, especially now that they've got the 3GS. How does it fare up? Follow me, TweeterMan287, on Twitter! http://www.tweetermanreviews.com
It's the Prizefight you've been waiting for between the titans of touch screen phones. Does the Palm Pre have what it takes to beat out the iPhone in its first bout? This one goes down to the wire!
The HP Palm Pre 3 might be going extinct, but it's still on sale now. It's running with a fast 1.4GHz single-core Qualcomm Snapdragon chip with 512MB of RAM 8GB of ROM. It has a larger display at 3.6" and WVGA resolution, which is the highest resolution of any WebOS smartphone yet. The current version, slated for Europe, has the bands needed to do 3G on AT&T; in the US.
