Just got my hands on one of these Palm Pre Smartphones. Kinda of a new experience getting used to a web based OS but after a slight learning curve I think Im gonna like it. The graphics are extremely sharp and it hooks up to my home wifi so easy its unbelievable. Downloads are a snap and the App store already has dozens of very cool apps to extend the use of the phone. Browsing the web is also extremely well built in. After switching from a Blackberry almost any web browser would be an upgrade.

The only thing I wish it came with was a decent carrying case. The little cloth bag that ships with the Palm Pre is pretty useless as a carrying case. Also if you dont get some type of screen protector you will likely end up with a cloudy screen. There is also a protective carry case that covers the back plate and the perimeter of the screen which is a must since the smooth plastic of the pre can become pretty slippery. All in all this is one of the best phones I have ever own so far and find new features That ive overlooked everyday. All that being said take a look at these auctions and pick up a few of the essentials need for your new Palm Pre Smartphone...
