Palm Pre next to take on iPhone
Wednesday, May 20th, 2009
Unless you live under a rock, you’ve heard that the newest cell phone to take on the iPhone is the Palm Pre. We went to our exclusive cell phone source to find out more. And by exclusive source, I mean the official website.
The new Palm Pre will be available June 6, just two days before the start of the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference where the newest iPhone will likely debut. Pre will use the Sprint network, and will be comparatively priced at $199… that is if you sign a new two-year contract and turn in your rebate. You know Sprint is banking on the fact that most people (like me) either forget about, or screw up, their rebate forms. However, Best Buy is offering to instantly rebate customers the $100. Smart move.
Now for the phone details:
– 3.1-inch touch screen with 24-bit color 320×480 resolution
– Physical QWERTY keyboard
– Microsoft Outlook
– Integrated IM, SMS, and MMS
– Built-in GPS
– 3 megapixel camera with LED flash and extended depth of field
– MP3, AAC, AAC+, AMR, QCELP, WAV compatable
– Supports WiFi and Bluetooth
– 8GB memory
– Width: 2.3 inches, Height: 3.9 inches, Thickness: 0.67 inches
– Weight: 4.76 ounces
