Palm IIIe - 03 (by Chris Murphy)
OK, I lied. I’m one day late.

This is a tumblelog, kinda like a blog but with short-form, mixed-media posts with stuff I like. Scroll down a bit to start reading, or a bit more to read more about me.
Palm Pre 2, running HP webOS 2.0. Basically a Pre with a faster processor and a Touchstone back. Other changes are fairly minimal with some tweaks to the keyboard and such I think. Come on, Palm, you’ll have to do better than this.
This hits Stateside in the coming months with Verizon first… other carriers unknown.

Outdated. Don’t get this either. Sorry, Palm.
Palm Pre Plus for AT&T, announced at CTIA 2010. This and the Palm Pixi Plus are the first U.S. GSM webOS devices from Palm. This Pre Plus is exactly the same as the Verizon’s version of the Pre Plus, with the obvious exception of the radio and band frequencies. The color accents on the keyboard of the AT&T version are also blue instead of orange. It has a full slide-out QWERTY keyboard, 16GB of user storage, and 512MB of RAM.
As an owner of one of these on AT&T, you’ll be able to access AT&T hotspots for free. It’ll retail for $149.99 on a 2-year contract, probably over $450 off-contract, sometime in the coming months.
If you really want this on AT&T, go for it, but I’d advise buying a webOS phone, until Palm brings out some new hardware. The Pre Plus and Pixi Plus, even with their upgrades over Sprint’s original Pre and Pixi, are slow and inadequate compared to the latest and greatest from HTC and Motorola. But I still think it’s a cute phone.
