Technology Review: Palm Pre Plus

I would not call myself a technological guru nor would I call myself technologically ignorant. I guess being a blogging stay-at-home, social networking mommy makes me a little bit in between.

When it comes to the basics of setting up electronics I'm sure I could read manuals and figure it all out, but typically leave it up to my husband who's more suited in that realm of things. But learning my way around the Palm Pre Plus was pretty easy all things considered.

As I took the Palm Pre Plus out of the Verizon box I was immediately impressed by the size and shape of the Smartphone. It was very sleek, yet not too good looking to be functional.

The Palm Pre Plus features:

  • 3G-enabled smartphone with intuitive Palm webOS platform, touchscreen and slide-out QWERTY keyboard; easy integration with Google, Facebook, LinkedIn and more
  • GPS-enabled for turn-by-turn directions; can be used as a 3G Mobile Hotspot for up to five Wi-Fi connected devices
  • 16 GB internal memory; 3-megapixel camera/camcorder; Bluetooth stereo music streaming; Wi-Fi-enabled
  • Up to 5.5 hours of talk time, up to 350 hours (14.5 days) of standby time

What's in the Box: handset, rechargeable battery, AC charger, micro USB cable, quick start guide, gesture guide, self-cleaning carry pouch.

One feature I loved about the Palm Pre Plus was it's incredibly fast connection to wireless and the fact that I didn't have to do any steps or change any settings. It was quite seamless even during our daily travels.

I also liked the ease of the touchscreen once I learned all of the directional queues, the clarity and crispness of the pictures, (better than some point-and-shoot cameras I've owned even), and the ease of getting onto my Gmail, and Facebook pages.

Palm Pre Plus makes it incredibly easy to access the Internet and any pages you might be interested in. Although not as simple as using your PC to surf the Web, it really does make many pages and features including chats very accessible.
