MSRP: US$550, CAN$650
Sprint: US$299 on a two-year contract (+$100 mail in rebate... but we hate those)
Bell: CAN$199 on a three-year contract
- Build quality is great.
- Full QWERTY keyboard is comfortable to type on. However, we found the top row of keys can be a little difficult to hit thanks to the fact that the screen portion of the slider blocks the top of your thumbs.
- 3.1 inch screen running webOS as the phone's operating system.
- Touch and gesture based interface.
- Browser engine quickly renders full HTML pages.
- Allows for background applications: you can run apps as "cards" to keep them going in the background while you use other apps or phone functions.
- Has an applications store on the device called "App Catalog."
- App Catalog is in beta and needs fleshing out but shows promise.
- Setting up email is easy. If you add a Gmail account, the Pre will also offer to associate your Google Calendar, which is a nice touch.
- Combined messaging allows you to take a conversation from one venue to another: from email to IM to text to call.
Includes:
- Microfiber case
- USB charge / sync cable
- USB wall charger
- Stereo headphones
- Manuals
