Palm Pre 2 Review
HP introduced the Palm Pre 2 smartphone, the latest evolution to the Palm Pre lineup. Pre 2 is the first Palm phone with a gigahertz processor and features a 5-megapixel camera, a glass screen and a sleeker, streamlined design that still gives users the ideal combination of a vivid touchscreen and a slide-out keyboard.

Tap a message notification while you’re playing a 3D game.2,3 With HP webOS 2.0, accomplishing more is effortless.
Palm Pre 2 features a sleeker design that still gives you the perfect combination of a vivid touchscreen and slide-out keyboard. And now with a completely smooth glass display, Palm Pre 2 is as durable as it is graceful.
Pause a game, tap an email notification, check your calendar, read a restaurant review, send an email reply, then switch back to the game without closing anything.1,2 Now in webOS 2.0, your open apps are logically grouped together in card stacks, so managing multiple tasks is ridiculously easy.
Keep your contacts and calendars up to date automatically with built-in integration for Facebook®, Google™, LinkedIn®, Yahoo!® and Microsoft® Exchange.4 When a contact’s information changes in one place, like an email address on LinkedIn, for example, you’ll see it updated on your phone.
