Palm Pre 2 Hands-on

With almost a year and a half under its belt, the once fresh and relevant Palm Pre is clearly beginning to show off its age as we've seen it slowly becoming more of a distant memory than anything else. Happily, HP Palm recently unveiled their followup successor with the Palm Pre 2 which has some notable improvements under the hood with its updated webOS platform.

Good changes from the first, but I still prefer Android OS to all others.

Apple needs to make a THEMESTORE - just like the appstore

(Thumbs up this if you agree!)

@greenscreeningthings Palm WebOS 3.0 (With a re-designed UI), iOS App Store, HTC Phone Hardware, Super AMOLED + Super High Pixel Density, and a dual core Cortex A9 on a phone would be HEAVEN!

@2fast4uspartan Actually, I have larger than "average" hands and I had a terrible time typing on the keyboard, @ first, but after using it for +4 months, I have really gotten used to it, and now I can't type on a BlackBerry or any other smartphone keyboard because my fingers are so used to the Pre keyboard. :D

Have they sorted out the 'sharp' bevel the original Pre had on the slide-out keyboard?

@The29thStreet its a smartphone, so probably not.

Question:

Is this phone worth buying if I'm not planning on using internet?
