Palm Pre GSM Review
Score: 38.3 / 100Palm Pre GSM is a modest phone, packed with a 3 mega-pixels back facing camera and a compact 3.1" capacitive screen. Let's take a better look at what this phone has to offer.
It appears that Palm didn't care about the weight at all, putting together a 4.76 ounces cellphone. This cellphone is quite thick compared to nowadays phones, with its 0.67 inches thickness.
This phone is equipped with an average 480 x 320 3.1 inches display, which makes all pictures and movies look quite good. This display uses TFT capacitive technology, and can detect multi touch gestures.
This device has aquite big 8 GB internal storage memory and although it doesn't count with a slot for an external memory card, it is enough to store hundreds of apps, but it may not be enough if you are planning to install some of the heaviest games currently available.
The Palm Pre GSM features wi-fi connectivity (although it can't be shared with other devices around, acting as a mobile hotspot) and the fastest 3G connection type, using HSDPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This cellphone uses a SIM card for GSM connection.
The Palm Pre GSM is only equipped with a 3 mega-pixels back side camera. Additionally, this cellphone's camera also counts with geo tagging and flash.
This cellphone also features a couple useful characteristics like Bluetooth (for communication with other bluetooth cellphones, computers and accessories) and GPS, and a few sensors likeLight Sensor, Proximity Sensor and Accelerometer.
The Palm Pre GSM packs a low capacity 1150 mAh Li-Ion replaceable battery providing this cellphone with a poor battery duration. This cellphone has a reported 5 hours talk time and a 200 hs stand by time.
Palm is selling the Palm Pre GSM for $ 90, which is not cheap for comparing with other similar cellphones.
