The launch of the Palm Pre in stores took place over the weekend. Piper Jaffray analyst Michael Walkley claimed that the launch of the Pre was a “solid” success. Over 50,000 units were sold in the first two days. I’m assuming that most people that bought the phone knew about the pros and cons beforehand. I tried searching for a list of the pros and cons on the web, but I haven’t seen much of a list yet. Since there isn’t much info about the pros and cons out there, below is a list of them for you.
Pros:
- WebOS is fast and easy
- Screen is high quality
- Network speed is fast
- Web browser is fast
- Option to use keyboard along with the touchscreen
- GMail push works
- Speaker is loud and clear
- Ability to multitask
- Threaded SMS
Cons:
- Keyboard is small
- Finger prints tend to remain on the screen
- Battery life isn’t that great (1 hour conversation takes up about 30% battery)
- No expandable memory option
- Tethering doesn’t work
- No ability to search e-mail
- Cut and paste has limitations
- Only a few applications available for download (App Catalog)
- Phone warms up pretty quickly
- CDMA (Sprint-only)
