Design
To facilitate all this is a best-of-breed design. First, you’ve got a multitouch screen that’s absolutely sharp and brilliant in color with its half-VGA (320×480) resolution. Not only can you use the screen to navigate, there’s a gesture area right below the display where you can use finger swipes and touches to launch menus, [敏*感*词]s, applications, go back, or advance. I’ve made it no secret that I’m a huge texter and need physical buttons, so I was more than delighted when I saw that the smartphone had a keyboard. The Pre’s keyboard is similar to that of the Palm Treo Pro; the buttons are a little on the smaller side, but there is a good amount of space between them to reduce any problems.

Again, looking at the design of the phone, I could tell time and thought was spent on the device. The hardware feels solid and not as plasticky as the Palm Centro. When you slide open the Pre, it has a slight curve that makes it comfortable to hold against your cheek when talking on the phone or even when typing out messages. Also, going back to the touch screen, it felt responsive and–hooray!–on Web pages, you can pinch the screen like the iPhone to easily zoom in and out of pages.

Multimedia
As far as [敏*感*词], the Palm Pre offers a 3-megapixel camera. Unfortunately, I didn’t get a chance to snap any photos, but early reports say that the quality is pretty good. Disappointingly, the camera won’t have video recording capabilities at this time, but those could be added in the future. In terms of music, like the T-Mobile G1, Palm has partnered with the Amazon Music Store, so you will be able to purchase songs over the air from your Pre.
