It's here, Gizmodo <http://gizmodo.com/5277499/palm-pre-review> 's extensive review of the Palm Pre. In short, they're really impressed with the software, but there're areas to improve, on the hardware side.
Gizmodo's say about the Pre: * Multitouch is glorious * Screen is bright, bezel provides great contrast and overall holds up nicely to the iPhone * Build quality is only so-so, and feels plasticky * Bottom edge of the phone is way too sharp * It's a hardware keyboard - Keys are too small, plasticky and don't give enough feedback * Camera doesn't suck * A lot of time and care and great ideas were put into this OS * Universal Search for contacts works well * Dated speed dial implementation * Facebook and Google sync keeps you connected, but may populate your phones with a bunch of people you don't actually know * Multitasking works well, but it's up to you to figure out how many apps your phone can take * The Launcher only has three screens, and requires a lot of scrolling to find your app * The home screen's Quick Launch only holds five apps, but you can customize them * If Palm continues to ensure iTunes syncing capability, it'll ease the transition for people with large iTunes libraries * First party apps are solid * The App Catalog has a handful of decent apps already, but the fact that Palm is singling out only trusted developers to write software for the Pre isn't a great sign * Impressive start to an OS that should form the base of some quality phones in the future * Hardware quality is lacking, and feels flimsy and plasticky compared to the G1, G2 and the iPhone [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
