Palm introduced the Pre, along with the new WebOS, back in January and much like every other tech enthusiast around the globe, we were simply blown away by the brilliant looks, functionality and features that the Pre had to offer.

It is therefore that we have been keeping a close-eye on anything Pre and even though it is not possible for us to write a hands-on review of this device, we are still managing to share everything that we know about the Pre and how it will or will not succeed in the mobile market as compared to the the Highness of phones, the iPhone.

From much of what we have read and seen, the WebOS will be something really to look forward too. Its quite responsive and user-friendly as the iPhoneOS and yes, it does support multi-tasking.

Everything from multimedia, web browsing, photo viewing to contact synchronization seems pretty mature considering that its the first generation of the WebOS and we are sure, it will give a tough competition to the iPhone though the Pre might lag behind in popularity when it comes to availability of more apps but perhaps that gap will eventually be bridged as well.

The Pre is pretty small and also light-weight. Of course it is not possible for us to give out a thought on the feel-of-hand for this phone without actually testing it but from what we assume about it, it will definitely fit in your pockets and still leave room for the other stuff.

As compared to the iPhone, we give the Pre an edge over being light, easy to handle and also being the most suitable candidate for pocket-resting.

Now comes the hardware part, which makes us drown into oceans of disappointment considering the Pre runs on such a brilliant OS.

Palm might believe that it has done a fine job at incorporating a physical keyboard in the device but the fact is that now a days users are more inclined towards using a keyboard that comes with corresponding functions to the apps they use and that can only be done with a virtual keyboard like the iPhone has. Also, the slide-out fashion is kind of getting old and annoying in phones where you have to pop-out a keyboard whenever you need to type something.

Thats all from here. Our verdict believes that the Palm Pre might turn out to be a consumer-friendly device but it will still be hard enough for Pre to surpass the iPhone in terms of features, form and functionality.

Perhaps we will get to see more about the Pre on June 6th. Don’t forget to check back for more launch reviews.
