Is the Palm Pre Cell Phone a Good Choice? - By: Sherry Tingley

The cell phone market is competitive and deciding which cell phone is best for your needs can be difficult. The popular iPhone now has a competitor on the market called the Palm Pre.

This high-tech gadget has some nice features, one of which is the Activity Card function. The use of the activity card lets users switch applications without closing them down. It provides access to the application installed on the phone in a quick and easy manner.

Combined messaging is a new function of the Palm Pre cell phone. Palm Pre is the first to incorporate combined messaging in a cell phone. Using your Palm Pre, you can now track your conversations through IM, email or even text messaging in one simple screen. You can have conversations with your online friends with them right in the same group.

If you use a lot of calendar options on several websites, Palm Pre's Layered Calendar and Linked Contacts can integrate your schedule effectively. It can pull up your different calendars from Facebook, Google and Outlook and combine it into one comprehensive and efficient calendar form. Even your contacts are done the same way.

The Intuitive Notification feature makes your life a lot more bearable since it notifies you of your appointments and it also lets you know if you still have unread email and text messages. The notifications are less intrusive compared to other products as it is placed only at the bottom of the screen.

Admittedly, the iPhone still wins when it comes to the number of applications included in the mobile phone. Nevertheless, the users and fans of Palm Pre are confident that once the application developers see the potential of the latest model of the Palm Pre mobile phone, it will soon be populated with available applications as well. It may not be at the very near future but it will definitely happen in the months to come.

The Palm Pre can be viewed as sleek, beautiful and sturdy as the iPhone. However, unlike the iPhone, the Palm Pre has a slide out keypad feature. This adds style and functionality to the mobile phone. Another feature that it has that iPhone has as well is the ability to view from widescreen and back to normal view in just one sway. Its picture quality is flawless. Photos have vibrant quality that stands out from the rest.

As of the moment, it is still too early to tell if the Palm Pre is too much of a competition against the much popular iPhone mobile phone. Yet, it is a great alternative for the Sprint network users if they are satisfied with the service and would like to stay with the said provider. The power of the palm Pre proves that it is one of the high-tech gadgets that the iPhone empire should be wary of.
