Woot! I've been clamoring to get my hands on a Pre since it's announcement, and thanks to a tip I read here yesterday about finding the non-corporate Sprint stores in my area, I was able to get some alone time with the coveted device. I may start calling it "my precious", so bear with me. Before I get to some of my impressions, let me just say that I've fallen in love- it's a joy to use, to look at, and to hold.

I was concerned about a few things, which were my main motivating factors for wanting to see the Pre; that, and I'm a techno-geek (don't tell my gf I admitted to it). My concerns were the keyboard, the form factor, and the internet speeds.

The Pre is sexy, and tiny- exactly what I want a phone to be. It did seem a little slippery though, but that could've been just been my excitement in holding my precious. It's light, yes, but cheap? HELL no. This is not a Fisher-Price toy, and I rather think those reviews saying otherwise have been using a standard smartphone for far too long and were expecting a certain heft. The phone feels like it can disappear into my pocket, and that's a good thing.

Opening/Closing:
5 I4 S+ w$ y' Y4 ~3 P# }0 nSome people seem to be concerned about opening and closing it- those concerns are unfounded. It has a satisfying click when opened, and another satisfying click when closed. It can all be done one-handed, without issue. Well, let me revise that- I was able to open and close it without fuss in my left hand (I'm right handed), but my right hand had trouble for some reason. I should point out that to open it one-handed, my thumb had to use the screen itself as leverage, and not the bottom of the phone, as you may think.: C0 g; N9 W. \3 l

Keyboard:6 [- D2 b9 A0 e& B1 y, @! e: I
We've all heard from multiple people that the keyboard is small. Make no mistake about it- it's tiny. I'm coming from an iPhone that I've had for two years, and it's a little tough to get back into the habit of pressing down on keys as well. I had to type slower in order to be accurate, but in no means was it slow- I just had to slow down. I do miss the "space double-tap" to insert a space and a period, but I think I can adjust. I would prefer it if Palm added that functionality, however.

Gestures:
: A( z# g W0 ]3 n {# eI've feasted on Palm Pre videos like a rabid vampire, and I expected them to be like second nature; they weren't. They're going to take an hour to get used to, so don't expect people to be able to pick up your phone and start using it instantly- they may get confused. I'm fairly certain we won't see any YouTube videos with a toddler using the Pre like we did with the iPhone, but I'm ok with that. I forgot to keep using the back gesture, and found myself confused as to how to go back quite a number of times. Bottom line: it's not second nature yet, but I expect it will be within an hour or so of playing with it.

0 P M" \( d2 _; fIt's lovely, although it's small. If there was one thing that was completely shocked me about the phone, it would have to be the size of it. Again, I'm coming from the iPhone, where everything is kindergarten big. It's like going from regular-lined notebook paper to college-rule. When you go into card view, the cards are small, and when you hold one down to reorganize them, they're tiny. But what's great is that the entire thing is 100% usable. Palm must've done a lot of work in this department, and it shows. When you go into dashboard view, it's a little clumsy to tell which screen you're on, though; the indicators on the side don't really help much. We all know that Palm changed the gesture to get into the Dashboard view- one swipe up to get into card view, and another to get into Dashboard View. Getting into it is lightning quick, but getting out (doing the swipe down) isn't as quick. I'd like to see Palm improve that.

When the manager first showed me the phone, he literally closed 10 open cards ranging from websites, to the Sudoku game, to Nascar, to settings, etc. He had a wide range of apps open on the phone. Although my time limited me to just exploring the basics, he said that he hadn't had any slowdown, which, based on the load times for applications I experienced, I would have to take as gospel. The speed of the phone is fast- it made my iPhone feel as if I've been dragging it through mud.

Woot! I opened the app, took a picture, and was ready to take another one within 3 seconds. That's on par with most phones, and it's warp speed compared to Apple's beast. I've always been against cameras on phones because of the picture quality, but at least I couldn't find any usability concerns. From the videos I've seen, there looked to be a noticeable lag after snapping the pic to save it in memory, but there was no such lag when I took pictures.

I confirmed that you can slide open the Pre and dial a number instantly. Even if the phone's screen is off, just slide it open and dial. The only caveat is that you must be in card view, or Dashboard view, so you would slide to open, slide up for card view, then dial the number. If you're in the phone app, you can use the soft keys, or the tactile keys to dial numbers. Can I just say how excited I am for my phone to act like a phone again? The iPhone's has a lot of things bass-ackwards, and this was one of them. Sometimes it's just the little things, folks.( J9 x+ ]; Q8 V! w9 ~: }$ B

Sprint TV:
# {4 L0 }. F9 ]' `+ wIt was "eh". There was a lot of macro-blocking and pixillation, but I'm pretty excited that I can watch it, regardless. The quality I'm sure is dependent on your signal, so that's one area that may change. I tested the speakerphone while watching ABC, and it sounded kind of tinny, but I'm not sure if that was a result of the compression algorithm that Sprint uses for the TV, or whether the speakerphone is sub-par. It's not LOUD, LOUD, by any means- I would put it on par with the iPhone (which isn't saying much).7 A5 }5 `' ?+ k$ o+ q0 u

Overall:

The speakerphone would have to be the weakest feature I tested. I'm pretty happy with everything else- even the keyboard, and I have pretty big fingers. The biggest surprise? My immediate attraction to it. You know what it looks like? It looks like the iPhone done right. Oh yeah- the "trackball" at the bottom actually clicks- for some reason, I thought it may not.

Pics of me testing the keyboard on a memo, the clock app, and the lock screen- for some reason I can't recall seeing it before. 8am Saturday, baby! Shout out to the Sprint Store in Orange, California. Activation fee was waived, and he's hooking me up with a 10% discount on my phone plan, and accessories.
