I like this phone. I just don’t know why there rest of Verizon customers don’t. This phone pretty much does everything. It does so much that it answers all the complaints that iPhone and Android users have. Not to mention it’s a major improvement from its younger sibling the Palm Pre which you can find on Sprint.

The Palm Pre Plus uses Palm’s Web OS. Web OS is fairly intuitive, supports multitasking, a sweet contact manager, native IM client, smart notifications, multitouch, Microsoft Exchnange, and an application to turn the phone into a mobile hotspot to support five other Wi-Fi devices. Web OS allows the user to have a lot more freedom with their phone. For example, with Web OS I can make any sound a ringtone. If a buddy of mine emails me an MP3 file I could also save that as a ringtone all on the phone within the mail app and settings. The iPhone does not allow any functionality like that. Lastly, unlike Android phones, the Pre has an all-in-one Media Player. I know, and that’s just the software. Oh and how could I have forgotten the full HTML browser that supports FLASH!!!

The most notable hardware upgrades are 16 GB of internal space and the laack of a trackball. The bottom part of the phone is now clear for gestures. The Plus version has a much nicer keyboard. The keys are spread out a little more with a great clicky feel to it. Also the slider part of the phone is not as sharp as the original Pre. The Pre Plus has a 3MP camera with an LED flash too.

The only negative I see in the phone is that it does not have a virtual keyboard. This is not a deal breaker by any means. With all this I have no idea why Palm is struggling and why the phone is not selling. Verizon has a phenomenal 3G network and they are selling it for just $150.00. That’s $50.00 less than the iPhone and popular Android Phones. You also get another $100.00 off if you’re up for your “new every two”. I don’t get it. At the regular price or the discounted price you’re getting arguably the most functional phone on the market for a steal. Verizon should be selling out of these phones. If you are on Verizon and need a new phone, there should be no question about, buy the Palm Pre Plus.
