First Pre Hands-On at Boy Genius
Mobility Site — ... hit multiple keys at the same time while typing. It’s actually really frustrating and doesn’t bode well for such a fantastic social communication/personal/business tool. OK, the keyboard worries me from this report as I am debating which phone to buy myself for next Hannukah, the Treo Pro or the Pre. Perhaps I may go with the Pro, as smooth email and typing capability is for me a mission critical feature. See all their impressions, and soon the full review, HERE.       ...

Palm Pre Hands-On Requires Tiny Fingers
jkOnTheRun — ... While the rest of the geek world waits for the June 6th launch of Palm’s Pre, BGR finagled a unit early.

Because the hardware is “plasticky,” according to Boy Genius and “you often hit multiple keys at the same time while typing.” Because, to paraphrase the old saying, no matter how much you obsess and how many Apple engineers you hire the last opinion always falls to the consumer. ...

First Palm Pre Review Hits The ‘Net
GEARFUSE — ... hey, you know we take them keyboards seriously! When you try and type on the top row of keys, your finger hits the bottom part of the front piece and on top of that, you often hit multiple keys at the same time while typing. It’s actually really frustrating and doesn’t bode well for such a fantastic social communication/personal/business tool. He goes on to say it’s no iPhone but the screen beats out the T-Mobile G1. So what do you think? Are you going to get a Pre come June ? Link
