... display, 3.0-megapixel camera, 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, 8GB of internal memory, and a new operating system. Video after the break. Click here for first picture in gallery.
The Palm Pre is a lot smaller than I initially thought it would be. A good size comparison would be an iPod classic with a big hard drive. In terms of thickness, it's definitely not as thin as the iPhone, or even the bold, but it's an acceptable size considering it's a slider.

Palm's Pre Getting Good Reviews, So Far
Today @ PC World —
... " of the Pre's interface, which it says "outclasses most of its competition on a number of levels, and actually may be quite a bit more revolutionary than the iPhone." No small praise there. Gizmodo called the Pre " simply amazing " and said the device may be "the most important handset to be announced in two years." The software, screen quality, and camera earned the strongest praise, but the hardware design could be better, wrote reviewer Adrian Covert. MobileDevicesToday also ...

Top 10 CES and Macworld Announcements [Lifehacker Top 10]
Lifehacker —
... here's hoping that another firm with a killer app will use the empty slot next year to launch something great. 8. Palm is back in the game. [image] Until this week, discussion about web-enabled smartphones was mostly talking about the iPhone, the Others, and, okay, Google's Android, once it's on a few more phones. Then Palm initially way late to the game, and dwindling in market share launches a sleek, small, fully-loaded smartphone that even our seen-it-all siblings at Gizmodo were stunned by . Even if you're not planning to throw down the (reported) $399 for Palm's Pre, ...
Next Palm Pre WebOS Phone Will Be Cheap, Maybe Centro 2 [Rumor]
Gizmodo —
Palm Infocenter has "heard from a seemingly reliable firsthand source" that Palm's working on the Centro 2, which'll run the Pre's slobber-inducing WebOS and hit Sprint this fall. It goes along with what Sascha at PCMag (who would only print reliable tips) has heard: Not only will the WebOS be on lotsa Palm devices in as many form factors as colors of the rainbow, but the next WebOS may be "a lower-cost, candybar-style phone without a QWERTY keyboard." So even if the next WebOS phone from Palm isn't called the Centro 2, between the two ...

... Colligan's generally stormy course at Palm's helm finally reached some smooth waters: He just unveiled Pre, a fresh, attractive take on the smartphone, bolstered by healthy chunks of DNA from Apple and other new smartphone platforms via the talent they aggressively poached. He's proven he has what it takes to make big aggressive changes with this handset, and get the right talent in place, just like Steve Jobs would. And Colligan isn't afraid to make ...
Palm Tre Pro Priced And Available On Sprint: $250 [Treo Pro]
Gizmodo —
You'd be a bit batty to grab a Palm piece now that's not the Pre, but if you simply cannot wait and you're a Sprint WinMo masochist, it's available for $250 with two-year deal. Adrian, our resident Palm disciple, found the Treo Pro a very capable phone, as far as Windows Mobile handsets go. And it was Palm's best-designed phone, until the little pebble of Pre-ness was dropped on us at CES. Now it's a lot easier to find out if he was right with Sprint's WCDMA Pro, as before now it had not been subsidized by any carrier. [Sprint ...

Definitive Palm Pre Details and FAQ [Precyclopedia]
Gizmodo —
... Palm's Pre smartphone is unusual in that it slides vertically to reveal the QWERTY keyboard. It uses the same curved sliding action found on phones like the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1. The vertical keyboard was used partially to stand out from other phones, and partially to adhere to the philosophy of easy one-handed use. The phone has a multitouch screen and, when the keyboard is hidden, just three physical controls: A top button, a side volume rocker, and the Blackberry-esque trackball with clickable OK button. It also has a 3.5mm headphone jack, 3MP camera on the back (w/LED ...

Gizmodo —
... The price is steep, but about normal for a contract-free phone. Best Buy will ship the (currently backordered) Palm Treo out in one to two weeks. Methinks that if you've already waited long enough for the Palm Treo Pro to come out, you might as well wait for the Pre lest you get stuck with the-soon-to-be antiquated Windows Mobile 6.1 software.
