Palm Pre Plus Phone | A Mobile Wi-Fi Router Smartphone
Speaking about Palm Pre Plus Phone, we immediately notice that the Plus is the improvements of its predecessor, the Palm Pre. The Plus of course comes out with revamped keyboards that improves the overall look and feel of the device. The new Mobile Phone also supports for a big 16 GB internal memory and a double RAM that provides a high speed performance.
If you see the Palm Pre Plus, at first glance you do not know the different with the original Palm Pre Phone as both have the same measure (3.9×2.3×0.67 inches), the same multitouch screen ( 3.1-inch HVGA) and a slider design. However, the Plus have improved the overall look and feel of the device. You do not find out the center knob as on the Palm Pre’s that takes you to the Deck of Card View. It’s integrated into the gesture area to provide sleek and slim design. It also allows you to experience the smoothness when pressing the keys and moving your fingers from side to side.
Features
One of the strong points of the Palm Pre Plus is Palm WebOS 1.3.5.1 that lets you manage applications at a time, unlike any other mobile platform today. It allows you to keep multiple activities open and instantly flip from one to another using card view. You can read the detail of WebOS platform in Amazon.
With 16GB internal memory, the Palm Plus lets you store more files and data into your device although for some people, they still like to have expandable memory instead. It also has supports for double RAM to give speedier device’s performance.
Another the Plus’ great feature is the new Palm Mobile Hotspot Utility. This feature allows you to change the Palm Smartphone into a mobile Wi-Fi Router that gives an internet broadband connectivity using Verizon’s EV-DO Rev A. The Hotspot device can be shared up to 5 devices.
You can read the try out of Wi-Fi Router from cnet as follows:
We tried it out on our review unit and the feature worked like a charm. After turning on the mobile hot spot and setting up our password, we were able to tether three devices to the Pre Plus, including our Lenovo ThinkPad T61 laptop and iPod Touch, without any problems and achieved fairly decent speeds. Based on five Speedtest.net tests conducted around the Manhattan area, download speeds averaged 1.214Mbps and upload speeds averaged 0.442Mbps.
Bottom Lines
The Palm Pre Plus smartphone comes out with improvements of the original Palm Pre. Beside the revamped keyboard that makes you enjoyable when typing, pressing the keys and moving your fingers across the keypad, the Plus supports for the new WebOs that allows you to manage many application at a time. It of course makes you faster when doing your tasks. The 16 GB internal memory, double RAM and Mobile Wi-Fi Router are other great features. However, the sound that comes out from the speakerphone is not the best but you can still optionally use the headsets that are compatible with the smartphone for a better result.
