First Pre Hands-On at Boy Genius

The geniuses over at Boy Genius Report have indeed gotten their mitts on a palm Pre and are telling tales. Even now they are hammering out a first in-depth review of the much hyped device but they took a few minutes out from gadget zen to post some pics and their first impressions.

Due warning…those impressions are not great..or not as great as many hoped they would be.

Here is a sample…

The Pre feels really good in your hand in terms of size and shape, but there’s a real plasticky aura about it. Additionally, things aren’t looking good for that QWERTY either. And 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.

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.
