Palm Pre

The Palm Pre is a smart phone marketed and designed by Palm. It has a touch-screen and a slide-out keyboard. It also has a built-in camera, media player and GPS as well as Bluetooth and WiFi. It was launched on June 6, 2009 on Sprint, and on January 25, 2010 on Verizon, and May 16, 2010 on AT&T. Reviews are mixed, with some saying that the sliding mechanism is flimsy and loose. The curved screen also tends to be delicate and cracks easily. Many reviews say that the build quality is only "so-so".
