pre plus also has a higher memory like doubling the normal memory size of the normal pre.

pre plus under verizon also contain more software upgrades and application.

Hey GSMArena, where is the Pre Plus? It's been sometime and I don't see any specs on this phone. I know it's basically updated Pre, but why isn't there any info about that? Apart from this, keep up the good work.

make sure you configure your phone according to your position to make sure you will have the correct gps service

im an insider of palm tech support..yes you can still use ur PIM even if your phone is off line. Palm profile which is the data base of the device will update your PIM once a day..

overall assesment of the phone is, it has the best platform ever specially its synergy feature except for the data loss occuring during os updates.

correction for the web os version of web os that shoots video. it webos version 4.0.1 which is still catered by Verizon carrier.

Sure someone else has already pointed this out but GSM Arena need to update the spec for the Pre, it does now shoot video (courtesy of WebOS 1.4 update)

> In reply to Bert @ 2010-03-08 21:40 from Tkgxhi, i have a palm pre and have to say im loving it!!

its amazing!!.. With regards to your q about staying online: no you can switch off data from the phones settings and use the phone as normal and then turn it back on or use wifi when you want.

about the usb 0transfer q: there isn't any supplied softare i know of that does this, but with 3rd party software you can do this. Also if you just want to takes files off the device and put new files on it, you can't choose to turn the fone into a mass data device allowing it to connect to the pc.
hope this helped.

2.Can you synic all your details via a usb connection without doing it on line.

> In reply to Arun @ 2010-02-28 19:29 from v{QuI believe it will depend on where you buy it. Unless I'm mistaken, the Palm Pre is not exclusive to one company like Iphone is. That means you can look for an already unlocked cellphone.

I have a couple of Questions for someone who is using the phone.
1) Can you send messages to a group of 10(Can we create Groups to send sms) or more at 1 stroke or you have to select every indiviual everytime you want to send a Text to more than 1 person - A big bug in the earlier Treo Mobiles!!
2) Can you send messages to the whole category example Business/Friends @ 1 stroke.
3) How many single key speed dials are there ? are they same to the earlier version of Treo Palm Os ?
4) What talk time is available on a single charge ?
5) In CDMA version is it Sim card based or Programming based ?
6) Is the Touch functionality comparable to I-Phone ?
7) Is it a worthy buy @ 300$
