HP Pre 3, webOS goodness

Sponsored Advertisement
10 February 2011 – After a short hiatus, the Pre is back as the HP Pre 2, dropping the Palm nomenclature. It's a QWERTY slider that is very reminiscent of the original Pre with the same rounded edges. The screen however is much larger at 3.6-inch 800x480 display, 5-megapixel camera with Autofocus and LED flash, 720p HD video, a front-facing camera for video calling, mobile hotspot, and webOS 2.2. 


Pop the lid and there's a Qualcomm MSM 8x55 CPU running at 1.4GHz, 802. 11a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, A-GPS, a 1230 mAH battery, HSPA + and EVDO Rev A, making it a world phone. Oh, HP threw in 512MB RAM as well. It is Touchstone compatible and will go into exhibition mode when docked. 


The most interesting part is its symbiotic relationship with the Touchpad tablet which is able to take the Pre 3's voice calls, and bumping/touching the devices together will let you share URLs. The Pre 3 is coming this summer (June-September) with 8GB and 16GB variants.
