\"\"<\/a>1 iPhones<\/a> are already ubiquitous. And they\u2019re about to get even more so<\/strong>iPhones are undoubtedly fine bits of kit. But any early-adopter kudos they had disappeared about ten million unit sales ago. And with Orange and Vodafone about to join O2 in offering Apple<\/strong><\/a> handsets, they\u2019re going to be ten-a-penny in a few months time. By contrast, the Palm Pre is cutting-edge and still rare-as-hen\u2019s-teeth exclusive.<\/p>\n

2 Let\u2019s get physical (keyboards)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Unlike the iPhone, the Palm Pre offers touchscreen functionality for the fun stuff, but is mindful that there are some times when only a physical QWERTY keyboard will do. Ever tried composing lengthy emails on an iPhone<\/a> touchscreen? It\u2019s not the best.<\/p>\n

3 Happier snapping<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Pre is fitted with a 3.2 megapixel camera with LED flash and boasts variable depth perception. In our book that makes it leagues ahead of the flash-free iPhone 3G S as a snapper.<\/p>\n

4 Wireless charging<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Touchstone charging panel – sold separately – allows Palm Pre owners to juice up their handsets simply by placing them on a dock. Once there, a magnetic field generates electricity which charges up the battery<\/a>. Better still, you can stick your handset on speakerphone while it’s on the device and continue to take calls the whole time.<\/p>\n

5 Removable Mobile Phone battery<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Replacing the battery on an iPhone is trial by screws, fiddlyness and frustration – especially if you\u2019re caught short and need to make\/take a call as a matter of urgency. But the Pre\u2019s laptop battery<\/strong><\/a> can be removed in a trice, allowing you to pop in a spare in a matter of seconds.<\/p>\n

6 Smooth OS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reviewers were united in their praise of the way the Pre enables users to access multiple applications simultaneously with minimum lag. This, combined with the seamless integration of a raft of services, means that the Pre a doozie for making the most of your time.<\/p>\n

7 The App<\/a> Store has an app for everything. But loads of them are dreadful<\/strong><\/p>\n

No more to add here. But ponder this: Did the world really need that egregious, shockingly ill-judged Baby Shaker game? And as for the Pepsi app that made Spinal Tap look like riot grrll faves Bikini Kill\u2026well, really.<\/p>\n

8 Loads more Pre apps on the way<\/strong><\/p>\n

Only a complete dullard will have failed to notice the paradigm shift in mobile phone<\/a> industry business models and consumer habits that has made the Apple App Store such a hit. Palm was certainly taking notes and is soon to launch a natty development kit that ought to clear the way for a slew of great applications arriving on the Pre soon.<\/p>\n

9 Impressive web browsing and connectivity<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Pre\u2019s built in browser and HSDPA support makes for a supremely fast and wholly pleasurable mobile internet experience. Meanwhile, support for A2DP, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.1 means that the Pre is one of the best connected phones around.<\/p>\n

10 It\u2019s cheaper<\/strong><\/p>\n

The cheapest iPhone 3G S contract that offers the handset for free is \u00a345 per month. The Pre, meanwhile, is gratis from \u00a335 per month. That\u2019s \u00a3120 per year extra to spend on apps.<\/p>\n
