ken218ken218

Pre3 is finally released, for £299.00 Sim Free. 1.4GHz Single core processor + 512MB RAM, 5MP camera. The battery is quite small though... wonder what the stand-by time is going to be like. I guess this could be useful for some guys.

Processor: Qualcomm MSM 8x55 (1.4 GHz)
Camera: 5-megapixel auto-focus camera with LED flash, HD (up to 720p) video recording, front VGA6,8
Memory: 512MB RAM; 8GB internal storage

Width: 64mm (2.52 inches)
Height: 111mm (4.37 inches)

Weight: 156 grams (5.5 ounces)

This phone has a MSM8655T chip which is a SINGLE core processor.

sorry, made a mistake on the processor, the rumor before the release was that it'd get a dual core processor, thus I didn't verify the spec and assumed its true. Sorry for the confusions caused.

    There is no chance that this will get hot as people will vote for the product and not the price


    I know :D but I guess it might still be useful for some people.

    To be fair, Pre3 doesn't do twice as much compare to the Pre2 (currently selling for under £150), while it cost twice as much... But before the big price drop, Pre2 was selling for over £300...

    Very good price for a newly released handset. Pre's are very good phones but problem always been and still is apps, i'd even say Blackberry has that issue as most useful apps are for andriod or iphone with Blackberry in 3rd

    Which leave Webos in 4th and therein lies the issue, HP need to address that fast as i'd buy one just for the webos if i could see a future for the operating system.

    4th - you've got to be kdding
    The best user interfaces are android, ios and wm7. Qnx is the best outsider.
    The order for apps is ios, android, bb, WM7, qnx (playbook).
    Palm is a distant 6th, if that

    I wish hp the best of luck. It needs a lot

    Lol, are you kidding, have you even tried a webOS product?

    Aside from the hardware, the actual OS itself, coupled with gestures, synergy, multitasking, is by far the best mobile OS available, it's even better than iOS.

    HP needs better hardware, better polished software and applications, and a major marketing push.

    Nokia + webOS would have been perfect!

    Agreed. The Nokia N9 looks beautiful, actually tempted to pick one up when it goes on sale. Coupled with webOS though, killer.

    As a Plam Pre owner for 2 years, I'll be steering well clear of this phone. I've had nothing but problem after problem, like many other users, with software updates, shoddy hardware, and bad customer service. I've no doubt HP will pull these things off a lot better, because WebOS is actually a great OS, the card system is probably the best I've seen.

    Still voted hot, good price.

    I'm still curious why would anyone choose this over Android (or iOS)?... hmmm...

    RRP deal again?

    Looking around for a new phone at the moment and i've seen this cheaper at play.com. Acer e210 for £119 looks a better deal to me

    Ouch - £300. When it goes a maximum of £150, you may as well just do the contract route - no?

    Great phone if you don't care about any of the apps you've been using the last few years.

    No SD card slot = safer and more robust just like apple

    I've used both Android(Moto Milestone) and iOS(iphone 3G) and preferred WebOS over both, far more intuitive and way ahead when coping with mulit-tasking.

    Mind you I own a Nokia E7 now and like that the best of the lot even with Symbian ^3, agree that Nokia with WebOS would be a match made in heaven.
