After touring North American countries like the US and Canada and European countries like the UK, Ireland, Germany and Spain, the Palm Pre will finally hit the Mexican stores in a short while. The QWERTY phone is driven by Palm webOS software that makes the device more intuitive.
The Pre boasts of a large 3.1-inch touchscreen HVGA display that offers 320 x 480 resolution. The handset is inclusive of Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR with A2DP stereo Bluetooth support, MicroUSB connector with USB 2.0 Hi-Speed, and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g. It is equipped with a proximity sensor that automatically disables the touchscreen and turns off the display when the handset is placed near the ear.
“With the introduction of Palm Pre with Telcel in Mexico, we’re expanding the Palm webOS footprint into Latin America for the first time. We’re steadily increasing momentum for Palm webOS as we continue to roll out products with new carriers and countries,” mentioned Dave Whalen, senior vice president, Global Sales, Palm, Inc.
The Palm Pre measures 59.57mm x 100.53mm x 16.95mm and it weighs around 135 grams. Owing to the device’s accelerometer, web pages and photos are oriented according to the user’s view. By means of the Palm Synergy, a single view offering links of the user’s contacts and calendars from Outlook, Google, Facebook and LinkedIn is presented.
Palm Pre will be made available in Mexico beginning November 27 on Telcel’s More for Less Unlimited Internet Plans.
