The Palm Pre is a real game changer.

There, I’ve said it.    And I mean it.

The Pre is a really great device.  The screen looks like bright paper.  The battery is a champ.  The touch interface is very well thought out.  The hardware is smooth and sleek.  The charging system is super cool.

Oh, and did I mention it seamlessly integrates Facebook, Gmail and Exchange out of the box?

Check out tnkgrl’s video from CTIA 09,filmed and later uploaded with the newest version of Qik. This video is 35 minutes long, so be prepared. Make sure you check out tnkgrl Mobile for *a bunch* more CTIA videos, photos and more!

Of course to have a balanced article, I’m supposed to point out the flaws.  No homebrew software, apparently.  No expandable memory.  Tied to Sprint’s CDMA network in the US.  The cool charging stone costs extra.  But that’s about it.

Legal disclaimer : After reading such high praise from Serko over at MobileDivide, I bought some palm stock.  Me and Jimmy Fallon are getting rich, suckas!

Extra special thanks to Sprint for including bloggers in the agenda for the launch of the Pre. The Sprint Pre lounge was arguably the most comfortable place to chill at CTIA. It was off the beaten path, and they had yummy yogurt and granola. Proper!
