Configuring settings
The Palm Pre's useful comprehensive help and a reasonably intuitive interface means setting up web and PC connections and your email is easier than on many smartphones.
HELP: The Palm Pre includes a searchable help app that provides tips and instructions on using the device, helpful for learning new gestures
QUIET: One minor issue with the Palm Pre is that ringtone volume is not that loud compared to the iPhone or most Nokia and Samsung phones
SCREEN VIEW: You can adjust brightness and change how the screen locks on the Palm Pre
DEVICE INFO: Device info is fairly sparse, showing you the current OS version and a few salient details – such as battery life remaining
WIRELESS NETWORKING: You can attach to both open Wi-Fi networks and those with a passcode, but only over 802.11g – not 802.11n
BLUETOOTH: The Palm Pre support the latest version of Bluetooth for listening in stereo and using Bluetooth-enabled headsets
GEOTAGGING: One surprise is that you can configure the Palm Pre so it adds geotagging data to the photos you take
DATE AND TIME: There are a few options available for configuring the current date and time
UPDATES: This is where you will check to see if there is an update available for the Palm Pre webOS software
BACKUP: Palm offers a back-up utility that works with your PC for storing all pertinent data offline in the event that the device stops working or you lose it
LANGUAGES: There are only two languages supported at launch – English and Spanish
