Palm Pre 3 Quietly Launched Via HP's Own Site
The HP Palm Pre 3 is the latest webOS smartphone from HP and Palm and features an impressive array of specs. It has a speedy 1.4GHz Qualcomm MSM8255 Snapdragon processor, 3.6-inch 480 x 800 resolution touchscreen, a full slide-out QWERTY keyboard, a 5 megapixel camera which can record HD video at 720p plus 3G, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity.
- (1888PressRelease) August 20, 2011 - It was earlier this week when a support page for the then-absent Palm Pre 3 smartphone appeared on Orange's website, prompting us to speculate the phone was at least nearing release. After all, it was announced back in February.
Now, to almost no fanfare whatsoever, the Pre 3 has gone up for sale through HP/Palm themselves here in Europe, although there's still no indication when it's set for its US debut. It's not just a pre-order page either, as the phone is listed as shipping in one to two days and will set you back £299.
That's not a bad price for an unlocked, contract-free smartphone of the Pre's quality either. The official page also puts us straight on the rumour that the phone would be using a 1.2GHz processor, as the spec clearly states a 1.4GHz Qualcomm MSM8x55 will live inside, backed up by 512MB RAM.
This is the third major smartphone release from Palm in as many years, and the third to be treated to an almost silent release in Europe, this time without even any headline launch in the USA! Anyone would think they don't want the device to sell, and would prefer them to stack up in warehouses around the continent. Someone needs to remind Palm/HP that the announcement event is only part one of the operation, as you really need to tell consumers when it's out to buy - especially after six months have passed!
