The Pre Plus will be similar to its Verizon counterpart (16GB of storage, GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth 2.1), and the Pixi should look awfully familiar as well (8GB storage, WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth 2.1), though AT&T will be offering a variation with a blue back plate (in addition to the standard black and other swappable covers)
Palm Pre Plus and Palm Pixi Plus will be available in AT&T stores and online at www.wireless.att.com in the coming months for $149.99 and $49.99, respectively, with a two-year service agreement and after a $100 mail-in rebate.
The Pre plus is basically a upgrade from the Pre on sprint.
Here are the minor changes:
The home button on the front is removed on the Pre Plus. Insted of taping the button on the original Pre you would just tap the slide area below the screen.
Sliding mechanism is enhanced
keyboard tweaked
The major changes:
The Pre Plus has 16GB of internal storage versus 8GB on the original Pre.
Touchstone charger capability right out the box.
Bluetooth
The Verdict:
Warning: Not for the business man who types emails alot. This phone has a incredibly small keyboard.With the minor upgrade changes on this device the major change is the network change. Verizon 3g Speeds are amazing. The 16gb of internal memory makes the device more of a media device to watch videos and download tons of apps on. Also an expected upgrade is comming sometime in Febuary to include video recording and more..
Stay tuned.
