The enhancements in WebOS 2.0 make the Palm Pre 2 a very capable smartphone. ... It reminded us how much we love the mobile operating system for its multitasking abilities, data management, and search functionality, and the new enhancements only make it better.

HP has big plans for WebOS, but the Palm Pre 2 feels like a throwback to 2010. It's fun, but far from cutting edge.
Read the full review →Hats off to Palm for carving a place for itself in the crowded smart phone market, with its brace of handsets that manage to combine cute good looks with powerful smarts and a uniquely different OS.
Read the full review →Overall, this is a nice, slick little smartphone that performs well, and offers a number of unique features (such as gesture control and Synergy) that first got us excited by the Palm Pre back in 2009. The only trouble is, the excitement surrounding these features has somewhat worn off.
Read the full review →While the software of the Palm Pre 2 is on a par with anything else out there, the hardware still doesn't do it justice. ... It is generally easy to use but its small screen, lack of onscreen keyboard, small physical keyboard and poor camera means it trails the competition by some way.
Read the full review →At this point, the Palm Pre feels like an old friend you'd lost touch with. You're a bit surprised he dresses the same as when you last knew him, but when you get talking you remember what an awesome time you had together.

The build quality of the phone is not good. I am regretted to buy this phone. I should buy this unless you have tight budget.

I really like this phone! HP webOS 2.01 is super. Having come from the iPhone and iPhone 3GS I know for a fact this phone OS is best. Best part is the notification system. Worst part is the battery life. I get around the battery life with two very small portable USB batteries and they work great....

Ergonomically designed with a very usable interface. The swipe gestures and multi tasking is nice to use. A better camera would have been great. The hp app catalog restrictions are a pain too. On a positive note, the third party developers network is insanely good. And did I forget, the...

WebOS is possibly the most underrated OS going. I hope HP can fix this before it goes the way of BetaMax and 8 tracks.

Great touches. (Mirror on back, wireless charging) webOS is great and all (best-in-class notifications, multitasking, definitely not as bad as most people make it out to be.), but has some slowness and bugs, and suffers from lack of app selection. The Pre 2 is a solid phone, not going to blow...

The hardware isn't incredible but it's fine compared to other phones. It's fat, slightly heavier than others, has a small keyboard and screen and at time feels a bit flimsy. But it gets the job done and I really don't think it's that bad. The gesture area on the Pre 2 should be legally...
