Time flies! Both my husband and I have been continuing to use the Palm Pre Plus on Verizon now for 4 weeks.  And lucky me, they just released a new software version. Normally that’s nothing to write home about but in this case it is – it’s a big deal.  I now have video recording on my Palm Pre cell phone.  It can’t compare to my Flip HD , but it is great for capturing those impromptu moments that the little ones are always delivering.

Equally exciting, the upgrade supposedly has the capability to run Flash (think all sorts of game and videos on the Web) that should be enabled in the near future.

After using is is for a few extra weeks, I must say that these 5 features really made both my husband and I like it – besides the sneaky mirror of course!

  • The Palm Pre Plus size is perfectly “pocket-able” – smaller than my iPhone, seriously the size of my blush & compact.
  • Having multiple apps run concurrently.My pooled messages – voice-mail, texts, and emails – all pushed to me even when the phone is locked. It’s weird, but they feel like they’re almost hand delivered.
  • Video Capability.
  • Flash on the camera (both my husband and I found ourselves taking tons of pictures with it – remember that awesome Disney Fireworks  photo?)
  • Slide Out Keyboard – makes the phone smaller overall which is  a bonus

It’s definitely earned its way into my crazy life – and hopefully it will continue to make all that multi-tasking a little easier!

Want to win $50? Tell me more! Which feature of my Palm Pre Plus do you like best or think would make your life easier compared to your current cell phone? Let me know by March 15, 2010 to enter. Please include your email address so we can contact you if you win. Thanks!

Disclosure: Verizon sponsored this post and provided 2 months of Verizon phone service and the Palm Pre to enable me to review the phone & service.

    The flash would definitely be my favorite feature…my phone takes horrible pictures and with 2 grandbabies & 3 Bengal Cats I take a lot of pictures so that would be awesome. Thanks so much for the offer.

  11. Nicolle B. says:

    I really like the video recording capability. My current phone does not have that. I have two young children and am often wishing I could have captured some funny moments on camera and have not been able to with my current phone.

  16. Kat Emerick says:

    I have a plain phone ( no picture options) and I would love one of these so I can take fast pictures of the grandkids! Thanks for a nice giveaway!

    the first thing that is good about your phone is that it is small, handy, and useful. though it’s size is not as big as other phones it can run several applications concurrently.

    To me, the small size is the best feature. After carrying around a diaper bag for years, it’s SOOOOO nice to be able to carry around things JUST for me. So I always have a very small purse, and it would be great to have essentials be small, too!
