Introducing Palm® Pre™, a phone so in sync with your life it feels like it's thinking ahead for you. Pre pulls your different online calendars into one view, bringing you the information you want without having to search for it. Pre links your contacts from different sources, giving you one place to find what you need. And Pre delivers incoming messages and notifications in an intuitively subtle way, letting you react or respond however you want.1 People, events, information that matters. With Palm Pre, it'll come to you.

Layered calendars and linked contacts

Pre uses the Palm® Synergy™ feature to bring your Microsoft® Office Outlook®, Google™, Yahoo!, and Facebook® calendars together for one logical view of your day. And if you have contacts stored in those places or on LinkedIn®, Pre can pull in each person's information and combine it under one entry, making it easier to find what you need.2

Activity cards

Keep multiple applications open and move easily between them—email, maps, photos, websites, whatever. Pre thinks of your applications as activity cards, and lets you flip through them, move them around, or throw them away off screen.3

Intuitive notifications

Things like text messages and calendar appointments appear as notifications at the bottom of the screen. You'll know what's going on without being completely interrupted or losing your train of thought.1

Combined messaging

Thanks to Palm Synergy, your conversations with the same person are grouped together in one chat-style view. Which means even if it started in IM, for example, you can reply with text. You can also see who's online right from Contacts, and start a new conversation with just one touch.1

Universal search

Simply start typing to begin searching your contacts and applications. Pre begins with contacts and apps on the phone, and then offers to search Google, Google Mapsâ„¢, Wikipedia, or Twitter. With a fast browser at 3G speeds, you'll find what you're looking for in no time.4
