[ale] Palm Pre

[Robert Coggins]

The keypad isn't so bad.  I saw the bad reviews, but I am a big guy with 
some good sized hands and i don't have issues typing on it.  I actually 
like the rubbered buttons.  The slide out function seems a little loose 
but ok.  The best part of the hardware is the screen.  The picture is 
beautiful and when turned to the side it is like the picture is popped 
up on top of the screen like it was a nicely printed paper.
