The Best Phone I've Ever Used

Posted: Jun 03, 2012, 1:46 AM

Phone owned for less than a month

It's a real shame that this gem never actually made it to market. The Pre 3 is one of the best smartphones I've ever used, putting it within the league of the iPhone 4 and some of 2011's top Android phones. I really don't have any doubt that if HP had given more attention to marketing webOS and their Pre line, this phone would have been a huge success. WebOS is as intuitive as ever on this guy, probably because it's aided by a 1.4 Ghz Snapdragon. The screen is absolutely gorgeous, and viewing angles are as good as any Super AMOLED screen out today. The Pre keyboard is fantastic, if not a bit cramped. The camera is nothing great, but nothing to scoff at either. I've got the AT&T version that was never released, and though I go through a ton of phones, I plan on keeping this one. I highly recommend it!
