Palm's new Pre Smartphone offers Palm Synergy, allowing for linked contacts, layered calendars and combined messaging, meaning everything you need is searchable in one place in a single view. The new Web OS lets you keep multiple activities open and move easily between them like flipping through a deck of cards. Switch between text messaging and e-mail, or search the web while you listen to music. You can rearrange items simply by dragging them, and when you are done with something, just throw it away by flicking it off the top of the screen.
$199.99 with a two-year service agreement and after a $100 mail-in rebate.
