I have long been a Palm user. My current phone is a Palm 750wx and for some reason I feel a little out of loop when it comes to being “hip” and mobile productive. Palm has been beaten to death lately by other mobile handsets but looks like Palm is back in the game with its latest phone Palm Pre. Palm unveiled their latest product at the CES and I have to say, it certainly seems like the mobile phone for the next generation.

Here are some of the specifications (via treocentral) followed by images,

  • Slide-out portrait QWERTY keyboard (banana slider)
