Thumbnail image for O2 launch the Palm Pre: We go to the party…

It’s nice to get out and about so the Really Mobile team jumped at the chance to attend O2′s glamourous launch party form the Palm Pre, which goes on sale today. Surrounded by the Shoreditch-glitterati (who we blended into seamlessly) we got our first un-restricted hands-on with a GSM Pre and did a bit of [...]

Palm Pre launch party [There ain't no party like an O2 party... Hey... Ho... etc]

by Ben Smith 14th October 2009

The Really Mobile Team recently attended the Palm Pre launch party - thanks to JP at O2 who really pulled the stops out for us. These events confuse me - very few people talking much about the device or the launch, but free drinks and an expensive line-up of bands. I’m not complaining, but that [...]

While in the US recently, I caught some of the TV advertising for the Palm Pre, which is somehow like a surreal Tango advert. This is the latest part of Palm’s buzz creation for their device and so far they’ve been quite skilful at creating customer approval and expectation. Back in March at the Mobile [...]

Read my Palm: A Random Encounter

by James Whatley 20th July 2009

Greetings from Wyoming! I’m currently on part two of the five part Lucozade Energy Challenge social media gig and as you might’ve guessed from my last post, I’m having an awesome time. On the way here I had to fly via Chicago; an amazing city (from what I saw of it coming into land) and [...]

AudioBoo: Palm Pre and O2 "The Smartphone Network?"

by Ben Smith 10th July 2009

With the first European launch announcement for the Palm Pre on Telefónica’s UK network O2 are they becoming the ‘network for smartphones’? Much of the progress impresses, but I think there’s a few crucial things left to do before O2 (at least) can truly claim that crown. Listen on the AudioBoo site (mobile friendly) [ [...]
