BGR has posted first impressions and few photos of soon to be released Palm Pre. The website has been playing with the device for few days, but they aren’t allowed to post the full review (NDA) until the release date. According to BGR:

“The Pre feels really good in your hand in terms of size and shape, but there’s a real plasticky aura about it. Additionally, things aren’t looking good for that QWERTY either. When you try and type on the top row of keys, your finger hits the bottom part of the front piece and on top of that, you often hit multiple keys at the same time while typing. It’s actually really frustrating and doesn’t bode well for such a fantastic social communication/personal/business tool. The screen is really responsive and blends right in with the casing – awesomely executed and the capacitive touch is so damn beautiful. We’d rate it just behind the iPhone but in front of the T-Mobile G1 as far as screens go.”

You can check out more images of Pre on BGR’s website. Additionally, PalmPreForum.org have posted videos showcasing various Palm Pre applications via an emulator. The videos show Memos, Contacts, Browser, Conference call, Google Maps, E-mail, Phone, Universal search, Calendar and many other applications in action. The embedded video below plays all the videos of Palm Pre in action.
