Finally we have some hands-on info on the new Palm Pre courtesy of a Palm Pre forum member who gained some early hands-on time with the new smartphone.

The review says the Palm Pre feels great and solid but is kind of organic? The images of the screen blend well and you don’t tell the difference when touching the phone or screen. The slider mechanism is very simple and well balanced.

The keyboard wasn’t a problem and the webOS seemed responsive although he wouldn’t say it was fast. Anyway the reviewer managed to make an extremely short video of their time with the Palm pre which you can view below.
