iPhone 3GS vs Palm Pre vs Nokia N97 vs Samsung i8910 HD vs HTC Hero vs Sony Ericsson Satio

The Palm Pre got the fanboys queuing overnight when it was released in the US a few weeks ago, but we've yet to see it in UK shops. Nevertheless, we judged the US version of the Pre a worthy rival to the iPhone 3G.

Card shark
The Pre packs a surprise: a full Qwerty keyboard, albeit a tiny one, slides out of the bottom. You can also run numerous apps at the same time, and there's an elegant 'deck of cards' interface to help you switch between them. Happily, the phone remains responsive with up to 12 apps running at once.

Room to grow
There aren't many apps available for the Pre yet, and, since this is the first phone to use the webOS operating system, you're going to be living with all the bugs that haven't been squashed yet. Also, the UK price is still to be determined, but it's bound to be epic.

Why not make a cup of your favourite hot beverage and read our Palm Pre (US version) review? Over the page, the N97 is greasy and waiting.
