A smartphone equipped with a multi touch screen and sliding
QWERTY keyboard, the Palm Pre was exclusively available on the O2
network in the UK. It's successor, the Pre 3, was
released in the UK on August 17th 2011 - the day before HP
announced it was ceasing production on all WebOS devices. Though
currently still available, the Pre will soon be no more, and DI
Lestrade will no doubt be upgrading.
