T3 grabs a Palm Pre directly from the US for your viewing pleasure

T3.com embarked on a pilgrimage to the United States last week to nab the Palm Pre - the gadget we dubbed the hottest on the planet in this year's Hot 100 countdown.

 

With a UK release date still to be confirmed, we just couldn't wait any longer and jumped across the Atlantic to pick up a handset on release day, to see if the most talked about phone of 2009 could live up to all the hype.

 

You can see from our Palm Pre review that the new phone, with its revolutionary new webOS and brilliant touchscreen is going to give all the other smartphone contenders, including the new iPhone 3G S, a serious run for its money.

 

Watch our hands-on video to see the features that'll have rivals Apple, BlackBerry, Nokia and HTC hoping that the only handset that arrives on UK shores is the one T3 put to the test.

 

In our extensive video report we showcase the Pre's brilliant multitasking capacity, the intuitive search and synchonising functionality that is sure to make the phone a massive hit when it eventually arrives here. Also, find out our verdict on the phone's touchscreen, 3.2-megapixel camera and the slide-out qwerty keyboard housed beneath the screen.
