Your HP Pre3

NOTE When referring to the company that makes your HP Pre3, this document uses both the terms HP and Palm. HP and Palm are the same company; the use of both terms reflects company terminology.

In one compact and indispensable device, you now have all of the following:

•An advanced wireless smartphone running the HP webOS platform

•A full suite of organiser applications: Contacts, Calendar, Memos and Tasks

•High-speed data transfer with 3G (UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA) and GPRS/ EDGE support

•Wi-Fi capability

•A 5-megapixel digital camera

•GPS functionality

•Integrated text, multimedia and instant messaging (IM)

•Applications to view and manage Microsoft Office and Adobe PDF files

•HP webOS App Catalog, from which you can download applications designed for your smartphone; select from an ever-expanding list of applications

Your HP Pre3 puts HP webOS—a multitasking, gesture-based operating system—inside a small, beautiful device with a keyboard that you can slide out whenever you need it. Here are a few highlights of your new smartphone.

Gestures: On your HP Pre3, you make calls, move around and manage your applications and info by making simple gestures either on the touchscreen or in the gesture area directly beneath the screen. For more information, see Use gestures: tap, swipe, drag, flick, pinch. Carry the Gesture Guide (included in the box with your HP Pre3) around with you and you'll soon know all the gestures by heart.

Multitasking: You can have many applications open at once and easily move among them. Go to the Launcher to open apps. See the line-up of your open apps in Card view. Tap an app to bring it into the foreground and work with it. For more information, see Open applications. You can also send email or surf the web while on a call.

Just Type: Need to call Ed? Just slide out the keyboard and type ed. If he's listed in your Contacts, you can get his numbers from the search results. Tap a number and you've made the call. Just Type works just as fast when you need to search the web, find info in an application on your smartphone, start an action such as creating an email message or memo or update your status on social networking sites such as Facebook or Twitter. For more information, see Just Type.

The HP Synergy feature: The HP Synergy feature works in the background to gather your information from the various online sources where you keep it and then display that information in a single view on your smartphone. You can access your info quickly without having to remember where you stored it.
