While I wish that everyone could win, because it’s really just such a GREAT phone, I was only given one phone to give away… :( The lucky winner is Deanna! who posted..

“Wow, I am so excited! I am already following you on twitter and am now a fan on facebook!

Here’s my tweet: http://twitter.com/deegibbons/status/9831543491

What I am really excited about with the Palm Pre Plus is Everything! Okay, if I had to pick just one, I would say email. I really love the idea of having all my email (4 addresses) integrated so that I can get all of it on my phone!”

Congrats and check your inbox for more details.  :)

Another feature that has been improved is the phone.  Now when you go into the call log there are several options for you to choose from such as a call history for that specific number and the ability to text, call, add to contacts, or view their contact card.  It is so much more useful than it used to be.

The last feature that I was super excited for is the ability to dial a phone number from a text message!  That was really starting to bug me.  Also you can email a text!

All in all I’m very happy with the new updates.  It does seem slightly slower than it used to be, but I’m sure they’ll fix that soon.  They have been churning out the updates like champs!!

If you have any questions about the Palm Pre (or any tech for that matter) just send me a tweet about it twitter.com/tech4mommies or you can comment right here on the post and I’ll answer them as soon as I can! 

Don’t forget to enter the giveaway for your very own Palm Pre Plus! (also I just wrote this post entirely on my Pre while my daughter is at gymnastics! Go mobile!)
