French carrier SFR may have gotten a little ahead of themselves recently when they posted specs for the Palm Pre 2. The images they used appear to be stock shots from the original Pre, but the specs are in line with what rumors have previously indicated. According to SFR, the Pre 2 will pack a 1GHz CPU (probably an OMAP3630) and 512MB of RAM. The phone will be running on WebOS 2.0 as well.
It's now been about a year since Palm launched the Pixi, a low end companion to the Pre. Since then Palm has fallen off its game and was bought by HP, which intends to use WebOS on printers. We can only hope that the rumors of a new Palm phone are true. With these rumored specs, WebOS could finally get the horsepower is deserves. The problem, will users care when Palm releases another phone, or will they have already moved on? What do you think? Real specs or not?

I really liked the form factor of the Pre. I've been using a basic flip phone for 5 years now and have gotten spoiled with having a small form factor phone. It seems like everyone else is pushing for larger screens, which is nice for those who use them as mini-computers, but I don't want to lug around something twice the size of my wallet.
Either way, I can't stomach the cost of the data plan. So I'll just keep on making due with a phone that...makes calls, doesn't need to be charged every day, and can be dropped without exploding.

I was a Palm Pre early-adopter - picked one up on day one. I moved on after a year when my 1-year contract was up. There were no usable/useful apps on it. In a sense, the WebOS eco-system just lacked that something. It was just a poorly executed product - where software, app, and hardware didn't seem to work in harmony. I felt like I was using an incomplete package after having used an iPhone previously. I'm keeping an eye on Windows Mobile 7 at the moment.
