PreThinking reports that Palm has just unleashed a second revision of the Pre’s hardware:
…
I took 20 people that bought a Palm Pre in the last 15 days and found some interesting things. These Pres were manufactured between 7/1 and 7/29 and are in the “sunset” box.
…
In specific, the following issues are said to be addressed:
- Screen cracking
- Keyboard-movement induced resets
- “Roteo” effect
As of now, no new information is available. However, Palm is known for changing its hardware platform silently during a model’s production run (the Treo 600 went through more than 5 revisions AFAIK) – and as long as it’s for the better, I don’t see anyone complaining

I’m complaining. I just bought the Pre about a month ago and they already released a version that fixes *known* issues. They should be upgrading everyone for free, I bought a phone that breaks easier than this version hmmm… Class Action?
“Roteo” effect? What is this? Googling leads back to TamsPalm, or to Leica.
Hi Folks,
thank you all for talking back!
a) Roteo effect: when the Pre’s slider breaks and the screen wobbles around.
b) As for the class action: the moment your handset breaks, you are likely to receive a new revision anyways!
All the best
