On June 6th, 2009, Sprint began selling the Palm Pre – the latest smart phone from Palm. The guys from EETimes take a look at the latest phone by taking it apart and seeing what’s inside. For all those interested in what ICs make up their mobile phones. See how it compares to Apple’s iPhone

Whether you got up at the crack of dawn and got in line to be first or you chanced it and arrived at one of the Sprint, Radio Shack, Best Buy, or Walmart stores at opening, I hope your new wonder device does not look like this.

The guys at Rapid Repair have done the unthinkable and dissected the Palm Pre in order to value the guts of the device.  The Pre seems to be a bit easier to disassemble then the iPhone but comes in at just about the same value for the components at $170.

Reports are coming in from today’s nationwide release and everything seems to be pretty smooth.  Let us know how your experience was.  I’d love to hear from somebody that has also endured the iPhone launch lines as well.
