Despite embracing the same general design as the Pre handsets before it, the HP Pre 3 is being billed as a "business-class phone." We're not exactly sure about that marketing angle, but it is quite the serious performer.
Bigger than its namesake predecessors, the new phone measures 4.37 x 2.52 x 0.63 inches and weighs 5.5 ounces. It should be quite the workhorse, too, packing a 1.4-GHz processor, 512MB of RAM and a full slide-out QWERTY keyboard -- a good fit for professionals who could use both the beefy multi-tasking power and the productivity afforded by physical keys.
Details of the HP Pre 3 include a 3.5-inch capacitive touchscreen (480 x 800 resolution), a 5.0 megapixel camera module with LED flash (capable of 720p videos), a front-facing VGA webcam, support for the HSPA+ network, WiFi (with mobile hotspot functionality), stereo Bluetooth and a choice of storage capacities (8GB or 16GB). Juice is drawn from a removable 1230 mAh battery module.
It's running the latest version of webOS, which comes with all the smartphone niceties you expect, along with integrated support for Flash 10.1. The device also features one-touch contact syncing with the upcoming HP Touchpad tablet.
Availability for the HP Pre 3 is slated for the summer, with no word on carrier or pricing details.
