If the thought of all the Pre shortages is getting you anxious, take a few moments to calm down with some more leaked hands-on photos and video.  Another pre has shown up in the wild, and Doc31 of the PreCentral forums had the chance for a quick play. 

The Pre in question was locked to the set-up display, so Doc31 couldn’t play with the full OS, but he’s certainly come away impressed:

“This thing feels GREAT. SOLID but kind of organic, its kind of hard to explain but it feels GREAT … Very simple the best slider I have ever felt. When open its like a expensive knife when the handle is balanced with the blade, or maybe its just because it rest in my palm well … everything seemed responsive, but I wouldn’t say fast. iphone speed at least … the OS as a whole looks amazing. It just feels fresh and new and I promise a lot of people will be impressed with just the call screen alone. The speakerphone and earpiece are very very clear. Much better then my diamond or any treo in the past” Doc 31

As for the contents of the set-up screen, that prompts you to create a Palm Profile which requires a working email address.  It’s the Palm Profile which allows access to services like automatic backup; think of it as the equivalent of having an iTunes profile on the iPhone, or a GMail account on Google Android devices.  If it’s all too confusing for you, there’s a shortcut to call Sprint customer services right from the set-up pages.
