Palm Pre Basics
Part two of twelve: Initial setup
Jay Goldman: Hi I'm Jay Goldman the host of Mr. Mobile. Today we're going to take a look at the Palm Pre initial setup. When you turn your Pre on for the first time it will walk you through a setup process that configures the phone. Because this Pre comes from Canada, we're presented a choice between English and French as our first step. The Pre setup process walks you through a number of different options that helps you to configure the phone for use later. Setting up a Palm profile allows you to crate an account with Palm which will back up all of the information on your Palm Pre and easily allow you to restore that to a different Pre if you lose this one or purchase a new one.
Access the keyboard by sliding the Pre open. And then you can type directly into the fields. Location services use the GPS built into the phone to give the phone and the applications running on it the ability to locate you. It's probably a good idea to give access to the location services if you're planning on using different applications on the phone which would take advantage of it. Auto locate allows you to configure the phone not to promote you each time an application wants access to your location settings. If you're going to use a lot of applications which do need access and you don't want to be prompted all the time, use the enable auto locate button here to turn it on.
The alternative is to be prompted each time. This little video that plays here is actually a clever way to walk you through a bunch of different features within the phone while it's going and setting up some of the things in the background. So we're now prompted to go ahead and try the back gesture. And I'll walk through a bunch of the different applications that come with the phone. Note that with your Pre a gesture guide, which walks you through a number of the gestures that are available is worth taking a look at as you get to know your new device.
This video is also available inside of the videos application if you'd like to watch it again at a later time. Thanks for watching our episode about setting up the Palm Pre. Stay tuned for the rest of our series to learn more about your new device.
