The folks over at BGR (The Boy Genius Report) claim to have the first hands-on of the long-awaited Palm Pre, and they are giddy about it!  Although they promise a full review forthwith, their first impressions are a mixed bag.

According to BGR, although the Pre feels good in the hand, it has a “plasticky” feel.  They are also rather nonplussed about the QWERTY keyboard, particularly the top row of keys, claiming it’s difficult to avoid smashing multiple keys at the same time.  On a positive note, they rave about the quality and responsiveness of the capacitive touch screen.  Stay tuned here for more and more Pre news to come!
