Palm Pre introduced an intuitive interface of “cards” which greatly reduces the effort in multitask environment – and a break from iPhone 3GS old icon based interface. The LED flash in Palm Pre is a big advantage over iPhone 3GS if you are fond of photography. The memory storage is an area where iPhone 3GS nails Palm pre as the former offers 16/32 GB while latter disappointedly offers only 8GB of space. Apart from LED iPhone 3GS offers better camera quality of 3.2 megapixels compared to 3 megapixels of Palm Pre. iPhone 3GS users know the difficulty of writing long messages using virtual keyboard, on the other hand Palm Pre offers an amazing physical Qwerty keyboard.

Where iPhone 3G is better than iPhone 3GS

In the ordinary room light, iPhone 2G camera has better resolution and comparitivly less noise than iPhone 3GS.

Resolution and noise cannot be corrected in post processing while colors modification software are in abundance. The iphone 3GS has good color capturing skill but as I said earlier color composition can be tackled through software.

With an improved resolution of 3 megapixel camera as compared to iPhone 3G having only 2 megapixel, the noise in the pictures is an utter dissatisfaction.
