We don't yet know what's new here, but GSM-flavored Pres are starting to get hooked up with webOS version 1.3.5.2 this evening -- a whopping 0.0.0.1 more than the latest and greatest build floating around North America. So what do you get out of the update, exactly? Against 1.3.1, a whole bunch, actually, including a revamped App Catalog with support for multiple simultaneous downloads, speed improvements, better support for prepaid SIMs, OTA update support on 2G networks, and a whole lot more. Hit up Palm for the full changelog -- or do what we do, kick off the download now, and just experience the new build for yourself.
Removing the app restriction was the biggest deal for me. It's like the App Cat is brand new as I've been barred from using it for so long. I'm in the US, btw. Just sharing what the article didn't mention.
@ColonelKernel Is the gsm version 3G? If so, AT&T or Tmo? Where can I pick up an unlocked one?
Installation of the update took about 30 minutes to complete, so plan accordingly.
@petvas
True, I can confirm this it take a hell of a time to update. Probably they have overhauled allot of intricate internals of the OS.
plus palm has unlocked the coveted bluetooth tethering!!
So...
can I run this on my Sprint Pre? Euros have been able to run Sprint FW on theirs for a while now.
after a day with the new update I can say that my Pre is definitely running faster. Apps open faster and especially the calendar and phone application have received most optimization. The web browser has also been greatly improved. It is faster, scrolls much smoother and is more accurate when clicking on small links. Battery life seems to be the same as before. Overall I am extremely happy with the new update :)
