operating system, the Palm

device with a keyboard that you can slide out whenever you need it. Here
are a few highlights of your new phone.
Gestures:
On your Pre 2 phone, you make calls, move around, and manage
your applications and info by making simple gestures either on the
touchscreen or in the gesture area directly beneath the screen. For more
information, see
Use gestures: tap, swipe, drag, flick,
Gesture Guide (included in the box with your Pre 2 phone) around with you
and you'll soon know all the gestures by heart.
Multitasking:
You can have many applications open at once and easily
move among them. Go to the Launcher to open apps. See the lineup of your
open apps in Card view. Tap an app to bring it into the foreground and work
with it. For more information, see
email or surf the web while on a call.
Just Type:
Need to call Ed? Just slide out the keyboard and type ed. If he's
listed in your Contacts, you can get his numbers from the search results. Tap

background to gather your information from the various online sources
where you keep it and then display that information in a single view on your
phone. You can access your info quickly without having to remember where
you stored it.
For example, suppose you have a Google account for personal email,
contacts, and calendar events, and an Exchange account for your corporate
email, contacts, and events. The Email, Contacts, and Calendar applications
on your Pre 2 phone all provide a kind of view in which you can see
information from both of those accounts in one place—but even though the
information is brought into one view, the sources of that information are
kept separate. For more information, read about linked contacts, layered
calendars, and the single inbox for your email in Contacts, Calendar, and
Email.

list of online accounts that you can set up on your phone and for information about
the behavior of these accounts.
Thanks also to the Synergy feature, in the Messaging application, all your
conversations with the same person are grouped together in one chat-style
view. If you start an IM chat with Ed, for example, you can continue the
same conversation when Ed signs out of IM by sending him a text
message—and you can see it all in the same view. For more information,
see Messaging.
Sync:
Your Pre 2 phone gives you synchronization without a cable. You can
sync with online services that Palm has partnered with so that you can store
and sync your info in online accounts. For more information, see
from an online account in the
cloud.
Your Palm profile:
When you set up your phone, you create a Palm profile.
Your profile gives you an account in which to create and store contacts and
calendar events. It also gives you access to services like automatic updates
