What location services are available with the Pre?
The Pre is compatible with Sprint Mobile Locator and Business Mobility Framework (BMF).

Are there special requirements for first use/set up?
Yes. First Use configures the phone for the customer, walks them through creating a Palm profile,
and introduces them to some basic features.

A Palm profile is important because all webOS updates are delivered over the air. By creating a
Palm profile, Palm is able to find the device to send out the latest update and back up information
that is not saved elsewhere.

There is a second portion to the device set up that offers a short tutorial on how to use the Palm
Pre. The term “Setup” is the preferred customer-facing term for First Use.

Note: If customers do not create a Palm profile, they cannot leave First Use/Setup, and cannot use
the device. The Palm profile ensures that customers have access to the latest software updates,
which will allow them to receive the latest updates.

What happens if the customer does not accept the Google Mobile Terms of Service?
If the user does not accept Google Mobile Terms of Service during setup, GPS services (Sprint
Mobile Locator) will not function on the device. If the customer did not accept the Google Mobile
Terms of Service and tries to use the GPS services, he or she will be directed back to the Google
Mobile Terms of Services sign in page.


For some reason, Palm thinks the above info shouldn't be available to customers in general. :sweat:
