- Lock the Phone with a Pin or Password.
- Choice of hiding the notifications while the phone is locked.
- You can Geotag photos.
- Language support on the Pre includes: English, Spanish, German, Italian, French, Dutch and Portuguese.
- PDF View app will be available on the Palm Pre.
Highlights from Pre's YouTube App:
- Can't rate, comment on videos. "Meant for just watching videos"
- You can share a video you like via Email or text message.

Wow. This might be a good phone choice for my mom. Her English is quite limited, and she's due for a full discount. Good to know that it has that language setting. Also, the text looks like it's a good size, unlike WM.
Any idea if double byte languages (Chinese, Japanese & etc) are supported? If no, is there a plan to support it?
