HP Palm Pre 2: Hostile Sign-up Process to Initiate the Phone?

Palm launched the original Palm Pre line in 2009. It developed a small but loyal group of admirers but not enough to save Palm. Palm is now part of HP and relaunched its webOS powered line with the Palm Pre 2 this month. Mobile web developer Peter-Paul Koch bought a Pre 2 to take a closer look at its WebKit powered interface. However, if his initial start-up process experience is a typical one, the Pre 2’s future might not be very bright.
