You’ve just spent $1,000 (or, at least committed to spent that amount) on a gorgeous new Palm Pre, right?
You’ve spent a little while playing with it and you decide to login online to the Palm Pre online management console at Palm.com. You’re rather impressed that the phone constantly updates your personal settings on the site so that, should you lose your device, you can easily re-establish your entire settings on a new device. All is good. Further, you’re rather impressed that you can press a button on this web console and, woosh, you can erase the handset just in case somebody steals it.
Nice.
You’ve only had your Palm Pre for an hour and you haven’t really had a chance to play with it… but you’re just dying to try out the remote ERASE function on the web console…, right?
So what do you do?
Press it.
That’s what Myriam Joire, otherwise known as Tnkgrl, did yesterday.
Cue all kinds of havoc, along with a super-fast personal resolution from the Palm caps.
Today we bring you first impressions of the Palm Pre from Myriam who was first in line at 6am on Saturday morning outside the Sprint store in the Castro area of San Francisco.
That’s dedication.
Myriam knows her stuff — she’s a mobile developer by trade for one of the large manufacturers — and she just couldn’t help herself from hitting that ERASE button…
If you’re anywhere near interested in Palm Pre, definitely have a watch.

That is one ugly guy, holy jesus. There should honestly be a viewing discretion warning…too early in the morning to look at a guy like this.
