The Palm Pre is the latest smartphone to create buzz in the marketplace. In partnership with iFixit and Phonewreck, CNET News sister site TechRepublic presents this Cracking Open photo gallery. Let's see how the Palm Pre's innards compare to the iPhone.

The lineup: Apple iPhone vs. Palm Pre. We love the feel of holding the Pre in our hands. In its closed position, it feels much more comfortable to hold than the iPhone. Notice the extra thickness of the Pre compared to the iPhone (17mm vs. 12mm). Not only does this allow the engineers more flexibility in designing the physical layout of components, but it also makes the Pre conform really well to our palm. 
The back panel snaps off easily to reveal the battery. The Pre's battery capacity is 1150 mAh, exactly the same as the iPhone 3G, though the Pre is reported to have slightly worse battery life due to its background process capability (but we don't mind). Sprint will eventually sell replacement and/or backup batteries. 
The Pre battery is on the left, and the iPhone 3G on the right. Although they're different shapes, both weigh in at 23 grams. In contrast to Apple's iPhones, the battery on the Pre is user-replaceable.
Shown is the back of the phone and speaker. The speaker in the Pre is substantially better than the one in the iPhone.
