Palm Pre: Coming how soon?
Posted in This Just In... on April 13th, 2009 by gkrakowThat depends on who you’re listening to.
There are some insiders that hear Palm’s next-generation smartphone will be available by the last day of this month. Those in-the-know folks say that the handset will retail for $299 with a two-year contract with Sprint. I can’t believe either of those rumors are true. Especially the price. Palm shouldn’t price the phone more than the entry level iPhone – no matter how revolutionary they think Pre is.
There are other “experts” who say the phone will be released in the middle ot May.
And there are one of two who think release day is coming at the end of June (rivaling Apple’s previous iPhone update time frame).
I don’t have an accurate prediction. I do know that Palm will release the phone when they (and the phone) are good and ready. But, they might start pre-sales soon to keep interest high.
I’m sure they’re getting a kick out of all the free Pre pre-PR.
