Sprint announce date for Palm Pre launch – June 6th

May 19, 2009 Gadgets No comments

We finally got a date today from Sprint in the US, June 6th, but still no info on a date for this side of the pond so it looks like we’ll be waiting until after the Summer to pick it up in Europe.

Sprint has announced today that the Palm Pre will be available on June 6. Sprint announced that it will be available nationwide in Sprint stores, as well as at Best Buy, Radio Shack, and select Wal-Mart stores. The webOS-based phone will retail for $199.99 (after rebate and service agreement)

After the announcement of the launch date we were hit with the usual stories of “Expect Palm Pre Shortages” so anyone planning on getting one on or around the day of launch better get planning their over night camping in queues.

Sprint have launched a sweepstakes to give two people the chance to win a Palm Pre. It starts tonight and runs until the 18th May, which gives more fuel to the rumour that a launch date will be announced on that day.

There’s still no set date for the release of the Pre but things are still moving along. Palm really need to make an announcement within the next few weeks before Apple pick up speed with the expected new iPhone.

Noah from PhoneDog got a nice update at last week’s CTIA ’09 show in Las Vegas

Plus there was an interesting report on Bloomberg about how the Pre is turning Palm and Sprint around.

HTC announced 2 new devices at MWC in Barcelona today and of course Noah from PhoneDog.com was there to get the details.
Both look pretty nice with the new TouchFlo system but the Touch Pro 2 just looks great.

Palm Pre Update

February 17, 2009 Gadgets No comments

From earlier posts you’ll know I’ve been following the Palm Pre since its announcement at CES earlier in the year. Noah from PhoneDog.com is currently at the MWC in Barcelona and got a hands on demo of the Pre. From the demo the Pre definitely looks like it’s going to live up to the hype and seems to be still on target to hit the street in the early summer.
