Thank you Sprint/Plam. And I can't believe that you're releasing it on my birthday! I've been with Sprint for over 10 years, I got my first Palm in April, 1999 and I've had a Treo since the 300. What a great birthday present!!!!

the 6th is my birthday too...what a treat! But I'm sure I need to order over the phone because of my SERO plan.
Posted by: J | May 19, 2009 at 06:32 AM
I have been ready for this phone for a few months, I just hope it lives up to all the hype it's getting. I'll be there bright and early to get mine.

Unfortunately Palm/Sprint took too long and I purchased an iPhone. I may test drive the Palm Pre, but the iPhone is awsome. Sorry Palm/Sprint, too late.

Well that means the PalmGoon competition will end June 6th as well.
Get posting.

Waiting for the GSM version - but who knows, I might be tempted when I play with a Pre in real life...
Posted by: Dave H. | May 19, 2009 at 08:02 AM
Great! cant wait to pick this up.
Posted by: Watch Movies | May 19, 2009 at 08:04 AM
Yey!! I can't wait.

I am glad it is coming out, I just wish it was available through Verizon. I am not switching my whole family just to get the most amazing smartphone that I (really!) want. I am coaxing my 700P along until you broaden your market. I hope those of you on Sprint enjoy!
Posted by: Barbara | May 19, 2009 at 08:41 AM
Well Palm now has another 5 months to get the Pre to ATT. Otherwise I'll be getting an iPhone. I really want the Pre, but I'm not jumping companies. I have too many friends and family using ATT.

Guys, who's bright idea was the rebate? Do you know why the iPhone is so popular -- because it eschews all user hostile complications like rebates. Just charge $199 up front and be done with it.

Is there a GSM version of Palm available..
I prefer GSM version than thrrowing my CDMA phone after 2 years in dust bin...
Posted by: lakshmi | May 19, 2009 at 08:59 AM
Finally!! I broke my centro yesterday and have been using my old Treo with the hope that this announcement would tide me over!! I can deal with the Treo for a couple of weeks...
Posted by: Dana B | May 19, 2009 at 09:00 AM
Will there be an option to preorder the Pre through our local Sprint stores?
Posted by: Jake | May 19, 2009 at 09:00 AM
WOO HOO, been waiting for this and anticipate it being all that it promises!
Been holding of on upgrading 2 of our phones until the Pre is available! Will be among the 1st to get ours!
I've heard it's going to BLOW the iphone out of the water!
