Palm Pre Announcement Scheduled for Next Week

[Gekko]

I just thought of something... Why the hell does Palm drag everything out so long??? Everytime they release things it is right at the end (or longer with the 700p MR) of the determined period. It would be nice to get things early...bah what the hell... the Pre is really coming out soon!!! woohooo!

Palm Pre Announcement Scheduled for Next Week

i have a feeling Ruby has a few tricks left up his sleeve.

the falcon has heard the falconer.

It will put an end to the endless speculation about the release date.

Pretty big deal if you ask me!

At this point its a not a big deal ,
We have only a month before the original "First Half" announcement.

With each passing day , PALM and SPRINT have no choice.
I dare say them to postpone the DATE !!!!!!

BGR = grain of salt. Sorry.

I think BGR has had excellent record on Palm and Sprint leaks.

I'm not saying they are wrong either.

BGR is self-serving at times... I hate the soapbox upon which they stand. They've been known to get a few things wrong (and right) in the past... it is what it is. At this point, I say it's just speculation and guessing.

A fine quote indeed, Gekko.

[fwinst]

Although it's just the possibility of an announcement. I'm hoping the report is correct and we will find out at least 3 things.

1) The release date
2) The price
3) Which plans the phone will work with

if they postpone the date then they both will FAIL.

[beret9987]

if they postpone the date then they both will FAIL.

If they did that, a little part of me would just DIE inside. I doubt it though. They want to have this released before the iPhone most likely. Or, at least around the time of contract renewal for those first-day iPhone customers which was June 29, 2007.

Ever notice who many people translate their personal ansgt into someone else's incompetance.

Lighten guys, its not late until July.

The horror. The absolute, unbridled horror....

[Gekko]

maybe they are waiting to launch it AFTER iphone 3.0? let iphone launch on June 8, get a few weeks of buzz, and then have the Pre come in and steal all of the thunder on June 30!

BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think it may be just an announcement, but the phone will release by July. There was a September rumor, but I don't know about that one. But it would then take heat off the Pre, if true,

Come on, it's either BGR or your 8-ball. I'd rather have something more than yes/no answers...

BGR is best there is in terms of information.

[Darth Pooh]

No offense, Palm telling me FHo2009 is all I need. Just a phone...

BGR causing silly season to get dumber is not what I need. That's my beef, not personal angst... so effing dramatic around here.

Reply hazy, please try again.

So, I got fed up with waiting and went to AT&T for a month. The iPhone is nice, but their monthly fee's are ridiculous and even though their call centers are in the United States, their customer support is terrible, so I'm back!

Anyways, while I was at the Sprint Store last night I came across a rep that was extremely knowledgeable about the Pre. This is very atypical as most of you know, so my father, brother and I really pressed him for information. He assured us that early June was a very good speculation for the release date, but could not tell us the exact date he had been told. He also told us that May 19th either palm or sprint (he wasn't specific) would be giving a release date for the phone.

I know that the Wall Street Journal is suppose to be presenting info on the 19th as well, so I'm sure this is what he was referring to. It's just nice to hear it from a Sprint Source rather than just another blog.

(sorry about creating that new thread, I didn't see this one. Please forgive my bad forum manners!)
