Palm and Sprint announcing Pre availability May 19th in the WSJ? : Boy Genius Report

**Darth Pooh** · 05/11/2009, 09:03 PM

BGR = grain of salt. Sorry.

**Reeves** · 05/11/2009, 09:06 PM

Welp, we'll know soon enough. And even if they're wrong, BGR is helping to set expectations that Sprint/Palm will have to meet on the 19th or VERY soon thereafter.

I'll give you that. It's a shame, I'd prefer this device not to be rushed to the degree it gets ruined... shouldn't be dictated by some crappy blogger.

don't you think that palm's logistic work is done at this point and the ball is now in Sprint's court? palm created the recipe, hired the chinese to bake the bread, put it in the bags, and ship it to Sprint. the bread is sitting in Sprint's warehouses or on their way there as we speak.

It's obviously 99 percent of the way there with the recent box images, reports of review units going out now, plus this.

Palm and Sprint will be pulling the trigger on thier campaign within days, not weeks. It's a great feeling.

Ahh finally. I can ditch my Treo Pro and move to the Pre sooner than I anticipated!

**Kupe** · 05/11/2009, 11:07 PM

Is everyone aware this is just an announcement of the heretofore unannounced release date? On 19 May Sprint could announce a release date of 29 June so I'm not sure I understand what all the excitement is about the announcement of an announcement date.

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

Pretty big deal if you ask me!

Yeah BGR has gone down the toilet as far as credibility is concerned.

Don't forget that this is from BGR, this is just more speculation about a date.

Just saying...once we know when...we will all feel better...no more release date speculation threads.

I hope BGR is right....be a nice to get some more info heading our way.

It is. Only probably one or two weeks before the factory shipping of Pre, the OEM factory was hashing for some specific devices to conduct QA work on bluetooth

**Eguy** · 05/12/2009, 02:20 AM

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!

**udratherbme** · 05/12/2009, 08:18 AM

I know that everything Pre is out of the norm, but is it customary for Palm or Sprint to make release date announcements in WSJ only... are they trying to revive the newspaper as well.... wouldn't it make a whole lot of since to make the announcement sometimes this week or next week during sweeps and major season finales

**patchs** · 05/12/2009, 08:34 AM

I'm sure it will be on the WSJ's web site before the print edition is out.
Still, I'm going to buy one.
