The Palm Pre seems like old news already….they waited too long on this one.

This is NOT True – Guaranteed! Sprint store managers don’t even know, yet.

Why does everyone claim Sunday to be sprints magic launch day? Sprint hyped the original instinct and launched it on a friday…. WTF with this sunday attention?

And my Sprint rep says it will be late July or early August. It’s all guesses & lies. Wait for the WSJ ad next Tue. But why am I reading these articles? Because I WANT MY PRE! and NOW!

This is driving me nuts. I hope Palm is happy. I think I am, but I’m confused.

On other notes- the cost. Sprint is giving away two Pre’s with a year of free service. If you read the rules they value the package at $1800. Deduct $1200 for the service, $70 for the Touchstone. Full value retail price of the phone ends up at ~$530.

The doesn’t make sence…why did you write this? If this happens…people will already have bought the iPhone. It has to come on the Now Network “Now.”

This article’s argument doesn’t hold any water, mainly because its main argument rests on the iPhone 3.0 launching on WWDC, which as anyone knows it’s not the case. The most it could happen is Apple will announce a new iPhone (I personally believe it won’t be a significant upgrade, just OS 3.0, camera, capacity enhancements, et al, but that’s for another post) alongside new MBPs, etc, with an actual market launch after summer/before holidays.

However, I do believe that June 16th could still be a good move, as the Pre will have the stage for themselves by then.

And besides, as much as mouth-breather geeks (like us) want the Pre right now, Sprint/Palm will launch it when they think it’s the time.

Well that is my b-day! That would be great… But why give the news on May 19th for June 16th since it is almost a month away?

Hey, look, I can do it to. My rep said June 30th. And if you believe that, I have a bridge to sell you. Apple is not going to launch the iPhone the same day they announce it. That would be a bad move for all sorts of reasons, like, they won’t be able to milk the buzz marketing cow, and why not keep making software adjustments while the pre is out? Apple is going to buy one, you can bet on that. So, it really doesn’t matter when the Pre comes out.

That would just piss a lot of people off if it’s true.
