Palm Pre to be released on April 30th?
Take this with as much salt as a delicious freshly baked pretzel, but according to an alleged beta tester of the Palm Pre, the highly anticipated device will be released on April 30th for $299.99 with a two-year contract. The source of the information, Jim Van, works for Logicomm; an IT company based out of Rhode Island. Now, we know a lot of people are going to be excited about this, but we remain very, very skeptical. A few things working against the source: 1) He would certainly be under NDA from both Palm and Sprint forbidding him from discussing the product in private, let alone public. 2) Why would a beta tester have been told pricing and release date? 3) Then there’s the fact that no real and conclusive evidence is given, of course. We’d love to be wrong and have the Pre drop on us as early as possible but at this point in time, we’re still leaning towards late May/early June launch as we’ve stated in the past. Of course pushing it up to late April would be as great for Palm as it is unlikely — the more space between the Pre launch and the new iPhone announcement, the better.

^Do you have a 2-year-old child? S/he can explain it to you.
ok then. just like i thought. You can just be quiet and take the loss. I cant believe there are people as retarded as you. Have a nice life!! if you have one.
^The above personally attacking embarrassment has been brought to you by …
The same cowardly, unapologetic trolls who cannot contain their prepubescent ‘wisdom’.
thanks for replying literally seconds after i post. I will see you later brother troll!! Until we meet again.
Damn it feels good to be a winner!!!!!!!!
^300 seconds, to be accurate.
You serve your cause well. No one could represent Palm -any- better or more appropriately.
lol. shows how much you know!! wink.
you dont know if i like palm or just hate stupid comments.
What’s perfectly clear? You’re a trolling idiot who doesn’t know how deep in shit he is.
i am still waiting for your explanation Mr. Lead Troll. You havent given me one. only immature insults.
Asked your 2-year-old yet?
It matters not whether you ‘like’ Palm as representing them does not require it.
Doug H, is on to something with the gangbanging idea. Sprint doesn’t do it right so let’s see Palm will stand tall. This was to get back to topic
Right on cue, DonVinnie.
Speaking of having your cake and eating it too …
You fool no one … but yourself.
“Sprint do it right and Palm stand tall”? What the fuck does that translate to when using the English language?
ok thanks. take care offbeat! see you next time
They (Palm) ought to start rolling out information to the general public about now so it can build steam for the upcoming competition being that they’re already in the background. This could bring them closer to the forefront with proper execution
My company just informed us that we will not be able to use the Palm Pre. They will not allow our customer names numbers and address’s to reside on computers that are not maintained by our company. I have a friend in the financial business and he said that they won’t be able to get it for similar reasons.
^Your razor-sharp grip on marketing strategy and execution is simply astounding! I’m unsure why Elevation Partners [formerly known as Palm] haven’t brought you on-board at $1.00/Yr! Sheer genius!
How many convenient leaks about a product company known for their iron-fisted, control-freak management does it take before one realizes they are indeed stirring the ‘competitive’ pot?
The whole purpose is to stir the pot, get the anticipation level higher among those that know nothing about the device
^Elevation Partners [formerly Palm] should be in awe of your impressive abilities to communicate their message.
Keep those snarky leaks and comments a-comin’ and keep stirring the shitstorm … errr … I mean pot! One has to wonder how Nokia or Blackberry ever survived without your “contribution”.
Shenanigans on this rumor, would be nice if it were true (not the price) but it’s doubtful
-Still- churning the shitstorm with regurgitated nonsense, DonVinnie? Luv the result you get [goose egg]! Keep hope ALIVE!
Mission accomplished, keep dialog on the topic going. Even if some the responses are out of bounds. The Pre will be hot and for more than Sprint holders
Indexed shit is -still- shit nonetheless, DonVinnie. Thanks for the perfectly clear confirmation that your “mission accomplished” equals your “regurgitated nonsense”. Have you no shame, SprintBitchboy?
I have enough integrity to only respond to some of the crap spewed and at the same time stay on topic w/o insults. I know a wanna be witty comment is coming but put something about the Pre in it
Fuck you.
Index -that-, Troll.
Moving past all the ignorance of the previous post by our resident crap quarters, they know who they are, who really believes in 28 days we’ll see this either online or in stores at $300? I’m not falling for the banana in the tailpipe on either count
Donnie (aka Mr Causation) should be ashamed of himself. So much to lose.
