Guess the ‘ninja’ has been removed. I did see a full page iPhone ad in the WSJ this AM though…

Is this rumor from a “reliable” ninja going to be updated now?

One of my clients (computer repairs) is pretty high up in the sprint food chain. Even he wasn’t disclosed the release date of the phone. He said it was guaranteed to be out in the next 4 weeks, and that he will only know more after taking a non-disclosure class O.o Get psyched tho, because the pre is on its way

Glad to see some haven’t given up because the phone wasn’t released right after the rumors started in January

i have been interested in this phone as soon as it was announced and am still interested in it. In fact i am planning on switching over from verizon to sprint just to get this phone.

I put my name on a ‘release date’ email list on sprint.com. I just received an email from them for a contest to win a Palm Pre, with 1 year everthing service, and the cool recharger. It says the contest ends May 18th. So that means it’ll hit the streets soon after I hope.

I’m starting to believe Sprint/Palm want to to have a face-off with the new iPhone, there’s no reason not to, at least, let us know how much money we’ll be spending. Sprint did this with the Instinct, letting leaks of prices of it leaking $200 and $250 before settling on $130. That was done because the iPhone was subsidized, maybe they want to see what the next one’s price will be

The person who says that Palm keyboards “blow”, to use his intelliagent word, obviously hasn’t used one. I had a palm phone and the keyboard blows away the instinct keyboard for typing. I could type three times as fast and much more accurate on the palm phone. Please make sure that you know what you are talking about when adress issues.

I have a friend who works for Sprint service Center here in Oklahoma City which will be the only call center for the Pre he told me the release date will be no later than JUNE 8th!!!

I was on Sprint tech support for a while ironing out a problem with one of my children’s phones.

I casually asked when the Pre would be availalbe, and the rep said mid-June, but would not nail down an actual day.

The Pre will always be a wanna be iPhone, will fail miserably and the key board blows as with all Palm phones!

if the Pre showed up on best buy’s inventory for the 7th …it would make sense to me that Sprint should have it out at their stores before then. i hope the announcement expected for release date this 19th would be for the end of may/early june giving them at least a week ahead of apple’s wwc.

to be honest though, i don’t know why we (even i have these thoughts) have to feel like Palm and Sprint should deliver before the expected new iphone. The more Pre detials that are exposed show us how well thought of has the device been. i think we should give Palm and Sprint a lil more credit. they have a great innovative product!! other phone companies should be the ones feeling threatened!!

diddo… i was pretty much money in the bank for palm and sprint….i was all set to get this phone the moment it was released but since palm and sprint decided to take so long i figure i might as well just wait to see what the new iPhone is going to be like…

I heard last week from a Best Buy associate that Sprint stores were going to get the phone a few weeks before them. The May 19th date would play into that plan.

Future Iphone need two webcam & video conference services

The SERO plan is cheap and a great deal. If they are subsidizing the phone it will take them the entire 2 years of the contract to break even if they even. So people please stop complaining if the Sprint doesn’t allow the phone on SERO. It would be great if they did but if they don’t then I can totally see why. They aren’t making any money on SERO. Those who complain go to Verizon and pay $40 a month for 450 minutes, $30 for unlimited data, and $20 for unlimited texting. Which is $90 a month, compared to $30 on SERO. I guess some people will complain even if you give them something for free.

Did anyone notice that both Jack and Kim on 24 were using the Palm Pre last night (5/11/09)? Do you think they will announce it next Monday on the season finale?

AGREED! The Pre has lost it’s sizzle…I am going to wait to see what the new iPhone is like and then will decide to leave Sprint after all these years. If the occupants of the Sprint Ivory Tower reads any posts-know that your customers are tired of defending why they stay with you. This might be my PRE-cursor to leaving for an iPhone.
