I spoke with Sprint on friday. They stated that it was never their intention to send the invite to only a few sprint premier members. They told me they were looking in to it.

To those wondering. The e-mail invitation to the June 5th Sprint Pre Launch party, at which time SP members can actually buy the Pre, was only e-mailed to select SP members. I really don’t know what the selection requirements were. I know other SP members that have been Sprint customers as long as I have(from the begining) but did not receive the e-mail invite to the launch party. I received the e-mail on 05/19 around 4pm pacific. E-mail instructs you to register via a link and to wait for an e-mail confirmation.

@ veks,

I don’t know how Robert’s $150 discount works, but I do know that the standard rebate is $100. So if Robert’s $150 off works then he will be paying $150 at most after rebate.

most of these comments bashing are fanboys who don’t even know how groundbreaking the device really is. I’ve had crackberrys your wack iphones (which barely got video) and the storm (which they can’t approve an os update for) For starters the Pre will be one 1ST smart phone that I’ve ever held that can render flash images. so when you HATERS can find a blackberry or a iphone that can handle adobe flash. ill be at that party..but I doubt it so on june 6th ill be there with my pre and tons of d list celebs!!! keep hating maybe you’ll get a life somewhere along with iphone with worthless apps geez….

@Robert:
Um, no, I don’t think so. The $199 price includes the $150 off. Doesn’t it?

I’m a sprint premier customer and I haven’t gotten anything. I did get something in the mail yesterday but no mention of this.

i spoke with a rep at radio shack and he told me the pre would be $30 out the door with my $150 upgrade!!! they’ll be doin instantrebates which makes the pre 199, 150 off that makes it 49 and maybe a 20 dollar discount for buying at radio shack makes it 29.99!!

3 Phones Jugglin, I’m trying to figure out why this site isn’t pumping news about the Touch Pro 2. They were all over the T Mobile suspected launch, which looks to be around the same time

I’ll probably check out the Atlanta party as well. If the Pre is a fail, and Sprint can’t deliver an Android device by the end of the year, I’m done with them.

I was not invited…YET – to this event, but I was only a Sprint customer 2 weeks before I was invited to get the Instinct days before it was even released… So Im likely on a list for this, that is, if it also takes place in San Francisco!

hey mo whatcha smokin these days? have you been reading, Good bye Palm!!, i think not. the Pre is one of the most hyped up phones today. people are going to buy it on that basis alone. just like the Iphone and the Storm, this will be a winner. And VZW buying sprint will not happen either do to CDMA monopoly. Gotta love the Trolls for trying though.

I have a hard time picturing celebs at a Sprint store unless their some NASCAR type…..??

Sprint employees are ghetto. The local Sprint stores around my area hire thugs. They try to rap and rhyme while dishing out bad information in regards to their devices and services. The last thing I need when I go into a Sprint store is to be serenaded by aspiring R&B artists.

As much as I dislike Verizon I still think Sprint should take a clue and hire some more professional looking (and acting) retail reps.

That said, I think the Pre will shine when compared to the other devices in Sprint’s lineup. I don’t think it will save them from the iPhone. The iPhone has people flocking to it despite AT&T lackluster network.

I buy every hyped up smartphone that comes out on the market and so far the Bold has been my soulmate, the Pre will be another bust. See ya Sprint , hope VZW buys you up , and goodbye Palm , Apple will acquire your brokeass.
