There has been a lot of discussion being thrown around as to whether or not Sprint Premier customers invited to these Launch Parties will indeed be able to purchase a Pre tonight before its official launch tomorrow. The invitation states a big fat yes but that didn't stop other from calling, emailing, and harassing Sprint about it and some claim they've heard back that no, we won't be able to purchase the Pre early. I can't put everyone's mind at ease about ... Read More

File this under rumors and speculation, people... got that? Okay, now we can move on. Our source at Sprint has informed us that there are some minor rumblings going around that the company might do away with the mail-in rebate for the Pre in favor of an instant rebate. As you might have guessed, this is in part due to retail pressure from outlets like Best Buy Mobile and RadioShack which offer the instant rebate on phones. Sprint is hoping that by matching ...

Sort of... CNN reports that AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson said at All Things Digital:D7 today that he "sees AT&T selling the Pre after the exclusive arrangement with Sprint expires." That's not necessarily a definite but going along with the fact that Sprints exclusivity has a expiry date you would expect that some of the other networks would pick the phone up.

Load your mags, cock your hammer, and check your safety at the door because it’s smash and grab time at Best Buy. Remember about what we said about being willing to kill another person to get your hands on a Palm Pre at launch. Well if you were hoping to pick one up at Best Buy with a instant rebate, then you might have to be willing to kill several people. Boy Genius is reporting that Best Buy will only receive about ...

Palm is taking a bit of a hit in the markets following the announcement of the Palm Pre's release date of June 6th. While it isn't uncommon for stock to fall on the back of a major announcement as investors weigh up the potential of the stock under new conditions, the fall in Palms value probabally represents a certain apprehension regarding the timing and promise of the Palm Pre release. The June 6th date is immediately going to be viewed in the context ... Read More

Not sure about you but i've seen those videos on YouTube from Black Friday and getting involved in a desperate rush to buy a good in high demand when there is a limited amount of stock is a dangerous game. Hence why Sprint seem to be taking a cautious approach to advertising the Palm Pre in case they create such a frenzy that people end up trampled and dying in their store fronts when all they wanted was to be able to multi-task ...
