If you were signed up for Palm Pre updates from Sprint you would have received the below email this morning that proclaims the Pre: ALL THE RAGE

Presumably the rage is referencing that amount of traffic the Pre is getting on the pipes right now, and the amount of speculation and rumor that is flying around about the new handset and the webOS software.

What is really interesting is that Sprint are specifically advertising the Pre and not just the network. That May 17th date is now looking really likely. Expect to see Palm specific adverts everywhere from the beginning of next week.
