Combined Pre Rumors gone by
When can I get my hands on this phone?
I can not believe that Palm has hit one out of the park here with this phone! (imho)
I used the 650, and 700p, and loved them, then jumped ship to htc because Palm was just stagnating. Wow I am really impressed!

Radio Shack getting the phone in April...means Sprint gets it earlier
I just found out from a very credible source radio shack is getting this phone in April, and they usually don't get a phone at first launch so means sprint will have it by next month or march/April at the latest, I am super excited

If it hits on April 1, I will be shocked but if it hits on April 15, I could believe that!

Don't forget, Best Buy got the HTC Touch Pro a month before Sprint stores did. Maybe it's Radio Shacks turn for an exlusive.

I know that one of the two Sprint kiosks at Chesterfield Mall here in St. Louis is owned by Radio Shack, which also has a store there that sells Sprint phones. Radio Shack is a huge outlet, and if Best Buy can get an exlcusive, it's not impossible for Radio Shack to get one. I don't understand why Sprint wouldn't get them out to all Sprint outlets, private and company owned at the same time anyway unless they're getting paid for the exclusive.

Pre release date
I hope the Pre comes out before 5/1. I can upgrade my Centro then. The Pre looks great, can't wait to play w/one.

I hope it gets released before I change employers. That way I can take advantage of the Sprint discount my job provides.

Any Sprint employees out there heard any rumors on release date? I'm eligible on 3/1 to upgrade... and my 755p got a big crack in the screen last week, dangit! Now the touchscreen is virtually useless... so, needless to say, I'm hoping for a sooner than later release date.

Man, if it doesn't come out until May that will really suck. I want this thing out in February.
What's the holdup?

I've owned tons of different Treos, and have always been among the first to buy them. It seems like every time Palm showed the new phone on their home page, it was VERY soon (like within a week) that they would allow us to actually order the phone.
What do you guys remember about their history with this? Isn't that about right?

Yes pretty much when Palm and Sprint showed it on there page it was whithin weeks. The Centro was on palms page somewhere like 2 weeks before. The 800W it was days and the HTC Touch Pro was on sprints web site a few weeks before. Think it was 3. Considering all this and the fact that there are photos of the packaging I would guestimate that this should be shiping by the middle of Feb the lastest.
And they are saying Jan / feb on the Sprint user board where Sprint employess and workers post alot so I get the feeling were looking at Feb 15th. That would be sweet .

That will make almost four years. Was it a year for the iPhone?

Yeah, I think you're right- unless they find some huge problem with the devices that they need to fix before releasing them.
