"Official" Pre Release June 6 (Maybe buy on 5th?) Thread

jhoff80 · 05/19/2009, 04:02 AM

Palm Pre to Launch June 6 (confirmed) | Notebooks.com

Though, June 6 is obviously not 48 days away, so maybe it's a fake. July 6 is 48 days away though.......

Edit: And as we probably all know now, confirmed here: http://www.precentral.net/official-p...after-contract

Sorry. Error 404: Page Not Found

I'm sorry, but the post or page you're looking for could not be found. It could be because of our recent re-design. Here are a couple of options that might help you.

Gottabemobile.com and Notebooks.com are partners, so it's the same article by the same writer.

Yeah, me too. I didn't post because it's obviously a fake! Unless of course they managed to find a way to fit 48 days in 19, in which case news of the Pre would be nothing in comparison!

luvbug621 · 05/19/2009, 04:58 AM

Can I Haz Pre!

IGoDwnTwn34 · 05/19/2009, 05:02 AM

Ya think those of us that are here in the early morning hours for the Pre-announcement will be the ones that show up at Sprint stores in the early morning hours for the Pre-Purchase???

IGO

You know it!

Anyway, I really hope this isn't a fake. I'll be ****ed.

Evgeny · 05/19/2009, 06:00 AM

Not a fake apparently!

Engadget: we reached out to Notebook.com who gave us a very convincing backstory for how they came up with this timer (that we saw working) showing a June 6th launch

Eguy · 05/19/2009, 06:09 AM

As long as it is the first week of June I don't care what day it is released on! Can I haz Pre now???

jhoff80 · 05/19/2009, 06:24 AM

From the Engadget writer's comments at the link above:

Quote:

no no, this is in its pre-calibrated form as mentioned in the post -- so it's not in sync with a calendar. The timing would obviously be sync'd when embedded as ads in HTML on websites. At least that's how the story was told. Post updated to be more clear.

Seems that explains the 48 days on the countdown, and that this is most likely real.

Both links don't work. Strange.

Palm Pre Release Date Is Now Official

Quote:

According to Sprint's marketing campaign that was initiated here at infoSync and other websites late yesterday, the Palm Pre will be released on June 6 2009 to be exact.

Although...I still haven't seen an official ad from Sprint or Palm.

samkim · 05/19/2009, 06:55 AM

Cool. So June 6 is now "Pre-Day".
