Re: Re: Palm Pre: The good, the bad, and the ugly

Re: Enjoy it while you can, Sprint: Verizon and AT&T to get Pre

Here is what I found they said: Sprint Nextel's exclusive window to sell Palm's Pre will last for six months after its June 6 debut: Verizon Wireless said Thursday that it would carry the smartphone along with a crop of other high-end handsets. These include Research in Motion's sequel to the Blackberry Storm, a new RIM device called the Tour, an Android-based phone, a handset from Motorola and an updated LG enV with a touch screen.
