Palm Pre Base

It seems that everyone that was speculating about March 1st as the Palm Pre launch date were not that far off. According to the BoyGeniusReport, that somehow got ahold of the Sprint EOL products list. As you can see things are getting really interesting, amongst other models there is a note on the Palm Pre “in stock on the 3/15″ (March 15th). It’s not much, but i think it’s enough.

According to BGR the Palm Pre will replace Palm 755P during that period. Like we sait it is not hard, undisputable evidence, but for many of us that are looking for any shread of “proof” it is enough.

So it seems that Palm decided to have an early go on the “throne”, shortly after Worldwide Mobile Conference in Barcelona, where we hope to see more Pre demos Pre will be introduced to the world. This rises other concerns like, will this be USA only launch, or if maybee GSM version of Palm Pre is ready to ship on the same date. I think that March 15th is a bit prematured for a complete and polished product and I’m really skeptic about the date. Opinions?
