Palm Pre Base

Here it is boys n` gals, after months of anticipation, exhausted by rumors it is offical. Palm Pre will be available on June 6th, Spint has just released a press release. All you european Palm lovers before you get too excited, there is a bit of bad news. Palm Pre will be selling only in the US for the time being, and there is no info on the EU launch at this moment. This is pretty dissapointing that Palm decided to take this path. We are still hoping that they will at least give us a rough estimate.

So Palm pre will go for 199$ (after a mail in rebate and a two year contract with Sprint), we are guessing CDMA/EVDO version with a special “Palm Pre only” plan with data & messaging included. It will be available at Sprint, Best Buy, Radio Shack and some Wall-Mart locations. Optional TouchStone inductive charger will be 69,99$ (charger + back plate)

The launch date is on collision course with WWDC and possibly new iPhone demo, so we guess people at Palm calcualted their ods pretty carefully and decided to go for the prize :) . Since we are euro centric Palm Pre blog we will be on the lookout for any kind of info on the EU launch date so stay with us.
