Palm Pre to launch March 1st?

News, Palm Pre, Rumors

palm-pre-launch-date-1
It’s time to go in the rumor domain since no real news are flowing in. There are several “reports” that Palm Pre might hit the shelves as early as March. There is nothing specific but it seems reasonable to assume. The reports around the web are saying that Sprint is already training their sales staff on the Palm Pre, it came from a pen of a serious journalist Sarah Lacy so there is no reason not to believe her.

Here is the deal, the earlier release date, the better chance they can catch up with Apple, BlackBerry and the other crowd. As I see it, for Palm time is of essence, earlier they launch they have a better chance of fighting off Apple with their copyright/patent whatever infringement accusations, especially when Steve is on the leave.

So March is a perfect date, they announce the launch date at WMC in Barcelona, giving time for end buyers to cash in and prepare, at the same time they are one step ahead of everyone else.
Android, Apple, RIM and everyone else will be launching not sooner than summer. So I don’t see why not.

Oh and I almost forgot, we just might have a secret clue, a subliminal message only for the cool kids to see, giving away the launch date. Check out the time stamp on every other official Palm Pre picture :).

    simple question? how much?

  2. Luka says:

    There is still no price tag on the Pre, but there has been some rumors, 399$ on a 2 year contract (USA, Sprint). Not confimred tho. My rough estimate is that they will try to compete with iPhone prices so (299/199$ w 2y contract, or 599$ wo contract).

    I have been using a Palm Treo for 2.5 years and during that period lots of new phones have come but none except the iPhone impressed me. And then when Palm announced the Palm Pre with a new Web OS I knew I just had to wait. – Palm Die Hard User, Bombay-India

    So the palm pre has already hit the market with great reviews. Any clue when this phone might be released in India??

  7. Blackjack says:

    Yeah it will be a while before they launch the GSM version.Don’t know if my Treo will last till then. It’s been acting up suddenly after 2.5 yrs just after the launch of the Palm Pre. Shuts off 10-15 times a day. Help needed if someone has a cure.

  11. Alex says:

    What will be the India price? Any guesses?

  12. Sana says:

    The price is going to be between 25-30 thousand. It is due to launch early october, atleast that’s what the people at united telecom said they were told my the Palm distributors. I don’t know who’s going to wait until then, but i think you should look at the HTC Hero in the meantime. It’s The palm pre’s competition, and it looks GREAT! :)

    Does anyone know which sort of video files are supported? I keep in mind the Intuition only might dl 3gp using opera mini. I downloaded the twist ap, perhaps that is the problem? How can I watch movies from websites aside from youtube? Which file types? Usually I am given the choice of 3gp or mpeg4. Cannot get either to work. Thanks on your time! Damn I wish I used to be eligible for the upgrade to EVO!
