To make a long story short, the Palm Pre will be hitting Sprint’s network June 6th (the week after next) with a $199 price tag after a $100 mail-in rebate. The Pre is definitely aiming to bridge the gap between the all work or all play perceptions of the BlackBerry and iPhone.
From what we hear the Palm Pre is one heck of the device that goes a long way to tie work and play in a single device. Unfortunately for Palm, however, I believe that Sprint has set the price too high.

I’ll be making a purchase.
You will have to let us know how you like it.
Maybe if Sprint makes that mail-in rebate into an instant rebate I will pick one up too. Might even set up a new blog.
What do you think of Pre.cious.com 🙂
That’s cute. I’ll let you know how it is. I’ll be playing with one today if I can get away from my office. This is the device I would have loved to see RIM release…touch screen with the slide out keyboard.
I am getting one of these too. RIM should have bought Palm back early last year when they were dirt cheap and should have released this with blackberry email instead of the Storm.
If you are serious about starting a Pre blog let me know via my email address. I would love to write from time to time on my experiences with it.
My wife will be getting one and depending on her experience (and mine as I play with her pre), I may be trading in my Blackberry for a Pre.
I think the price is reasonable.
