Sprint will be launching the new TREO from Palm on June 6. The Palm Pre is a slider PDA phone. Aside from having touchscreen, wi-fi and email capabilities, the phone runs on a WEB operating system with “palm synergy” feature.
Palm Synergy can bring your Outlook, Google and Facebook calendars together in one view. If you have your Contacts in different places, the Pre can link them together, making the information easy to find. Aside from these features the new palm phone is also capable of doing activity cards, combined messaging, universal search, GPS and high resolution photos and videos.
Price will be $199.99 after a $100 mail in rebate for new lines of service and full $150 upgrade eligibility.
One downside is that, we heard the Palm Pre will not have Visual Voicemail, which a lot of corporate customers need.
In contradiction to the intial info that was advertised by Sprint online, the Palm Pre will not launch in Telesales and Sprint.com. We heard that it will launch in Sprint stores and Third Party vendor stores like Best Buys, Walmart and Radioshack. Initial stocks will be easier to manage this way according to Sprint. Once you buy the Pre, Sprint stores can set up the phone for you, voicemail and all.
Literally, there will be pandemonium in Sprint stores on Saturday.
