There about 20000 sprint nextel store in the us. Who knows how many best buy, walmart and radio shack stores. Yet when the pre launches all of these places will be selling the pre. I guess each store will have one phone. Not to mention the fact that when I called sprint I was told that I could also call and order on the launch date. If there was really a pre shortage and they would not have any more phone til august they would not launch the phone yet. Please just use a lil common since people. First of all sprint and palm said they will not launch phone until they were confident that everything was right. I don't thin they just ment everything as far as hardware and software. Everything including phone quantities. You have to understand that when you purchase this phone if it gets lost, stolen or damaged and you have the total protection plan. Sprint to have enough phones to replace yours. If the next batch doesn't come out til august what are they gonna replace your phone with, a treo 755? We are talking bout a company who lost 1.25 million customers in the 1st quarter. I really think they would rather hold back the launch. Not to mention the fact that Palm has everything ridding on the success of this one devise. I think they would rather file bankruptcy before putting everything in this one device and then screwing up the launch. I’m still not believing this pre shortage crap.

You must work for Apple. Please stop with all of this confusion. I really don't believe any of this phone shortage crap either. I call sprint on sunday after see that best buy has the pre listed for $849.99 with you can search thier site and see with your own eyes. I asked about the price because I'm elegable for a $150 rebate to find if I would have to pay $700 after my rebate. I was told that regardless of the price I would only pay $299 after all discount and still receive the $100 mail. I also asked where I could get the phone. The person I spoke with said she wasn't sure. I then ask her will the stores that are shown in the store locator have the pre and she said yes they will. So anyone who would like to buy a pre please go out and get one, I know I will. Palm is a great company and has always had great products. I don't think the pre will be any different but please if you want one buy it. If you don't like it you can always take it back.

To what purpose JK is posting chopped screens I'm unsure.

Only then did I read all the comments. Come on guys, don't waste our time!

I just checked it out and Sprint has now removed any mention of which store is open when on launch day. Must not have liked the coverage today. :) Nope, it was real.

I called my local store and they said they were selling them and they were opening at 8AM on the 6th. I also talked to a Sprint rep and she said that EVERY Sprint store was going to have Pre's in stock.

I have heard that Premier customers would get an email that would allow them to buy on Friday evening - I also just read elsewhere that anyone that signed up to be notified at the time of release would get an email for a Friday purchase. I am sure we'll find out more in the next two weeks. Either way - locally or through telesales, I am getting one as I think I have my Touch Pro sold!

BGR was also the source which said Mossberg from the WSJ was going to review the Pre on May 19th, how well did that go? FACT, it did not happen. There are Apple hawks over at BGR who are going out of their way to try and undermine the Palm Pre. BGR is garbage.

In NYC, for instance, the only store listed with special hours is the location at 403 Avenue Of The Americas, which is fine. The problem, in my mind, is that the Sprint Store in the Flatiron Building is their most iconic iconic (it's in most of their commercials) and maybe the closest thing that Sprint has to a flagship store. It's inconceivable to me that they wouldn't be launching the Pre here. Also, it seems like a misstep of epic proportions to launch the device out of only ONE location in NYC.
