Pre 3 headed to Verizon? 61

OH SNAP! Where did you get this picture?

The good news is, I gave up caring what carrier it goes to. When my pre-minus breaks, I can't stop what is not stopable. A new phone and whatever is available and meets my needs will get takin. Sadly that won't involve me switching networks unless sprint screws me over, which being the single plan I am unlikly.

So, go ahead HP release the pre 3 to the very likly verizon and at&t, forget sprint again. I stopped worrying after the pre2.

Screwed us on the pre plus, screwed us on the pre 2, and will take advantage of us again on the pre 3 :).

Still love this OS, just wish I could use it on somthing that worked.

The ball's in your court Sprint.

If I have to pay $10 more a month to use the same amount of data on Sprint than on my Pre, I'll wait for something with at least mid-2011 specs of a high-end phone. There was a point where loner cool wise transitioned to sad and pathetic. Maybe the Pre4 will bring a reason to come back.

It's pretty obvious by now that HP could give a rat's as$ about its potential consumer customers. They only care about enterprise. Verizon has many more business/enterprise customers, so pre and touchpad go to verizon. That's why HP could give 2craps about all of the complaints re making things right, no 2.0, no new consumer upgrade path for Sprint customers. The don't care about consumer space, only enterprise.

This would just be the all time kick in the balls if Sprint doesn't get a new WebOS device..... and soon.... my original PRE is hanging on by tape and glue.... its getting really embarrassing trying to be loyal .... :-(

I really don't want to go to Verizon. I'm gonna creep outside HP along with the spooky Palm commercial girl until we get a Pre 3 on Sprint.

I wish that picture would expand out a little. I'm curious what that device is on the far side of the Pre3 that we can only see a tiny bit of.

Guess I'm on of the only ones who's happy to see it on VZ. Ever since Sprint started charging $10 month for "premium data" even if your phone isn't 4g capable, I've had a bad taste in my mouth. With that extra charge, the price differential between the two isnt nearly as wide as it used to be.

What are the chances that the Pre 3 will be available for AT&T? Does anyone have any insight or information or guesses?

Sprint is too affordable to leave. Guess I'll be sporting Android. Gawd what an awful day. Really was hopeful this thing would land on Sprint. Tired of waiting on this crappy roller coaster of new webOS devices to land on Sprint.

Was it too much to expect a new webOS phone so I didn't have to buy new accessories and apps?

there is no way i'm going to leave sprint.

Man, I really want Sprint to get the Pre3 :-( I was saving my upgrade for it.

As I dilligently ask, where is the Unlocked AWS UMTS version for use on T-Mobile's very high speed network? I am through with Verizon, be gone with ye! Oh well, ill keep dreaming... looks like its EDGE data with Pre 3 for me.

I just can't find justification in buying another webos phone when I can spend the same or less $ to get an Android phone, with more features and more future.

I don't want to get anyone's hopes up but the other day I talked to a girl at the sprint counter in the mall and asked her if she had heard anything about any new palm/hp phones and she told me straight out that a palm/hp rep stopped by and told her that they should be getting the pre3 at the end of the summer! I asked her how sure she was and she told me that she was the one that talked directly to the rep so, even though I know its hard to believe, she just kind of came right out with it like it was old news. She also said that since the second quarter of the year already started, and that sprint likes releasing new phones in the beginning of the quarter, that I should check back towards the beginning of the 3rd quarter, so that would be July I guess!!!

I got tired of waiting with my 7th replacement Pre, having originally purchased on launch day with Sprint.. I picked up an HTC Evo Shift 4G a couple of weeks ago.. Even though I swore I would hate Android, based on playing with devices in the store, I've found it to be quite capable.. After rooting it and running CM7 on it, replacing the launcher with GO Launcher EX, and doing tons of other things -- I am loving this phone more than I did my Pre. There's just so much stuff that can be done with it, especially so if its rooted.. Great fit, great build quality, excellent touch keyboard, with a slide out physical for good measure (that I really haven't had to use because of the touch functionality) - it was a great replacement for my Pre -- and it does one thing that Palm never fixed -- and thats pair with my Nissan bluetooth properly.

I still play around with the Pre on WiFi now -- meta-doctored it to 2.1.0, and have it running at 1Ghz now that I don't rely on it.. Still fun to play with -- but not as much fun as I've been having with the Shift.

Absolutely will not leave Sprint because of a phone. If there's no Pre3 on the black and yellow, then I'll get the Nexus S. Sorry, but $80 is as high as I go.

Want on SPRINT!!!

Sprint has a habit of being notoriously quiet about what it will offer. With all the 'Stingray', 'Mantaray', or the keypadless Pre, I was hoping that they were clues for a Pre 3 4G, not a completely different phone and maybe that is what Sprint is holding out on offering. It seems they try to offer something a little different than the rest such as the Kyocera Echo dual screen.

All of you complaining about the new HP/PALM phones need to shut up and stop complaining. I had a pre minus with sprint when it first came out . I loved the phone on paper (specs sheet) but actually using it was horrible. I guarantee the same will happen with the pre 3.it sounds amazing but in the end it will be horrible like HP. Sprint gave up on that company because they made horrible phones and cost sprint money. I'm glad sprint isn't getting new HP phones because that would be such a waste. I now have an HTC EVO and am sooo much happier. WebOS is awesome. But the **** company HP/PALM and their crappy phone building just ruined the whole experience for me.let Verizon get the new HP phones. They will start realizing why Sprint wants nothing to do with HP . Freakin cry babies in this forum. Go jump ship to Verizon already and stop crying.
