Pre Release Date: June 7th? 47
Today's release date rumor comes courtesy of Coal over at SprintGurus, who posts the above internal document listing several Sprint handsets. More to the point, Coal writes:
For those asking about the Pre, there are 2 release windows, one is around 6/7/09 - the other I cannot say much on.
This lines up quite well with the timeline we're building in our head after today's UPS Shipping rumor. It also, as PreCentral.net forum member LurkMoar notes, matches up with the other rumor today about when the Palm Pre Protest Guy campaign is slated to finish. In other words, we're officially calling the May 17th rumor dead in the water and pinning our hopes and dreams on June 7th.
The idea of there being two release windows also rings true -- there seems to be a pattern of Palm internally setting preliminary release dates and then hedging them just in case something happens to push it back. The last thing Palm wants to do is let a release date slip and then get accused of having delays. So, as tough as it is, we're happy that Palm is keeping to the official line of "First Half of 2009," we just hope that soon they'll be confident enough to get a little more specific.

ooooooo. Is that trash talk? It seems a little silly for someone to trash talk on other boards just because you are a fanboy. You must work for Apple. lol
Or is that Smack, not Trash. I'll have to go back and watch that episode of The Office where Kelly explains the difference. That was hilarious.
You can find them at Michael's Craft Store, that is the only place I have seen them other than little shops and kiosks in the malls where I live (Cleveland).

Did I miss something on that document?
Only thing I see about the Pre is the demo added on 2/9/09...
Anyway, this works for me!
Even closer to the end of my AT&T contract, which is in June! ;)
@BIP and Showson1, Coal provided a general document and added his comments (quoted in the article above) "For those asking about the Pre, there are 2 release windows, one is around 6/7/09 - the other I cannot say much on." His comments were in his post, not on the document.
@ALdo. ALdo, all those dates were rumors. Sprint and Palm gave you a time frame. If you are tired of waiting, hit the road. There is no reason to rant and rave because Palm and Sprint are releasing the phone when they said there were going to. Seriously, if you are this worked up and mad, go get a new Instinct S30 or whatever and use it to call an anger management therapist.
Would you please stop spamming your website link on everything Pre related that you can find?
The inside.sprint.now guy says it is very soon so who knows? That would be a heck of a shipping feat to get them here, in the stores, and to get employees trained and ready in a week... I doubt it.
But a big advertising campaign starting in the next week or two? That sounds likely.
This would an in your face move. It's also line that would put a nail in Palm imho. First the Pre is hobbled by not at least having the same max storage at the Iphone 3G. Top that off If they debut on the 7th we now have a comparison between the Pre and a soon to be discontinued product for Apple. Granted we don't know what Apple will do at the WWDC. The educated guess is though we will hear about a new Iphone model.
Now if they release it say May 7th we have a winner here. A full month before Apple will announce. All that buzz for the Pre. Demos, apps ect on morning tv shows. That and that there is supposed to be the UP trailer would be a better way to tweak APPLE.
June 7th might be the drop dead date if there is a snafu at the last minute.
I thought they said that Pre needs unlimited data for it to work optimal. While I agree, doesnt that mean that for us lucky souls who already have Free Data Packs on our plans are in clear to get Pre.

They could be complaining about the non-Federal Federal Reserve, which has been robbing the American people for many years now.
