Our friend Daniel in Durham, North Carolina, got to attend something nice at his local Sprint Store. The rep that Palm had dispatched to the store decided that Sunday evening would be the perfect time for a class about the Palm Pre for all the new owners out there. Daniel attended and reported back to us that a Sprint rep told the class that Palm would be adding full Yahoo synchronization to Synergy within the next few weeks, even including calendar (and presumably bringing Yahoo mail, contacts, and IM into the mix as well). The Palm rep took several questions from the attendees and those that she couldn’t answer she got contact information and was going to talk to her superiors at Palm HQ to see if they could provide the answer.

They even gave out swag! Check out the sweet aluminum water bottle Daniel snagged at the class - and then took a picture of with his new Pre!

This is the first we’ve heard of Palm reps setting up classes at their assigned Sprint stores. From the comments we're seeing here, it looks like several stores nationwide had similar Pre classes - it's good to see Palm and Sprint taking the initiative to be interactive with their customers!

Correction: A Sprint rep at the store said that Yahoo was coming to Synergy, not the Palm Rep (she had nothing to do with the Yahoo talk). Apologies for any confusion/disappointment.
