Whether it means the Pre is weeks or months away is anyone’s guess, but Sprint employees have now started gettin’ comfy with the devices. There’s not much more to it than that, really – here’s how its all gone down so far:
Sprint E-mail: “Employees can expect training to start in April as well as multiple communications to get them excited and ready to help our customers.”
PreThinking: Hey! It’s April now! Did training start?
Sprint E-mail: “I would like to inform that Sprint is in the process of providing the training for the new Palm Pre. Once it’s launched, Sprint will be ready to serve their valued customers regarding the Palm Pre.”
Simple as that – Sprint said training would start in April, and training started in April. Congratulations, Sprint Employees. You are joining the ranks of those allowed to touch the Pre without someone else holding the device, which was previously capped at about 10 people. Feel free to take pictures to document the occasion, and send them to our inbox.
It sounds like its pretty close..,maybe a month or so. Hopefully, it’ll give the iPhone a run for its money.
Yes! Give the iPhone a run for its money. If there is no competition against Apple, we’re doomed to shitty (well, not necessarily shitty, just the same one) devices forever.
given the fact i work for sprint and no one in the store has been given any information about training on the pre…i call BS!
everyone in the store had to compete to be chosen as the advocate for the pre. every location/store has 1 advocate. not even the advocate in the store is aware of when training will start.
