We’ve known that the hugely anticipated handset was promised in the first half of 2009 and, with the six month period running out, leaked sales staff training instructions a few weeks back and a casting call for the promotional ad to air in June, it would seem to fit. The really ballsy part, if it’s true, is the utter confidence Palm must have in their product to think they can overshadow whatever Apple decides to launch in the way of a new iPhone the following day. There’s been a few rumours that it’s a tablet and low end iPhone we’ll be seeing in which case the Pre would stand out. Perhaps a few of the ex-Apple employees over at Palm still have some buddies on the inside.

This weekend I saw a friend of mine who is a consultant for a number of telecom companies and who spends a lot of time in Kansas City (Sprint's HQ). When I asked him point blank when the Pre was launching he said "in a few weeks" pretty confidently. "A few weeks" (on April 25th) sounds like a May launch to me.

I heard only 200K handsets would be available at launch so as far as sales they better book then before the IPhone launch otherwise the pundits will say it is no Iphone killer based on sales.

They'll announce very soon that pre-orders can be placed on the Pre, and Palm/Sprint is giving potential customers every possible chance to place an order, right up until the WWDC keynote when Apple will unveil the latest iPhone. So potential customers will have to make a choice: Pre-order, or wait until the new iPhone is unveiled and make a comparative choice. Having said that, this article is still based on speculation, so my conclusion may not end up being valid. Either way, I love seeing two fantastic smartphone releases just around the corner!
