Well, Twitter has become the pinnacle of gossip, grapevine chatter, and frankly, just good ol’ breaking news. Yesterday, Palm made a very subjective statement through the company’s Twitter account in response to the question about Visual Voicemail: “Palm Synergy presents integrated messaging in lots of useful ways, but not that particular way”. From the statement, it does not look like Palm’s Pre will have Visual Voicemail out of the box when it hits stores and our pockets on June 6th. It’s a shame, really, but as pointed out by PreCentral, if that specific application is truly sought after, the development community will have no issues churning out the Visual Voicemail that will entice the masses.
So, Palm Pre hopefuls and fanboys, is this news a deal-breaker or will you be able to get passed the notion of not actually seeing the messages before listening to them?

Check the price of Palm Pre on Best Buy :-)
Best Buy prices Palm Pre for $849.99! Is this a joke?
do a search for other phones, and you’ll find that they’re all in there for their list price, not the price you actually pay. I have a hard time believing that people pay $369.99 for the EnV 2
No joke

I couldn’t give a crap about this tiny-screened, low-res, cramped keyboard, overhyped, took too long to come out yet still feels rushed phone.
Tell me about the Touch Pro 2 coming to Sprint. That’s a piece of hardware I could actually get some good use out of. Large screen. High res. Large keyboard, and features that actually do something for me instead of existing to be “cool” and “synergystic.”
According to the website, NO sprint stores in Pittsburgh have the special store hours. I’m thinking that there will be Pre’s in Pittsburgh… or this will be an interesting launch.
how can a phone that is supposed to be a flagship phone not have visual voicemail… Sprint needs to know that this is a very useful tool and needs to be included in a software push very, very soon!
