Drat! I was hoping this wouldn’t get out there too much. I wanted to have better chances of winning 🙂
@Tyler You can’t win, I want to! 😉
Julie: How about this–when I win, I promise I will write up an exclusive Gadgeteer review. Now put in a good word for me 😀
To me, this is the phone to beat right now. The iPhone is great but I really don’t like the way the UI works. I hate not being able to have categories for apps, a wallpaper on the app launcher, etc. My Centro is my favorite phone now, but I have to admit most of the Palm OS apps that are worth their salt are either old and kind of buggy on the Centro or expensive. I really, really wish iPhone-like pricing will make it’s way to the Pre. I would love to have a huge selection of games and other apps for 99cents. I would buy so much more software then. Right now, I have to pay $10 for Bejeweled when iPhone users can get the same game for $3? No thanks.
@Tyler I’m not sure we can really say the Pre is the phone to beat until we actually get our hands on one and test it out. 🙂 But that said, I’m soooooo looking forward to doing that asap.
We are also giving away a Palm Pre over at http://palmpreblog.com/win-a-palm-pre-follow-us-on-twitter-for-your-chance-to-win/, all you have to do to enter is follow @preblog on twitter and tweet “@PreBlog Enter Palm Pre Contest”
If we surpass 1000 followers on Twitter, which is looking very likely right now we are also going to give away a TouchStone Wireless Charger to a second winner.
It’s official: June 6th, $200 after 2-year agreement and rebates.

@Tyler I’m on the PR list to get one to review… 🙂 I can’t wait!
@Julie:
I envy you. I certainly hope it is all it’s cracked up to be. I hope either a GSM version follows soon or they release a different device for GSM, as has been rumored. A Centro replacement. Put me on the list for one of those!
Unfortunately Sprint has pretty poor coverage in my area. Nextel is great, but even though the two companies are now one my understanding is Nextel uses iDen network and Sprint uses CDMA…
@Tyler I definitely want a GSM version, Sprint coverage here isn’t very good. But I’ll be happy to get my hands on a Pre anyway I can 🙂
