A Short-Lived Romance?
Whether or not the Pre can help Sprint pull in new customers may soon be moot.
"Sprint does not have exclusivity with the Pre," IDC's Reith pointed out. "I expect that within the first year, we'll see another device with webOS -- or the Pre itself -- on another carrier."

What are you talking about at&t has mail in rebates also, check the e71x and the matrix pro, both have mail in rebates, get correct info before you open your mouth.

i did not say that everyone did not have MIR, i said they hate them...and the fact that the new iphone will be released days after this say good bye to anyone buying it for 3 hundred and be forced onto a high tier plan..epic fail. i will go as far to say that there will be no lines at all for the Palm Pre. Thats how low demand will be for a $299 phone (wait for the $100 rebate 8 weeks). Plus a 2 year contract on a cheapest $60 plan. Demand will not be high.

Who are you? Grouchy Smurf? Do you have anything better to do with your time than troll the Sprint forum trying to tear down Sprint? If one did not know better one might think that you are worried about Sprint?

Hesse is tearing down sprint all on his own, he's by far the worst CEO to date...

lol, good point. Here's why no explaination is given: Sgt_Joker is a Verizon Rep. No matter what you say or do, Verizon will always be better in his opinion. You can pull out coverage maps and point out all of the places (and there are a lot) that Verizon does NOT work, and he will refute you with same line of bull that Verizon is far superior.

Hesse was the CEO of the old AT&T Wireless in the late 1990s and brought on the beginning of the end after AT&T Wireless' peak year of 1997. Hesse dug AT&T Wireless' grave, and John Zeglis through the carrier into it.
