Sprint Account Services says no to order pre over phone

I had a conversation with Sprint’s Account Services and they claim that you can not order the Palm Pre through them. The only place you can get it is at Walmart, Sprint Store, Best Buy or Radioshack. This a true disappointment for those customers that have been classified as Premier customers. Premier customers get first dibs on new phones… With this, that is not the case. The Account Service rep told me that I will have to stand in line to get the phone (lines ha they are really expecting the phone to be hot.. sprint also expect lines for the initial release of instinct.) Of course this phone is more hyped and are expecting a shortage. I guess I will be in line Saturday morning. They better have enough phones to meet initial demand.

ATT takes a shot at Sprints Palm Pre


Many of you may have already seen this (image from precentral.com) but if not AT&T is taking a shots at Sprints Palm Pre claiming it doesn’t come close to what AT&T/Apple iPhone has to offer. Granted AT&T offers many Wi-Fi hotspots and the Apple App store is very established, in the pre’s defense Sprints NOW Network is the fastest network out there. Also most of AT&T’s hotspots are in the large cities, where you are almost guaranteed to have perfect reception to use your carriers network. Hands down Apple App store wins, we just haven’t seen enough from the Pre. Speculations has been high, but frustration is also growing. Let’s all hope the Pre is released byMay 17.
