AT&T to sell Palm Pre when Sprint's exclusivity ends?
Share:
The Pre being sold by Sprint uses CDMA technology which would not be compatible with AT&T. However, earlier this year Palm said that it would be manufacturing a UMTS version which would allow AT&T to offer the smartphone.

Now, I'm going to chose not to believe that last statement that Sprint is manufacturing UMTS versions of the Palm Pre. With that said, why the heck wouldn't Verizon get this phone? Sprint and Verizon both work on CDMA!

Looks as if they will.... http://www.engadgetmobile.com/
2009/05/28/verizon-wireless-to-carry-palm-pre-storm-2-in-about-six-mo nths/ I can't wait to see the change in tone about the Pre now that the two biggest US carriers are rumored to get it or something similar.

What do you mean about the tone? I hope you're referring to all the Palm Pre bashing that goes on merely because it's not on someone's preferred network. I, on the other hand, love what I've heard about the Plam Pre and simply hope that it comes to Verizon as soon as possible.
