Sprint’s just made a silent change to their Palm Pre press release to take out the fact that the phone would be available on Sprint.com. Because it won’t. Here’s what the release used to say:
Palm Pre will be available nationwide on June 6 in Sprint stores, Best Buy, Radio Shack, select Wal-Mart stores and online at Sprint.com for $199.99 with a two-year service agreement and after a $100 mail-in rebate.
Here’s what it says now:
Palm Pre will be available nationwide on June 6 in Sprint stores, Best Buy, Radio Shack, and select Wal-Mart stores** for $199.99 with a two-year service agreement and after a $100 mail-in rebate.
That’s fine—Sprint’s allowed to make whatever change and sell their phones wherever they want—but people who were planning on staying home and ordering online will be pretty surprised when they discover that they need to put some clothes on and run to Best Buy. [palmpre.org]
