6 months like phonescoop was saying
And at that point Sprint will have the next generation Pre so it won't matter. The deal between Sprint and Palm is for future Web0S phones too. That's coming from Palm too.

"We have the exclusive for the next 2 weeks!"

THAT will be their "exclusive" IF they continue waiting 🤣 Get yours BEFORE the year ends (and before Verizon checks their mailbox)!
