My own Pre suffered from some technical issues earlier this week (Monday)  and I immediately took it to my nearest Sprint store and had them order me a new one

The phone will set cost you back €481 (around $710USD or £450) without contract, or with the O2 My Handy option letting you finance it via 24 monthly payments of €20 (around £18 or $29USD). Either way, small price to pay for technological perfection, right? I know… I know… I’m a little biased

Verizon stated before the initial launch of the Pre on Sprint that they would snag the highly anticipated phone (or a similar webOS device) by early 2010, at the end of Sprint’s 6 month exclusivity

In the months that have followed, Apple and Palm have battled back and forth on the issue, with the latest iTunes stopping the sync ability with the Palm Pre.

Currently T-Mobile is ranked fourth, and a merger would put the two companies in line to challenge AT&T for their second-place position.

It’s very likely that Apple and Palm will go back and forth on this for eternity, but as of right now iTunes 9 does not support the Pre

Today Sprint made that announcement, but instead of the rumored $50, Sprint is taking another $100 off in the form of credit taken off the monthly bill for customers switching from another carrier only. (Sorry Sprint customers, no deal for you.) This may be Sprint’s best move (aside from locking down 2 of the most talked about phones of the summer Palm Pre and HTC Hero) because a lot of people who may think the Pre is a great phone are still scared of switching to Sprint who in the past years has had some rough patches to say the least

I jest… of course it’s not missing anything but the included documentation surely left gaping holes that needed to be filled, right? At least that’s what O’Reilly thinks and that’s why they’ve released: Palm Pre: The Missing Manual , a 287-page book that claims it can teach you everything you need to know about your new Pre.

The P121VZW and the P101VZW. The P101VZW could very well be the Verizon Wireless neutered modified Palm Pre since we already know that the Pre carries the model number P101.
