Verizon Wireless recently announced that it also expects to sell the Apple iPhone competitor Palm
Pre, originally thought to be a long term exclusive for Sprint only. Verizon said, "Over the next six months or so you will see
devices like Palm Pre and a second generation Rim Storm." Verizon didn't provide more
specific details regarding the launch of either device, but this comes on the
news that AT&T will also be selling a version of the Pre when Sprint's
exclusivity runs out. Since Verizon expects to have the Pre within six months,
that means Sprint's exclusive deal to sell the Pre can't be longer than that.
Sprint Nextel Corp is launching the Palm Pre exclusively on June 6, 2009.
