Sprint has Palm Pre exclusive through 2009 | Crave - CNET

Sprint has Palm Pre exclusive through 2009 | Crave - CNET. I have been jonesing for the new Palm Pre, and have been disappointed that Sprint will have an exclusive on it for a period of time. However, now that my carrier, Verizon Wireless, has announced that it will be carrying the Pre in 2010, and the 6 month exclusivity period for Sprint is confirmed, I am a happy guy. In fact, it is generally best to wait 6 months after the introduction of a new phone, so that the early adopters can get the bugs out. In this instance, Verizon's conservative adoption strategy seems to be a good one. So, Sprint, enjoy your brief 6 months with the Pre. After that time, a lot of your users will be jumping to Verizon Wireless, and I will be joining them.
