Sprint has finally decided to kill off the Palm Pre. It has been around for over 18 months now, wow amazing right?! It was first released to Sprint as an exclusive. Most of the people here that love or hate the Pre – well it is time to either suck up and buy one or let it fade away into Sprint’s netherlands!
A little in the history of the device. It was originally designed as an iPhone killer, to compete with the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS. Obviously, it was not that great of a killer, but it did hit home with a lot of people for the ability of multi-tasking, and modern OS style. Now we hear of the Pre 2, and several other phones being lined up in the European Countries. We have heard Rumors of the Pre2 coming to Verizon, but no word yet if any other US carrier will receive the new Palm device.
With the end of Pre love on Sprint, what does this mean for their fan based users? Is it time to either jump ship to a new carrier, or just time to switch platforms? If Sprint does not bring it back, what guess would be made as of the reason why?
