Palm Pre Specs

Per the Manufacturer, below are a list of Specs for the new Palm Pre which hit stores on May 19th.

It is currently exclusively only sold at Sprint for $199 after rebate, but is rumored to be coming to Verizon Wireless in January 2009. It must be a hot phone when Sprint sold out of them in the opening weekend, and if Apple is cutting the price of their current iPhone 3G to $99, which was announced yesterday. Nonetheless, the debate will live on through the end of 2009 if whether the new Palm phone is a lame duct attempt at being an "iPhone killer."
