Happy Birthday To Me (Part Deux): The Redux

Last week I mentioned I was thinking about buying the Palm Pre and this week I did. I called yesterday to pre-order from Sprint. My Pre will arrive 2-5 business days after it's released on June 6th.

I had my doubts, but was sold after I watched this 26-minute long demo. The only issues I'm remotely concerned about are availability of apps (Apple's App Store has spoiled me) and the fact that it doesn't have a virtual keyboard.

The demo is above.

Whatever Jonesy Wants, Jonesy Gets. And Little Smartphone Jonesy Wants You.

Sprint announced today that it will be the launch partner for the Palm Pre. The phone is scheduled to drop on June 6th. I'll buy it as a late birthday gift to myself. The Pre is supposed to compete with the iPhone. We'll see about that.
