Canadian Palm Pre Launching On Bell THIS MONTH?
| by PalmWebOS.org on June 11th, 2009 |
It is officially official that Bell will be the exclusive Canadian carrier for the Palm Pre – that we already know. But the only release date we had up until this point was “2nd Half of 2009″. It appears that date may have moved up to the 1st Half of 2009 as MobileSyrup is reporting a possible June launch.
File this FIRMLY in your rumor bin as the correspondence strating the rumor is merely an online sales and customer service rep. However, they do state TWICE with quite confidence that the Palm Pre will launch before the month’s end:

I’m not too confident in this rumor, but if it DID happen it would make our Canadian readers amazingly happy I’m sure. So… I’ll keep my fingers crossed!

While I’m not one to take a CSR’s word at face value, the release of the Pre on Bell within the next few weeks wouldn’t surprise me. They’ve been advertising it on their front page for a while now… something they generally wouldn’t do more than 6 weeks in advance of the release.
If they don’t release the Pre this month, I’d expect it to almost certainly appear by mid-July.

This is great, my 3-yr contract with bell is ending next month, just in time to get a new phone.
