HP Pre 3 World Phone Passes Through FCC

May 11, 2011 by Christopher Meinck Leave a Comment

The GSM Pre 3 already passed through the FCC and now comes a CDMA + GSM variant, which paves the way for the release of a world phone capable Pre 3. FCC materials describe this as supporting CDMA + FCC. That of course narrows down the release of the HP 3 being on either Verizon, Sprint or both. Our gut says it’ll be an exclusive with one carrier. This is a tough spot for Palm. Verizon is clearly the larger carrier, but so many webOS enthusiasts are Sprint customers.

Both the Pre 3 and Touchpad are scheduled for a summer release. Summer officially starts on June 21st.

Verizon Palm Pre 2 Now Free On Contract

April 5, 2011 by Christopher Meinck Leave a Comment

With the HP Pre 3 waiting in the wings, it’s increasingly difficult to move the Pre 2. As a result, HP Wireless is selling the Pre 2 for the price of free. You’ll need to give up 2 years of your wireless life, but you’ll also receive a free Touchstone, Vehicle Charger, Power Adapter and Palm Pre side case. All in all, a really nice bundle. Is it worth giving up on waiting for the Pre 3? That’s the question.

Verizon Makes HP Pre 2 Official, Priced at $149.99 After Rebate

February 15, 2011 by Christopher Meinck Leave a Comment

We all knew it was coming, but Verizon today dropped the press release for the HP Pre 2, which features webOS 2.0. Full presser and specs available after the break. The HP Pre 2 is priced at $149.99 (after a $50 mail-in rebate) and a new 2-year agreement. It is available starting on February 17th. We have to say the price is a bit surprising. Both the Verizon iPhone and the HP Pre 2 will carry a $199.99 in-store price tag before rebates. This could spell tough sledding for the Pre 2.

Verizon HP Pre 2 Now Available For Pre-Order

February 10, 2011 by Christopher Meinck Leave a Comment

HP now offers the Verizon HP Pre 2 for pre-order on their site. The HP Pre 2 is priced at $99.99, with a new 2-year agreement. The HP Pre 2 starts shipping on February 17th. We were unable to locate the Pre 2 on Verizon’s website, so you’ll need to go directly through HP if you’re looking to order now.

It appears the Pre 2 has also shed the Palm name.

Verizon Palm Pre 2 Coming February 17th?

February 4, 2011 by Christopher Meinck Leave a Comment

Remember the Palm Pre 2? The phone announced in October of last year for Verizon Wireless. If the screenshot of a Verizon inventory system rings true, the Palm Pre 2 will land on Verizon Wireless on February 17th and will be priced at $100 after rebate. That’s a full four months after the initial announcement.

To say the Palm Pre 2 is late to the party would be an understatement. With all the hype surrounding next week’s big Think Big event, we have to wonder if Palm is going to deliver that superphone it so desperately needs. We’re stating the obvious, but won’t the Palm Pre 2 get suffocated by the Verizon iPhone, not to mention a shelf filled with Android devices. Worse yet, this release date comes after the Verizon iPhone launch on February 10th, after the HTC Thunderbolt release on February 13th and after Valentine’s Day.

Say it ain’t so. The only thing worse in recent history was Verizon’s decision to target soccer moms.

How you can support homebrew software development

November 23, 2010 by Christopher Meinck Leave a Comment

Over the past weekend, HP/Palm hosted a developer conference in NYC. Traveling over 30 hours to take part was Rod Whitby, the gentleman behind webos-internals. If you’ve found yourself putting your Palm Pre (or Pixi) in developer mode and downloading Preware, then you’ve been using software developed by webos-internals. As you can imagine, it gets rather expensive to purchase new phones, which is required to offer support for the rather large homebrew community. To help support the movement and purchase of new phones needed, they are in the midst of a campaign drive. If you’ve found their software useful, you can donate here. The group has already started work on updating patches to work in webOS 2.0.
