Pre on Sprint May 17th?

[blindkangaroo]

Rumours have it that the Pre might be released on Sprint in the US on May 17th. Anyone have a guess when we might see it in Canada, maybe with Bell?

Palm Pre costs $138 to build claim analysts:

"Given the ***umption is that Palm will charge exclusive carrier Sprint $300 per handset, and that Sprint will retail the Pre for around $200 after a rebate, the analysts figure Palm’s overall cut being a healthy 44-percent, after paying for software licensing and royalties. iSuppli has used the two known suppliers - Texas Instruments for the Pre’s OMAP processor, at $11 a piece, and Qualcomm for the wireless connectivity, at $15.41 - and then extrapolated the rest.

The most expensive component is expected to be the multitouch-capable screen, and iSuppli have come up with a figure of $39.51, while the 8GB of flash storage comes in at $15.96 and the 3-megapixel camera at $12.39. Patents and royalties are figured at $22.61, though the analysts have declined to comment on which companies it believes Palm will pay out to."

It'll have to cost less that 199.00 on a plan if they want to take a serious run at the iphone.

^ I 100% agree with that.. if they don't then what is the point. The iPhone can do it all and this is still the first gen Pre

If we exported the 1P***wd entries to the html file, could the Palm Pre read that via browser? Might be at a way to read the 1P***wd entries? Any one try this. I plan on getting a Palm Pre. For now I do a sync with my iPod touch.
