Palm Pre headed to Verizon next year

29 July 2009 1:00 by Andre "DVDBack23" Yoskowitz | 3 comments

Verizon executives noted this week that the phone carrier will begin selling the Palm Pre in 2010, after the smartphone is no longer exclusive to Sprint.

Denny Strigl, Verizon�s president and operating chief, during a quarterly conference call with analysts, added that the company will also offer an updated Blackberry Storm and an Android-based phone. �You can expect to see a steady stream of attractive devices coming from Verizon Wireless,� he added, via the WSJ.

Strigl also noted that noticeable "negative impact" was seen in the company's sales when AT&T began selling the iPhone 3GS in June.

�When you think about what Apple has done in bringing the iPhone into the marketplace, it truly has accelerated innovation,� he said. �And as we talk to all of our manufacturers, everybody has come out with their own iconic device, and I think that this has been very good overall for our customers.�

Overall, Verizon posted 2Q earnings of $1.48 billion USD on revenue of $26.86 billion USD.

in this day in age it is a shame to see any hardware locked to a specific network. [ + quote]

Couldn't agree with you more. I mean don't these telcos understand that if a phone is available to ALL carriers, they could sell more of them? What the hell is the matter with them? I think everyone should speak up against these selfish, money-grubbing companies and demand better coverage and better prices. After all, nothing is going to be done about it until somebody speaks out against it. - BLUEBOY [ + quote]
