While we were hoping that the Pre will land on Verizon Wireless early next year thestreet.com has reported that Verizon would not get the Palm Pre at all. If it’s true, it’s going to be a major setback for Palm. What’s the reason for Verizon not to carry the Pre? Because Palm can’t ship over 1 million mark? Come on. How many of other brands you are carrying now do over 1 million? The Pre is the only phone in the market today that can actually go head to head with the iPhone.
I am hoping Scott Moritz is wrong on this one. Otherwise, the iPhoneless Verizon is making a big mistake. Sure they can try to sell more Blackberry Storm. But there are just not enough Blackberry fans out there to support the growth of Blackberry. In other words, they need some cool devices that prevent people switching to AT&T for the iPhone. Seriously, the only reason that I am not with Verizon yet is because they don’t have anything close the iPhone. Once again I am disappointed and have to stay away from Verizon longer until they have something like the Pre to offer. Let’s keep our fingers crossed.
