PDAs, Cellphones, Wireless After a whole boatload of rumours, Twitter posts, and what not, we finally have an official release date for Palm's Pre, the phone and platform that is supposed to save Palm from a fairly certain doom. Sprint, Palm's partner announced the release date, pricing information, and plans today, with Palm's official blog following soon after.

The answer to my prayers?

Well for $650 US, I think I'll wait for the price to drop, but that pretty much is my ideal phone.

EDIT: Well, it seems it lacks a physical slide out keyboard. So, its not what I want. Even at 650. D'oh

If you want to use the web or youtube you don't want that anyway, it uses European 3G standards which means you'll be stuck at slow dial-up speeds on North American GSM networks.
