Sprint chief executive officer Dan Hesse: No Palm Pre for Verizon anytime soon
Well this sure puts an stopover to Verizon (New York Stock Exchange: VZ)’s title that they’ll rich person the Palm (NSDQ: PALM) Pre, as well as a BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) Storm 2, available on their net within about 6 months. Verizon recently made waves by publicly expression that they too would crack the Palm Pre in the near future, but the language used in the statement danced around any specific honorable mention of the Pre launch with Verizon in 2009. We now have confirmation straight from Sprint (NYSE: S) CEO Dan Hesse that Verizon’s financial statement on that substance is “just not the case.”
Neither Palm nor Sprint has commented on Sprint’s Palm Pre exclusivity point, and Hesse refused to directly confirm that Sprint’s Palm Pre exclusivity agreement with Palm was goodness for more than six months. Still, the likeable populace facing of Sprint did say that there’s “a good chance” [wink, wink] that the contract bridge covers Sprint into 2010.
To be fair, Verizon did say that they expect to rich person the Palm Pre “Over the next six months or so,” which gives the troupe a lot of wriggle room. Given Hesse’s latest statements, we might not see the Palm Pre on Verizon Wireless until well into 2010.
