Everyone, take notice: Sprint is very serious about not letting any tantalizing details leak about the upcoming Palm Pre. Apparently, the struggling wireless carrier cannot afford having any good, free press wrote about them. From what we hear, at least three retail employees have been let go for speaking about the Palm Pre outside the store’s walls.
The employees violated an NDA signed during the hiring process and therefore had to be let go. It’s dumbfounding that a company would lock down info so tight about a product that has already been announced, handled, and in the wild anyway. We pretty much know everything about the Palm Pre at this point besides the price and release date. And even that info doesn’t seem that important in the long run to fire people over. I mean, we’re going to find out about it eventually anyway.
What could they have been talking about?
I don’t think it’s going to happen.
Why would you announce something back in January and now (5 months later) have nothing to sell? To me it sounds like a ploy to keep our interest in something that may not even exist.
So I ask, “Palm, where is this new phone you have been bragging about?”
I’m already tired of the Pre. I cared two months ago, when I thought it might come out soon.
But that was TWO MONTHS AGO. Couldn’t give a crap now. Sorry Palm, you hyped it up too soon.
