[...] would launch the device any later than the end of May – and there is still time left for Jim Van’s April 30th Prediction to ring true. What do YOU [...]

I went to the LOGICOMM web site, and I decided to call Mr. Van. The web site looks cheap, so I had doubts that the CEO of this company would know anything.

Call Us: 401.354.2220

THE NUMBER IS INVALID… FOR THIS REASON I SUSPECT STRONGLY THAT THIS IS A HOAX.

I am waiting for pre first day on the market I have a storm and not happy with it!

I don’t want to pay another month Verizon is pricey I have tried the 900 min route and that is not working with Sprint
I can enroll with all in one package and still pay less!

so Hurry!

He did not say it would be released to the public. He said it was released. That could mean from his contract, from the beta test team, or released to manufacturing.

It means, from the time it goes final from testers, to the time it hits stores, is most likely going to be 90-150 days.

We won’t see the Pre on shelves until July.

hey! awesome research and very detailed. I appreciate u looking into jim’s info and that jim responded to it quickly and kindly even if we are driving him crazy about the pre I don’t doubt that jim’s legit but i’ll continue to wonder if the info about april 30 will turn out to be true. if it does turn out to be true, no complaints from me as for his info on the price, I’m still hoping the price will be less than 299 with contract. that’s gonna be pretty steep espcially considering the 8gb iphone is 199. thanks again jim for keeping us informed! I hope u won’t get annoyed too much about the nay sayers and just know that u are appreciated.

A God? I dunno…the person who told me @sprint was rather low-level, tho they seemed pretty matter of fact about it.

Now, do I get tarred and feathered if they hold off till June?

BTW-the little I’ve been able to play with it (I seem 2 be spending a lot of time on Twitter all of a sudden…), I love it as much as I loved my old Palm III back in its heyday. These guys got it right, IMHO. Of course, it still needs to withstand a bunch of my mishandling….

There is tons of good info, from what I’ve seen, out there via a little Google mastery. It’s amazing the hype this thing is creating!
