Palm, Sprint Announce Wireless Plans for Pre

Posted by Ainsley Jones Mar 13, 2009 9:51:13 AM

There is still no word on exactly when Palm's Pre will be available from Sprint, but users can start budgeting for the device after the two companies released details of wireless plans for the device, which will be segmented into nine tiers of individual, family and business plans.

 

According to NetworkWorld, prices will range from $70 to $189 per month. Individuals will be able to choose 450 minutes or 900 minutes with an Everything Data plan or go with the Simply Everything plan. Similarly, families have the choice of 1,500- or 3,000-minute bundles or the all-inclusive plan. Businesses will have the option of pooling minutes using an unlimited plan.

 

No other plans will be available to Pre customers, MobileBurn reports. According to Sprint, 3G data speeds are critical to the Palm Pre experience.

 

In related Pre news, vnunet speculates that O2 could start selling the device in Europe as soon as this summer. Various reports claim Telefónica, O2's parent company, has been given exclusive rights to sell the phone in the UK, Spain and Latin America. Palm has dismissed the reports as rumor.
