Sprint to Offer Palm Pre Nationwide on June 6
Digital- age- defining Palm webOS phone is built for consumers and businesses alike, powered by
America's most dependable nationwide 3G network, with the best price plan value
OVERLAND PARK, Kan.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May. 19, 2009-- Sprint (NYSE: S) today announced
®

pricing and nationwide availability for the highly anticipated Palm Pre™ phone, offered
exclusively from Sprint. Palm Pre will be available nationwide on June 6 in Sprint stores, Best
Buy, Radio Shack, and select Wal-Mart stores** for $199.99 with a two-year service agreement
and after a $100 mail-in rebate. Running on the new Palm webOS™ mobile platform, Pre brings
together your important information from where it resides – on your phone, at your work or on
(1)

the web – into one logical view.

For those who juggle life circa 2009 – bouncing from conference call to car pool schedule, from
doctors’ numbers to doctoral thesis data, from social calendars to social networking – Pre marks
a new wireless crossover standard. Before Pre, you had to compromise when selecting a wireless
phone. To get the business features you needed, you had to sacrifice the personal entertainment
features you wanted. Pre consolidates your important information – professional, social and
personal – into one revolutionary device using an operating system that redefines the experience
of living and working wirelessly.
“The argument that you need one phone for work and another phone for play, or that you have
to make compromises between business and lifestyle productivity, is over,” said Dan Hesse,
president and CEO of Sprint. “With Pre, compromises of the past are history.”
Palm Pre will run on America’s most dependable 3G network and come with Sprint’s industryleading, value-oriented Everything Data plans that offer savings of up to $1,430 over two years
vs. comparable AT&T and Verizon plans for smartphones and PDAs.(2)
“The Palm Pre takes full advantage of Sprint’s Everything Data plans,” said Avi Greengart,
research director for Consumer Devices at Current Analysis. “The Pre has been expressly
designed for multitasking among multiple web pages and applications. It also builds on Palm’s
heritage in PDAs by managing your digital information – whether that’s on a corporate server or
on the web.”
"The Pre's dynamic 'activity cards' approach to handling and navigating multiple applications is a
great advance, but the core breakthrough is the integration of information across multiple
applications on and off the phone," said Andy Castonguay, director of Mobile & Access Devices
Research, Yankee Group. "With social networking and messaging being so important to
consumers, the device’s new ‘Palm Synergy’ functionality – which gives Pre the ability to
automatically pull friends' contact details, messaging addresses and personal calendars from
different applications online and on the phone – will greatly simplify people's ability to
communicate with their friends and colleagues the way they want."

The new webOS platform introduces Palm Synergy™, a key feature that brings together your
personal and professional calendar, contacts and e-mail into one centralized view, making
transitions between work and personal life smooth and easy to manage.
With Palm Synergy, users get:
• Linked contacts – With Synergy, you have a single view that links your contacts from a
variety of sources, so accessing them is easier than ever. For example, if you have the
same contact listed in your Outlook(3), Google and Facebook accounts, Synergy recognizes
that they’re the same person and links the information, presenting it to you as one listing.
• Layered calendars – Your calendars can be seen on their own or layered together in a
single view, combining work, family, friends, sports teams, or other interests. You can
toggle to look at one calendar at a time, or see them all at a glance.
• Combined messaging – Synergy lets you see all your conversations with the same person
in a chat-style view, even if it started in IM and you want to reply with text messaging.
You can also see who’s active in a buddy list right from contacts or e-mail, and start a new
conversation with just one touch.
Palm webOS lets you keep multiple activities open and move easily between them like flipping
through a deck of cards. You can move back and forth between text messaging and e-mail, or
search the web while you listen to music. You can rearrange items simply by dragging them, and
when you are done with something, just throw it away by flicking it off the top of the screen.
Finding what you need is also easy with universal search – as you type what you’re looking for,
webOS narrows your search and offers results from both your device and the web.
crushes the barriers to true mobile computing.

WebOS

“Pre is truly a new phone for a new web-centric age,” said Ed Colligan, Palm president and chief
executive officer. “We’re a mobile society, and we want our people, calendars and information to
move with us. With Pre’s exquisite design and the unique webOS software, running on Sprint’s
fast broadband network, we’re changing the perception of what a wireless phone can be.”
Pre comes with a charger in the box, but for anyone tired of plugging a cord into their wireless
phone, Palm introduces the Touchstone™ charging dock, the first inductive charging solution for
phones, available exclusively for Pre. Simply set Pre down on top of the dock without worrying
about connection, orientation or fit. Pre is active while charging, so you can access the touch
screen, watch movies or video, or use the speakerphone. Set Pre on the charging dock when
you’re on a call, and the speakerphone automatically turns on; when you take a ringing Pre off
the dock, Pre automatically answers the call. Other mobile operating systems allow multitasking,
but Palm has developed an intuitive method of switching between "cards,” which resemble
clicking different tabs on a Web browser. New applications can be launched easily using the
"Launcher" software button at the bottom of the home screen, and users navigate between
different applications.
With nearly every wireless device today you have to exit one application completely before you
can use another. That’s not what people are accustomed to; think of your PC and all the
applications you can have open at one time.

Pre: The latest NOW Network milestone for Sprint
Pre also lets you access feature-rich Sprint content on the Sprint Now Network, including
exclusive applications such as:

• Sprint TV
• NASCAR Sprint Cup Mobile Live
“Sprint’s Now Network brings you America’s most dependable 3G network, the largest push-totalk community, and in selected markets Sprint is the only national carrier bringing 4G to life in
(6)

2009,” Hesse said. “The Now Network is more than just a physical network – it’s also data
plans that are all-inclusive, eliminating fear of data overages and a perfect fit for Palm Pre
users.”
Sprint’s networks are now performing at best-ever levels, and Sprint’s high-value Everything
data plans consistently beat AT&T’s and Verizon’s comparable plans in savings by hundreds,
even thousands, of dollars over two years. With the revolutionary launch of Ready Now, which
Sprint pioneered, customers leave the store educated, comfortable and confident about the
phones they’re about to take home. As a result of these measures and more, Sprint customer
satisfaction indices – from first call resolution to billing satisfaction, from customer care response
time to service and repair – have all significantly improved during the past year.
Pricing and Availability
The Palm Pre phone will be available from Sprint on June 6 for $199.99 after a $100 mail-in
rebate with a new two-year service agreement on an Everything Data plan or Business Essentials
with Messaging and Data plan. An array of compelling accessories also will be available for Pre,
including the Palm Touchstone charging dock. The Touchstone™ Charging Kit, which includes the
Touchstone charging dock and Touchstone back cover for Pre, will be available June 6 for
$69.99. The Touchstone charging dock and Touchstone back cover also are available separately
from Palm for $49.99 and $19.99, respectively.
