Reviews so far look good:

Palm yesterday unveiled their new "Pre" phone at CES, the device sporting integrated Wi-Fi, GPS, a 3.1-inch 24-bit color 480 x 320 display, slide out QWERTY keyboard and more, as usual explored in great detail by the gadget blogs Engadget and Gizmodo. Palm also finally unveiled their long-awaited new mobile operating system they say is "cloud-centric, not desktop-centric." Overall, opinions of the device so far seem very positive, and investors certainly liked the news. Rumors so far peg the Palm Pre's price tag at more than $200, with a release date sometime in the first half of this year. Most interesting to us is that Palm chose Sprint as their launch partner, despite the carrier's recent customer service problems. Thoughts?

Sprint makes a
bit of sense to me. The GSM crowd is gaga with Android and iPhones. The other CDMA carrier, VZW, seems hardcore into Blackberries, Windows-Mobile, and BREW phones with which to lock users into their 'service offerings'. On top of that, it'll take at least six months for VZW "Engineers" to QA the Pre on their network.
