If I were Hesse, I would announce the Pre/Sprint deal on Monday June 8th, right before Apple's presentation. ]]>Jun 5th 2009 12:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/sprints-dan-hesse-verizon-needs-to-check-its-facts-on-pre-ex/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/sprints-dan-hesse-verizon-needs-to-check-its-facts-on-pre-ex/Jun 5th 2009 12:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/sprints-dan-hesse-verizon-needs-to-check-its-facts-on-pre-ex/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/sprints-dan-hesse-verizon-needs-to-check-its-facts-on-pre-ex/Jun 5th 2009 12:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/sprints-dan-hesse-verizon-needs-to-check-its-facts-on-pre-ex/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/sprints-dan-hesse-verizon-needs-to-check-its-facts-on-pre-ex/
give palm/sprint some time to gloat, because for all we know, a new iPhone announcement can put a big damper into all of this. ]]>Jun 5th 2009 12:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/sprints-dan-hesse-verizon-needs-to-check-its-facts-on-pre-ex/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/sprints-dan-hesse-verizon-needs-to-check-its-facts-on-pre-ex/
However, I do think it was pretty bitchy of them to do this to Palm. This is a company they want to do business with, and Palm needs every sale they can get right now. If people are going to sit on their wallets too long, Palm may not even exist to release a Pre on Verizon, AT&T or anywhere else.

That being said, I don't think this comment by Hesse matters at all. The horse is already out of the barn. The people who are going to wait, are going to wait.]]>Jun 5th 2009 1:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/sprints-dan-hesse-verizon-needs-to-check-its-facts-on-pre-ex/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/sprints-dan-hesse-verizon-needs-to-check-its-facts-on-pre-ex/
Apple could announce an upgraded iFart application at WWDC and it would drown out any other news. So this was the only time to reach out and spread that the little nugget before the lemmings all ran to their local apple store for their fix.]]>Jun 5th 2009 2:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/sprints-dan-hesse-verizon-needs-to-check-its-facts-on-pre-ex/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/sprints-dan-hesse-verizon-needs-to-check-its-facts-on-pre-ex/Jun 5th 2009 2:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/sprints-dan-hesse-verizon-needs-to-check-its-facts-on-pre-ex/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/sprints-dan-hesse-verizon-needs-to-check-its-facts-on-pre-ex/
if there's any discrepancy that what Verizon said is not true, then why spread it? I'm glad that at least Hesse had some balls to come out and call Verizon on it. ]]>Jun 5th 2009 4:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/sprints-dan-hesse-verizon-needs-to-check-its-facts-on-pre-ex/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/sprints-dan-hesse-verizon-needs-to-check-its-facts-on-pre-ex/Jun 5th 2009 5:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/sprints-dan-hesse-verizon-needs-to-check-its-facts-on-pre-ex/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/sprints-dan-hesse-verizon-needs-to-check-its-facts-on-pre-ex/Jun 13th 2009 12:53PM
