That data comes from an unidentified source, most likely some fan boy. There is no information about Palm sales in Ireland. Also for your information, Palm is estimated to have sold over 1 million Palm Pre phones at Sprint (and note that Sprint is quite small in comparison to Verizon). And the Sprint sales number does not include (for the most part) sales of the Palm Pixi smart phone which is quite affordable - and should sell quite well.

Verizon has already ordered 400,000 Palm Pre and Palm Pixi smart phones for the January 25, 2010 launch. These wireless companies replenish their inventories constantly as stock is depleted.

You may want to consider removing all of the postings from MOSN. He is a troll. He is using Engadget to provide links to his personally owned website. The "mobileosnews.com" site is owned by him. Here is a quote from him, posted on Jan 13, 2010 "@sonicyoof hay you could add my site to that list :) Mobileosnews.com , I get about 20post a day,..."

I hope his posts and this post by me is down-ranked so it does not appear on the Palm Pre blog.]]>Jan 22nd 2010 8:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/palms-pre-plus-and-pixi-plus-slipping-into-best-buy-locales-eve/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/palms-pre-plus-and-pixi-plus-slipping-into-best-buy-locales-eve/Jan 22nd 2010 10:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/palms-pre-plus-and-pixi-plus-slipping-into-best-buy-locales-eve/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/palms-pre-plus-and-pixi-plus-slipping-into-best-buy-locales-eve/Jan 22nd 2010 11:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/palms-pre-plus-and-pixi-plus-slipping-into-best-buy-locales-eve/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/palms-pre-plus-and-pixi-plus-slipping-into-best-buy-locales-eve/Jan 22nd 2010 5:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/palms-pre-plus-and-pixi-plus-slipping-into-best-buy-locales-eve/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/palms-pre-plus-and-pixi-plus-slipping-into-best-buy-locales-eve/
Too little too late I'm afraid. I was a Palm user/fan for many years but recently decided to go Droid rather than wait for the Pre to come to VZW. Palm is destined to be the first victim of Android success, and Windows Mobile will be second. The market in two years will be all iPhone, Droid, and Crackberry. ]]>Jan 22nd 2010 5:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/palms-pre-plus-and-pixi-plus-slipping-into-best-buy-locales-eve/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/palms-pre-plus-and-pixi-plus-slipping-into-best-buy-locales-eve/

Palm may not make it, but I think WinMo will die first actually. I can't really think of any new WinMo phones that have just come out that are at all impressive. Palm phones are actually fun to use and are expanding their capabilities.

that doesnt make it any good as battery has always been a issue with palm pres. most cellphones last longer than that on heavy use.

"..a concerned consumer." You are not a concerned consumer, you are a Nokia fan boy.

The Pre's battery life has already been improved significantly (with the webOS 1.3.5 update in December 2009), I can now browse the Internet intensively and continuously for over 5 hours and still have hours more of use before charging the phone. Or listen to hours of music and do other things and still go for 24 hours before charging, etc.]]>Jan 22nd 2010 6:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/palms-pre-plus-and-pixi-plus-slipping-into-best-buy-locales-eve/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/palms-pre-plus-and-pixi-plus-slipping-into-best-buy-locales-eve/
If i am a nokia fanboy then you are a palm fanboy...What's your point?

Palm Pre's battery life hasn't improved with that update either. When you off the charger for 10 min, you are down to 91% again with no usage.
