palm-pre-webos-lgPalm Pre is out. The eager faces of the Palm Lovers has turned to a face of proud owners of the Pre. The faces at the lines for the new Palm Pre reminded us of those anxious faces at the Apple Store two years back but surely the number of Palm lovers fall well below the iPhone fanatics. Can Palm claw back the market share from Apple’s iPhone or RIM’s Blackberry?

Well, from the pricing issues, it seems that there is a definite reason for subscribers to switch from iPhone sold only by AT&T in US. The Pre Costs $199 after a $100 rebate for a two year service contract. The monthly service fees start at $69.99 which includes unlimited text messaging. The similar service plans with iPhone is higher than Pre’s.

Sprint had sold out of Pre phones at a number of locations around the country which indicate that Palm Pre is going to be a popular phone. But is it going to be the iPhone killer? Only time will tell the answer.
