Sprint has been busy gearing up for the launch of the Pre, with a recent TV ad featuring the new webOS handset, and rumors of a late April release, among other dates. Sprint employees are now starting to gear up; according to an internal e-mail from Sprint (most likely their "Weekly Product Update"), employee training for the Pre may have already begun. The e-mail states:
"Employees can expect training to start in April as well as multiple communications to get them excited and ready to help our customers," and they confirm with, "...Sprint is in the process of providing the training for the new Palm Pre."
Also mentioned in the e-mail, the Palm Pre wil compete favorably with the flagship products from other carriers such as the iPhone, Blackberry Storm, and Android G1. It will be marketed heavily against the competition, and will be "bigger and better" than the 2008 launch of the Instinct.
The e-mail closes with a warning not to allow any "important information" to be leaked to the public before they are set up and ready to go. Considering the leaked EOL sheets in Feburary and leaked confidential Sprint documents in March, so far they are doing a bang-up job in this department. But we're not complaining.
