Sprint has been busy preparing for the June 6th launch of the Pre, and with those like Nascar winner Tony Stewart partying with the Pre, now so too can loyal Sprint users, just in a slightly different way. Sprint Premier customers, which generally includes longtime or heavy Sprint users, are invited to an exclusive Palm Pre Launch Party in select cities on Friday, June 5th.
The "wireless event of the year" doesn't appear to spare any expenses, with customers invited to "mingle with celebs and enjoy hors d'oeuvres, wine and music while taking the Palm Pre for a spin". Space is limited, customers must RSVP by May 30 (click image for details).
The Pre has already found its way into the hands of celebrities including Angelina Jolie, Jimmy Fallon, Howard Stern, and film stars at the IFC Spirit Awards, among others.
Best of all, as promised, invitees will get the chance to purchase the new webOS handset before it hits the streets. Which would sure beat pitching a sleeping bag to overcome expected Pre shortages at launch. If you're a Premier member, have you gotten an invite, and are you planning to pick up your Pre at the event?
