 \"\"<\/p>\n

In the wake of the news that Radio Shack is no longer carrying the Sprint Palm Pre<\/a>, we’ve been getting some information that gives hope to one of our fond wishes: that Palm straight-up end of life the original Palm Pre and Palm Pixi and replace them both with the Palm Pre Plus and Palm Pixi Plus on Sprint. It’s time for some good old-fashioned rumor-mongering.<\/p>\n

A couple of RadioShack employees have said they’ve heard from Sprint that they’re aiming to get those very devices by ‘summer.’ We also have heard from a few Sprint people that Sprint and Palm are no longer sending out refurbished units for warranty replacements. If your Palm Pre breaks, you get a shiny new one instead of a factory-refurbished one. That could be a sign that Palm is straight-up giving up on trying to refurbish old units and instead would rather clear out remaining Pre inventory in preparation for something new.<\/p>\n

Of course, our fondest<\/em> wish is for something fresh and new instead of just more Pre Plus. On that front there’s been the barest of movement on the rumors surrounding the mythical C40<\/a> from Sprint’s product backend. Apparently a quite reliable source is dropping hints<\/a> that we can expect a thinner, wider, faster, 4G-enabled phone with a form-factor that still stays true to the Pre’s slider roots. We like the sound of that. <\/p>\n

Thanks all you anonymous tipsters!<\/em><\/p>\n
