Personally, the Palm PRO seems like it should have gone away. While there are still some Palm fans around, I see most of them waiting for the Pre. Otherwise the casual Palm users, those who just want a smartphone will most likely end up with something cheaper such as the Centro. If nothing else I see this release just adding some confusion for customers waiting for the Pre. Palm Pre and Palm PRO, they are a bit to similar in name to not have an issue.
Despite the numerous delays surrounding the Palm PRO, it has once again surfaced with what appears to be an actual availability time frame. According to a March circular for Best Buy Mobile it looks like those waiting will be able to make a purchase beginning as early as February 22.
Keep in mind, the Palm PRO is heading to Sprint, so be prepared to sign a two-year agreement. As far as the pricing, new customers can grab the PRO for $249.99 and current customers that are eligible for an upgrade will have to shell out $269.99.
