4 new webOS phones from Palm for $1?

Hot on the heels of the Palm Pre launch from Sprint, it looks like Palm has cooked up some new phones that we’ll see this fall. And even better, we’ll see them on two networks: Verizon and Sprint. From the looks of the part numbers, we’ll be in for a surprise.

From Verizon, the screen shot leak introduces a P101 which most expect to be a varient of the Palm Pre. Way back when, Verizon said they would have the Palm Pre, so we can expect this is pretty close to real. The other part number listed in the leak is P121. To date, we have not seen anything regarding this part number, though many speculate this the Palm Eos.

Interestingly, a leak I found this morning shows Sprint with some new numbers as well. In Sprint’s leak, we find the P100 for $549 (the current Palm Pre), the P120 for $1 and the C40 for $1. Presumably the $1 is just a place holder, but we can dream. PreCentral suggests the P1xx is the basic Palm Pre, the P12xx is an slightly upgraded (memory?) version, and the C40 is the Centro replacement Eos/Pixie.

This logic suggests Verizon will have 2 versions of the Pre for launch? Could they be following AT&T’s logic in launching the iPhone in 8GB and 16GB? Or is two distinct phones? We expect all these phones to run the new Palm webOS. This is their franchise OS now and these phones will aim at bringing its goodness to more users. More as this develops.
