Palm to offer free Treo or Pre for some

pshrynk · 04-30-2009, 09:54 AM

Palm the makers of Treo and Pre are offering a free Treo or Pre to some lucky individuals who are willing to blog for it. Details are here.

Quote:

Palm is looking for recruits to become "Real Reviewers" of Palm phones including the Palm Pre. If you're selected as a reviewer, Palm will give you a free, current model Palm phone to try out and an accompanying data plan for six months. The only requirement is that you regularly post your thoughts about the Palm phone you're using on any blogs and social networks you frequent. Palm may also ask "Real Reviewers" to guest blog for Palm or host a discussion board on Palm's Facebook page.

The article recommends signing up quickly, since they will be announcing their reviewers on May 8th.

Well, it does say some. But it does suck that you can't give it a go...

Signed up

I will keep my fingers crossed

I signed up, too. I'm not holding my breath, as I assume there will be a lot of interest in this program, but it can't hurt to try.

I considered signing up until I remembered that in the US, the Pre is only available for Sprint, and that it doesn't have an external memory slot. I've already got a full 16GB SD card on my GSM Treo (ebooks and music), so the Pre is a non-starter for me. Since they've already announced there will be a GSM model in Europe and a Palm emulator, I can only hope that next year's model will have either an SDHC or micro SDHC reader. Oh, and a Kindle Reader, too.
