Sprint Premier Customers Get Palm Pre Launch Party
Tony Peric
Looks like all of the "Premier" members of Sprint will get a special Palm Pre launch party coming shortly. But only Sprint customers in certain locations including, Los Angeles, Miami and possbly more can take advantage of the Party. With these types of celebrity filled events, it would highly suggested that Premier members register for the party ASAP! BONUS: You get to grab a Palm Pre one DAY before anyone else. So that should be some incentive! RSVP by May 30th, space limited.

No fair. ::sigh::
Um... no... not only Los Angeles. Have a look: http://palmgoon.com/palm-pre-celebrity-launch-party-june-5th/ Event for Miami, FL and I'm going.
Is there one in the SF Bay Area?
Yes! I just received the list.
no invite and im a premier customer. :( i do live in a smaller city though but still :(
No invite yet but I just emailed Sprint about it.
I'm premier in D.C. I hope I get an invite.I better.
now i know how rumors get started! i posted this exact list of the 50 largest cities in the US on precentral.com forums just as an fyi and guess as to POSSIBLE cities due to size. this list is NOT necessarily the launch party city list. whoever gave you this misinterpreted my original post.

I am a premier customer and I am signed up to get the update from Sprint. I have not received my invite yet to the launch party and I am living in Sacramento, CA. I called Sprint Customer Service and they did not even know when the phone comes out!
Well Jamie, then we can meet up because I am in Sacto too.
Gekko, this is being confirmed with Sprint as I type.
Tony Peric,
Have you been able to confirm if this is for all premier customers that signed up for emails or only a select few? I'm from the Columbus, OH area and it's listed so I would think I should be invited....
HAVEN'T GOTTEN MY EMAIL EITHER. BEEN A CUSTOMER SINCE BACK IN 1996 BEFORE SPRINT HAD CONTRACTS AND YOU GOT AN ACCOUNT THROUGH RADIO SHACK. BUT THAT'S PROBABLY NOT ENOUGH. HOPE WILL GET THE EMAIL BUT IF NOT THEN WILL BE THERE ON JUN 6
Kinda stinks not being a "premier" customer but being an enthusiast customer with two lines and a datacard.
At least with apple everyone was treated the same. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't bummed by this.
Hey everyone. Whoever did not get the invite should check your spam. That's where mine was. I am a premier customer (10 years with sprint) I will be going to the one in Miami, Fl. Hope its good. My sister tried to sign up but they said it was totally full.
@Jozee Nope, just checked spam. I did get a reply from Sprint customer service saying they'd forward my request on to the appropriate department or whatever.
Raleigh, NC is larger than several of those cities! Where's the love??
I confirmed with Sprint that most of the cities above will have a launch event. This came from Corporate. Contact your local Sprint reps!
I am a Premier Member and never received this and I live in one of those 50 cities! :(
I'm a Premier customer and live just outside D.C. but no invite. What's up with that?
I talked for hours to Sprint yesterday, got the run around (some of course didnt know anything about the launch party or pre for that fact). I did finally get an answer that there are launch parties going about, and due to LIMITED space a random selection of Sprint Premier Customers were sent an invite. These random few also were ones that sent in for the pre-register thing on the sprint site first, etc etc etc. IN OTHER WORDS....it sucks balls...I've been with the Palm Pre news since it was annouced, checking daily to see a date etc, and I've been with Sprint for over 10 years, and I live near one of the major cities. Oh well, guess I'll chat with my local Sprint guy to see what I can work out.
I live in l.a., and i am a premier customer, and I registered early for the sprint palm pre email list, and I have not received any invite.
