This is not a rumor! Palm & Sprint has officially announced that the Palm Pre will be due on JUNE 6TH. Priced at $199 after a $100 mail-in rebate with 2 year contract. The TouchStone will run for $59.99 and battery backing will cost $19.99, together as a bundle, $69.99. It will be available via Sprint stores, Best Buy, Radio Shack, and select Wal-Mart stores.

The funny thing is that me and Tony actually knew about the this release date, we just couldn't tell no body... Thought you should know.

Best Buy to "Trial Launch" the Palm Pre on June 7th, at $199 for new customers?

Finally, some new Palm Pre rumors, we can never get enough of it! According to a ninja reporting to BGR, Best Buy will be getting a low inventory of Pre's for a trial launch on June 7th. Boxes containing only about 4,500 Pre's will be shipped directly from Sprint to Best Buy Mobile locations across the country on June 6th(Get ready for some camping wearing plate). In addition to the "trial" launch date, the ninja spilled some "still being discussed" pricing too: $199.99 for new Sprint customers (2 year contract), $299.99 for existing customers upgrading, $999 off-contract...which I suspect it to just be a placeholder.

Update: This is not true according to InsiderSprint.
