Best Buy launches first Palm Pre marketing page

The folks over at Palm’s ad agency Edelman, are clearly staying right on top of the Palm Pre rumor mill. In the past week, Geek.com had a story about the Pre’s wireless battery charger arriving at Best Buy on June 7th and over at Precentral’s forum, there are comments about Sprint and Palm sending email invitations to a contest all about winning a Pre.

In other news Treonauts has a story about Best Buy’s Palm Pre marketing page. We did some checking and found Best Buy’s Pre page and then drove to our local Best Buy mobile store and asked a friend behind the counter what was happening. She confirmed that employees were being trained on the Palm Pre specifications and accessories. She also said that the accessories were scheduled to arrive between June 5 and June 10. When we asked what she knew about the Palm Pre smartphone launch date–her comment was that talking specifically about that product was not worth the grief from corporate management.

Boy Genius Report claims that Bell Canada will be getting their first shipment in August. BGR also showed photos of the Palm Pre boxes which originally came from a Chinese website.
