As everyone knows, the Palm Pre will be coming out on Sprint some time in the next few months.  What many might not know is which plan you will be able to get.  Lucky for me, I have a friend that works for Sprint and knows.

So I’m betting you want to know, well here is it.  The minimum plan that you can use with the Palm Pre is the Simply Everything Plan. Yes, the $99/month plan.  From what I have seen, many people will not like this since the iPhone on At&t is less then that and you can get discounts if you really try.

The only way Sprint and Palm will get even close to what the iPhone and even Blackberry have, Sprint will need to either increase the soft cap on data (5GB) per month or come out with a new Plan just for the Pre.  If they do not, Palm will go semi silently into the night and will not come back.

Palm needs to have a GSM version on its tails of release on Sprint also.  Even if its outside the USA, there will not be enough customers to purchase it on CDMA alone.

We will have to wait and see what comes next and maybe just maybe Sprint will say something about this.
