Sprint has added a dedicated Pam Pre page to its Web site, outlining in decent detail the nitty-gritty functions of the upcoming Palm Pre. (A Palm Pre preview is here.)
The new bit? Tethering, which means that a Sprint user will be able to connect the phone to a PC to use as a modem. Palm also somewhat clarified its plan to get Outlook onto the phone via Direct Push technology, which requires Exchange Server 2003 with SP2 or Windows Exchange Server 2007 ; there's also POP3/IMAP support for Gmail and other services.
Unfortunately, Sprint hasn't listed a price for the Pre yet. But they have said that service plans will be similar to those for the Samsung Instinct: a $69.99-per-month plan with 450 minutes and unlimited data, an $89.99-per-month plan with 900 minutes and unlimited data, and a $99.99-per-month plan with unlimited voice and data.

I guess this simply everything plan requirement is the future of new sprint smartphones. Thats a bummer for people who want or can only afford to stay on their grandfathered legacy plans. I would gladly pay top dollar for this phone, but for me, it would also mean giving up a monthly savings of at least $40/month to go on their cheapest everything new plan. I will just continue to be happy with my HTC Touch (PPC6900) and cheaper monthly plan for now.
