If there are any lingering doubts that Verizon Wireless is going to offer the Palm Pre, one of this this carrier's Twitter feeds has re-iterated earlier promises to launch the first webOS-based smartphone in a few months.
Months ago, several Verizon executives promised to offer this smartphone. Last month, however, an unconfirmed report stating the Verizon may have dropped its plans to offer the Palm Pre made headlines. This was quickly followed by a wave of reports saying the opposite.
And now a semi-official announcement from this carrier confirms the original news. The VZWOffers Twitter feed said yesterday:
We will be carrying the Palm Pre smartphone early next year.
Apparently the only thing holding this launch back is an agreement between Sprint and Palm, which gives this wireless carrier exclusive rights to offer the Pre through the end of 2009.
An Enhanced Version?
This latest bare-bones announcement didn't resolve an open question: Will Verizon carry only the original Pre, or an enhanced version?
There have been unconfirmed reports that this carrier's version will have a slightly larger screen than the 3.1-inch one on current the Pre. In addition, it will supposedly have more built-in storage than the the original, which has 8 GB.
