This is really some weird news coming in here about the Palm Pre. It looks like there’s only one Sprint store in New York ready to sell the Pre starting with June 6.

Sprint has apparently marked the stores that will have the Pre by marking them open for “special hours” on June 5. Assuming that online list is accurate then New York, Chicago, LA and San Francisco will have just a store ready to sell the Pre which is really disturbing. Is it all a human error? Everyone is expecting Palm Pre shortages so we expect all Spring stores to have at least a few Pres to go around. We also expect these stores to be open on launch date. Or will we see the Palm Pre available only in selected Sprint stores at first?

Let’s hope that Sprint will handle this launch with class. Apple will be surely watching.
