Verizon customers looking to get their hands on the Palm Pre in 6 months, like rumors suggested, are sure to be discouraged. Sprint CEO Dan Hesse took the stage at a press event and when informed of the rumors regarding Sprint’s Pre exclusivity running out in 6 months he responded with:

They need to check their facts. That just is not the case. Both Palm and Sprint have agreed not to discuss the length of the exclusivity deal. But I can tell you it’s not six months.

While this statement effectively squashes rumors of the Pre coming to Verizon in 6 months, the phone is inevitably bound to show up on the carrier sooner or later; when remains the question.
