The Palm Pre arrival date hasn’t been announced yet officially but Roger McNamee is making bold statements. That hairy founding partner of Elevation Partners, that investment firm working on Palm’s rescue plan surprised everyone when he went on to say that the Pre will steam former iPhone buyers:

June 29, 2009, is the two-year anniversary of the first shipment of the iPhone. Not one of those people will still be using an iPhone a month later. Think about it — if you bought the first iPhone, you bought it because you wanted the coolest product on the market. Your two-year contract has just expired. Look around. Tell me what they’re going to buy.

We’ll be interested to see how many iPhone users will switch to Pre this summer. Will AT&T send Verizon-like surveys to its iPhone customers that will go to Sprint?
