Would You Rather: Pre, iPhone 3.0, or New BlackBerry?

Hot dog, y'all — the Palm Pre is finally within reach and will be hitting store shelves June 6!

Hot dog, y'all — the Palm Pre is finally within reach and will be hitting store shelves June 6! Obviously, I'm pretty excited to check it out for myself, but I am having a bit of an internal debate: will I fork over last month's savings for Palm's newest smartphone, or will I wait (and wait and wait) it out to pick up the latest version of the iPhone, which is surely being released the week following the Pre launch?

And to make deciding where to throw my cash even more difficult, there's word that there will not only be a touchscreen Bold coming our way soon, but a new Storm as well. Decisions, decisions! I'm sure I'm not alone here, being stuck between a rock and hard place, so tell me: which shiny new smartphone would you rather buy?

Would You Ever Spend $1,000 on a Cell Phone?

Holy high priced gadgets: A rumor sniffed out by Boy Genius Report finds that the much-anticipated Palm Pre may cost $200 and $300 with contracts when it debuts, and without a contract?

A grand. One thou. That's right.

Now, when the iPhone debuted, its $600 price point wasn't far off from a thousand bucks, and there are plenty of gadgets (TVs, cameras) that justifiably tip that point.

But could you justify ever spending over a thousand dollars on your cell phone?

I've been excited for the launch of the Palm Pre since its announcement at this year's CES, and it looks like we may have a release date: The Boy Genius Report has heard a rumor that the Pre might be available as early as April 30. Also heard on the grapevine? It might be $299 with a two year contract with Sprint.

The highly anticipated new smartphone, to remind you, will have an amazing OS and a the new wireless charger, the Touchstone.

While I remain a devote iPhone user, I'm not a stranger to using more than one cell phone at a time, and am more than tempted by the Pre. It's also the first worthy smartphone contender that Palm has produced in years, so I'm eager to try it out.

What about you — would you switch from your current phone to the Pre?
