Two years? Where did you get that info? From all the articles I've read, Sprint won't say anything more than "We have the Pre throughout 2009". That's it. If they were going to have it longer, you'd think they'd want it known so they could get those potential customers to sign-up who are sitting on the fence waiting to see what carriers get it and when.

Verizon's CEO said that they will get the Palm Pre, "and a cousin," the BlackBerry Storm 2, the BlackBerry Tour, and Google Android phones over the next six months.

UPDATE: New article on WSJ.com says Verizon will get Pre in January, or in other words, 7 months!
