Sprint now taking phone orders for Pre

Say you've been cooped up in your domicile for the past three-odd weeks, which means you blew right past the Pre launch -- and you've been unable to bring yourself to put on pants and trudge into a store. That's a big problem considering that Sprint's only been willing to offload Pres through retail locations so far -- but the tide's turning, and they've now let it known through the company's official Twitter account that telesales are a go. You still can't buy one online -- which would mean that in addition to avoiding the store, you'd also be able to avoid any interaction with a human being whatsoever -- but we're getting close, and we'll drink to that. Alone.

That's funny...they can't even stock them in the stores but they can now take phone orders!
All anybody needed to do was call Palm them selves and order it or through EBay which I
bought mine for $400.00 with out contract!
