Nat Says: “Yeah, Verizon is Getting the Pre…”

Natali del Conte (you remember her, right?) has mentioned in today’s Loaded episode that Verizon [VZ] is preparing to receive Palm [PALM] Pre devices on their network, sometime in 2010.

Of course, this makes sense, since there is not much retooling required for Palm, since both Sprint and Verizon run their cellular networks on CDMA/EvDO type networks. Unfortunately for Sprint [S], this spells the end of the exclusivity deal for the Pre device. And, unless they can successfully leverage the somewhat-buzz around the Mi-Fi device, particularly regarding its unusually steep pricing model for the product and its service plans, they will lose a lot of momentum once again.
