Doesn't matter. It still won't help Sprint in the long run. They're still bleeding customers. Most who bought the Pre were due for an upgrade anyway

money.cnn.com/2009/09/17/technol···09091717Palm Inc.'s smartphone sales rose 134% to 823,000 units during the latest quarter on the back of the new Pre, but the company still reported its ninth consecutive quarterly loss and sales fell 81%.
The company also announced that it will offer approximately 16 million shares of common stock for "working capital and general corporate purposes."
Shares of Palm (PALM) fell slightly after rising by as much as 9% after hours.
The much-hyped Pre smartphone helped boost Palm's smartphone shipments from 351,000 in the prior quarter. The company did not separate Pre sales from other Palm phones, but experts forecasted Pre shipments of about 520,000, according to Matthew Thornton, analyst at Avian Securities.
