Verizon to Sell Palm Pre, Plans New BlackBerry Storm

Verizon Wireless, the nation's largest wireless carrier, plans to start selling the Palm Pre and the new BlackBerry Storm in six months.

Verizon's Chief Executive Lowell McAdam said in a webcast that he hopes to eventually have the highly-anticipated Pre on its network.

The Basking Ridge, N.J.-based company also said it would develop a new version of the touch screen BlackBerry Storm but had not announced a timeframe.

"Over the next six months or so you will see devices like Palm Pre and a second generation Storm," said McAdam.

Earlier this week AT&T's Chief Executive Randall Stephenson also said that he sees his company selling the Pre after Sprint's exclusive deal with the smartphone has expired.

Sprint will launch the Pre on June 6 for $200.
