How long will the Palm Pre be exclusive to Sprint's wireless network? That's getting confusing. First it appeared that it would be about six months before Verizon would get to attach the new smartphone to its contracts too, but the Sprint CEO has just shot that down, saying folks claiming that "need to check their facts." He wouldn't reveal how long the exclusivity deal is, but he said "it's not six months."

For Sprints' sake I hope that they've got the phone longer than six months.
