It looks like that’s true. According to phonenews, Sprint Retail Stores, Sprint has implemented a vacation freeze during the month of May for all front-end employees and has begun the process of employee training with the Palm Pre in preparation for one of two launch windows.
The first window involves Sprint receiving retail units of the Pre around late April to early May in preparation for a preliminary May 17th launch.
The second window involves Sprint receiving the same units in the aforementioned timeframe, but depending on the unit level received for stocking and sales, the launch would then be postponed to June 29th if the initial shipments are deemed too low to begin initial sales in May.
Brighthand reported that Sprint informed employees who work in its retail stores that they will be given no vacation time in May, as the Pre is expected to be released on May 17. The report indicates that Sprint is blacking out vacation time for retail employees because of the Pre launch, which is expected to be the biggest device launch for Sprint this year.
