We heard rumors that Verizon might get the Palm Pre but it looks like other rumors to the contrary are swirling. On the heels of various sites reporting that Verizon will get the iPhone, TheStreet says that Verizon has shelved the idea of offering the Palm Pre.

Verizon's Lowell McAdam previously told investors the Pre was coming in six months. It looks like the company has had a change of heart.

This news, if true, would not be welcome news for Verizon or Palm. Verizon has a large network but offers the lamest phones on the market. Offering the Palm Pre would give Verizon users the latest and greatest (besides the iPhone).

Palm needs all the partners it can get if it plans to gain ground on the iPhone so a partnership with Verizon makes a lot of sense.

According to TheStreet there are several reasons why Verizon had a change of heart. Although sales of the Palm Pre have been okay, they haven't been the "blockbuster" type of sales that people were counting on.
