The guys at PreThinking are citing an internal Sprint email that indicates employee training for the new device has already begun. Which could mean the launch is nigh upon us?

From PreThinking:

All the rumors and speculations of a mid-April/late April/May launch of the Palm Pre doesn’t appear to be too far of a stretch. Stated in an email from Sprint, “Employees can expect training to start in April as well as multiple communications to get them excited and ready to help our customers.” I was wondering if the training has begun — so I asked for a confirmation on that thought.

At first, the LG Rumor 2 will be launched on March 15,  available at Sprint’s online store and 1-800-Sprint1 in a Black Titanium color solution. Starting March 29, the Vibrant Blue version will be also added for sale and finally, the new texter will hit all Sprint retail stores on April 19. The price of the Rumor 2 is established firmly at $49.99 with a new two-year contract and after a $50 mail-in rebate.
