Sprint Navigation, powered by TeleNav, on the Palm Pre – Available June 6
Sprint Navigation, powered by TeleNav, on the Palm Pre
Big news today from Palm and Sprint. The two announced this morning that the Palm Pre will be available nationwide on June 6th. The highly anticipated smartphone will be available for $199.99 (with a 2 year contract and a $100 mail-in rebate).
We’re very excited for the Palm Pre to go on sale because it will provide access to Sprint Navigation, powered by TeleNav.
If you haven’t seen Sprint Navigation in action, you might want to take a look at the online demo here for an overview of features and benefits.
If you purchase a Palm Pre on the 6th and try Sprint Navigation, please come back and let us know what you think!

Will Sprint Navigation work in Europe (UK) when roaming? Thanks Scott

Scott – no, not at this time. AT&T Navigator on some devices will work in Europe if you subscribe to the global version of the service. I hope this is helpful.

i was wondering if there is a link to download telenav for palm pre

@jgonzalez – Sprint Navigation (powered by TeleNav) should be preloaded on our Pre. If it’s not there for some reason, you may be able to download it by opening a browser on the Pre and going to this URL: http://ota.telenav.com/ota/sn/nav. If this doesn’t work, please let me know. Thanks.

The website http://ota.telenav.com/ota/sn/nav still has no support for the pre only treo850 and treo800w nothing for the pre so how can we load sprint navigation on the phone via ota??

@carlos – is this a new phone that came without Sprint Navigation preloaded or did you actually remove the app from the phone at some point?

@carlos – I’d recommend that you stop by your nearest Sprint store to ask them to help you with a soft reset (full erase) as Sprint Navigation should have come preloaded on your Pre. If it didn’t, a soft reset should bring back any preloaded apps. It will also, however, remove any apps that you’ve downloaded yourself so you’ll probably have to redownload those. It might be best to ask a Sprint rep to help with this process.
Unfortunately I have found out that there are limitations on the Pre for downloading via an OTA link – which is why you have not been able to.
Hope this is helpful.
