Get a Palm Pre 2 for free - RUN!

No, I did not fill W-7, but you must be sure to check the "Consider payment specifications due to XTR-A257" and then fill WT-F21 and OM-G17.

Honestly, the form filling is a lot easier than with Apple IMO. Still it sucks. All I want is to upload my game and they should take screenshots and write a good review in 28 languages for me. I just need the paycheque.

I didn't see any mention of

"Consider payment specifications due to XTR-A257" and then fill WT-F21 and OM-G17.

I presume that means that you did fill in W-8BEN though?

[Kitty Hello]

No, I was making a joke. Is there really a form "W-8BEN"!? 

[Ian Price]

To enable the game to be sold on the HP/Palm store you have to fill in US tax papers (W-8BEN and probably W7 too). Free apps don't need these. How did you manage to sell your apps without completing these? See attachment. You cannot change the "FREE" to a paid value until the tax info is completed.

ah, right. I filled these out.
What I did back in the App Store is: Call my tax inspector (government guy - usually gal) and have her help me fill the form. They usually are quite friendly when you are polite and don't come with threatening calls as they get the rest of the day.

[Ian Price]

OK. Cheers Gernot. I'll try to do the same.

Do you still require a US tax code like in the iPhone requirement ?  If so : urrrgghhh...

What company name will you give if you aren't a company ?  Fortunately I will only need to bother about it if/when I get my Palm...

[Ian Price]

Yes you need a US tax code. You need to complete Forms W-8BEN and W7 (according to the Palm dev website).

You can use your own name instead of a company name.

It is still possible to get a free Palm Pre 2. If you want to know how, contact me by private message. I do not want  to provide the data here because it can be indexed by Google and I do not want to favor people outside our community.   

My free Palm Pre 2 is accepted, already. 

Greetings.

Got mine today!

Got mine today!

Nice!

I got the letter about 2 weeks ago saying they were going to send me a PRE 2, but haven't
heard from them since. How long did you have to wait MrTAToad?

[Ian Price]

Got mine today!

Excellent news

[MrTAToad]

Just need a new SIM now as it can't be used without it...

[Ian Price]

I used my Virgin SIM from my mobile and then replaced it with another free SIM I ordered online from Virgin (free of charge). All was good.
