Basking Ridge, N.J. - Verizon Wireless (NYSE: VZ) will join Sprint (NYSE: S) in offering smartphone maker Palm's (NASD: PALM) new Pre handset early next year, chief operating officer Denny Strigl told listeners on a conference call discussing the company's second-quarter earnings on Monday, CNET News.com reported.

Sprint has exclusive distribution rights for the Pre in the U.S. for an unknown period, thought to be at least six months.

Such exclusivity deals have proven lucrative for carriers like AT&T with the iPhone.

Verizon is also said to be in discussions to offer the iPhone at some point.
