No, I was given a Palm Pre (post-release), but didn't have access to the SDK. Here's an article:

If you were approved you got access, but most didn't. I think jwz ranted about this too. There were all these devs who wanted to write for it, but weren't given access. Eventually I gave the phone back.

General rule, your SDK needs to be done a month before product launch -- unless you're Apple.

Odd. I remember getting the SDK very early. Maybe the fact I was a PalmOS developer since ever did play in my favor.
