Palm Pre sees a $50 price cut following Pixi announcement
After yesterday’s shenanigans we’re not sure how long this offer will stand. Apropos, Pre hopefuls might want to jump on this new price point as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. Palm made its second webOS-powered handset official this morning and we suppose there is no better way to celebrate than by buying the compay’s first webOS-powered handset — you know, just to ensure you aren’t eligible for 2-year contract pricing once the Pixi launches. Sprint has just cut the price of a shiny new Pre from $299.99 to $249.99 before the $100 mail-in rebate, meaning when all is said and done you’ll be out $149.99. Retail partners such as Best Buy and Amazon are still pricing the handset at $199.99 so for the time being, the new price is Sprint-only. Bottom line: if you were waiting to see how Palm’s first candy bar webOS phone would shape up before committing to a new contract and the Pixi doesn’t float your boat, Sprint just saved you $50.

Unless “Palm’s Treo Pro replacement” has still to be announced.
So what a replacement hasn’t been announced, the phone was released at the begining of the year and just replaced the 800w.
you can get the palm pre for 149.99 at the shack with no mail in rebate starting today 9-9-09
Yes, RadioShack is participating in the $149 pricing…. Go there to get it!
You can also get the Pre for 149.99 with no mail in rebate at Best Buy…so go to the boys in blue insted of some shack
I hope both the Pixi and Pre come to Verizon soon. The price war between Sprint and big Red should help get these phones in to more hands.
I hope they do have that porting credit after the rest of the smartphone lineup comes out. The Pre is looking more and more attractive, how fragile it is and how clumsy I am is whatr’s holding me back
oooo Zach…Apropos…
