Chances are that you still remember the Sprint Now Network TV add talking about how much you can save with the Palm Pre compared to an iPhone plan. Well now, the PC World folks have posted a study on how much you spend on a plan with 8 of the hottest smartphones on the market.

Yes, you read that right, a free Palm Pre, and no, it isn’t one of those “system errors” that we’ve seen before. Now, to get this great deal you have to act fast, the deal is for 72 hours, but to nab a free Pre you have to paired PhoneCashBack’s deal with Walmart’s own $100 [...]
Recently, Sprint priced the Palm Pre at $149.99 – after the 2 year agreement and the instant and mail in rebates, of course – and we have seen Radio Shack – although for a limited time – done the same. And we also have seen many different errors on pricing from Best Buy and Sprint [...]
Finally there is a date for the GSM Palm Pre release, last time, we had an Autum release that now has an specific date. Surprisingly, O2 finally confirms today that the Palm Pre will be available in the UK on October 16th exclusively on the O2 network. Those who want to purchase the new device, [...]
After so many “mistakes”, “errors”, “system errors”, fake “deals”, real deals and price cuts, this time it seems like Sprint and Palm are on the same page, and there is good news for those who want to buy the Palm Pre but were on the sidelines because of the price. It isn’t a $100 Palm [...]
Sprint, just like Best Buy has done something crazy, yes, they backed off on the $100 Palm Pre. It had been only about half a day, when Sprint pulled the plug on the sweet deal. Everyone could not believe that was a mistake, but apparently it was.
As you might remember, Sprint was offering the Palm [...]
Okay, so far we have seen our fair share of price drops, price errors, real deals and what not. We even had word from a tipster to Precentral about a price drop for the Palm Pre to $150 starting today until October 31st 2009. But today we bring news from Sprint/Nextel itself. For a limited [...]
On Sunday night we posted a price sheet from an anonymous tipster that showed the Palm Pre would be available for $150 after rebate. That is most definitely the case, but only for customers lucky enough to be in the IPCS service area.
IPCS is an independent company that does Sprint’s business for the above regions. A friendly fellow in Davenport, Iowa confirmed to us this morning that the Pre is "On special" for $249 with a $100 mail-in rebate for new customers, so the Pre is available for $149, but only if you’re buying from IPCS. In the comments on our original post, gilligan793 confirms the same (and pointed us to the above map – thanks!)
The cut lasts through October 31st (at least) on IPCS and so far Sprint ‘proper’ hasn’t followed suit in the price drop.
We have seen the price for the Palm Pre drop before, either by mistake or for a legit special sale. But in this occasion, a tipster at Precentral brings news about the new pricing for the Pre starting tomorrow Sep. 8th. Now, like any other tip, this should be taken with a little grain of [...]
First of all, you as consumer need to be aware that Best Buy’s regular listed price for the Palm Pre is $300 higher than Palm’s suggested retail price (SRP) of $549.99. Here’s how the math adds up: the SRP of the Pre is $549.99 – $150 (for signing 2-years of your life away to [...]
