Palm Pre to see Price Cut to $150?

Interesting... this would have been great when the pre was launched. It would've been $50.00 less than iphone. This would have bolstered sales by alot. I;m not complainig though i paid full price $599 for my phopne and it was worth every penny. i wanna see more pre"s out there and less Die-phones..lol

Hmm... this seems to be a logical choice for Sprint and indirect partners, not only because of the HTC Hero but the NEW Palm Pre that is speculated to be coming soon.

I still believe the Palm Pre to be worth the full price of $199 that I paid for it, and superior to the HTC Hero, as nice a device as it is.

Any chance we'll see them drop the Simply Everything or Everything Data requirement for this phone? It's the only thing holding me and a lot of others I've with back from purchasing this phone :(

Oooh I cant wait for the NEW Pre...but i still love this one. It will probably have more GB. You have to progress.

any guess as to when the "new" pre is coming?

uh.. The 800w is still being sold by Sprint?
I thought they discontinued that months ago yet it doesn't show on that list in the discontinued area?

A Centro for $30, eh? Not bad. And $50 for a new Reclaim is pretty good, too. It's a nice phone with a slide-out keyboard and a 2MP camera. Reminds me of a slider version of the Lotus (also $50), which is a flip phone with qwerty.

I'll take a free 700p. It still does things the Pre doesn't do yet, (or never will).

Seems like there will be new WebOS phones out very soon - but a new Pre when this one is only 3 months old? Seems highly unlikely.

A new pre that has anything more than more memory would be a HUGE mistake by palm right now. I know i would be extremely PO if this happened. I can understand more memory or even gsm but that better be it for at-least a year. Also $150 sounds right I was one of those luck enough to get it at $99 (thanks best buy)

I agree, once they stop this BS everything data plan, Im buying the pre ASAP!

I have the free incoming 300 plan and dont EVER plan on giving it up! I was grandfathered from Next-to-hell, my bad, I mean Nextel.

Sprint if you are listening, offer a data plan ON TOP of existing plans. I'll be the first one to buy this phone.

I manage a indirect Sprint store and this pricing sheet looks like something Radioshack might use. None of my pricing sheets look like this and some of the information on there looks strange. Not to mention I've already received my September 8th pricing sheet and the Pre is still $200 after all rebates.

Cool....I get it.

I get a discount on all Sprint phones due to my work, but I still forked out $337 -- $100 MIR and a $100 dollar Visa Gift card, both mailed 180 after purchase making it $99 -- but I would've loved this notice 2 days ago when I bought the phone. I agree w/ questions the "low price" would've made but the little research I did, I found the Pre to be the better choice over the iphone (minus the App Store). I hope I've spread enough word to my friends about this device that the drop in price will get them to join so went have a giant app store as well.

I love my Pre... no fabrication, no lie.

"I approve this ad"

if the pre does go down $50 bucks within the month can i get that 50 bucks back? (bought my pre yesterday)

I am wondering the same thing that Joshwithachance is, I bought mine on Saturday and would be pretty aggravated if the price drop happened anytime soon. I guess if they refuse, we'll make enough fuss like what happened with the iPhone and give them no choice.

I can tell you this pricing sheet is from an IPCS affiliate dealer, so if you purchased your device at one of these stores there's a chance you might be able too. http://www.ipcswirelessinc.com/about/map.php gives you an idea where IPCS areas are.

Price break is no surprise.

Two weeks ago I asked my local Sprint store rep when the then current pricing deal was set to expire and was told 9-7-09. I waited, I thought we might see a Labor Day sale but 9-8-09 is close enough. Expect no furhter breaks until 10-31-09, if at all.

Pre 2.0? Maybe a memory card slot otherwise I don't expect anything until all the current software challenges are addressed. The Treo's all rolled out slowly

Can anyone confirm the price drop? I will be picking one up today if it's dropped, will post back if no one else has. Where is the preferred place to buy the Pre? Second-best place? Worst?

Price looks the same to me on their website.

Look at the chart, it doesn't say anything about the net price to consumer being $150 for the pre.

Any word of this out in the real world yet? I still see $199.99 at Sprint.com, RadioShack.com, and BestBuy.com

absolutely not am an employee of sprint and my material which shows pricing through october 31 of 199.99 after 100 mir

however now through october 31 sprint is giving an additional $100 credit for each line ported over to a pre. the credit is given after 30 days of activity on each line ported

My local best buy (murfreesboro, TN) has the pre on the shelf for $149.99. No mail in rebate. I think this is news since I keep hearing all the excitment about a price drop. It has been at this price for at least two weeks. (I'm in there alot.)

The price has even come down even more. This is so good to see. I bought one for my wife.
