    Palm Pre $99.99 at Best Buy In-Store Only (Updated)

    By Humberto Saabedra on July 26, 2009

    Best Buy stores are currently offering the Sprint Palm Pre for $99.99 after new 2 year agreement or qualified upgrade without rebate requirements.

    This price is exclusive to store locations only and is not found on BestBuy.com which still reflects the launch price of $199.99.

    Update: Best Buy marketing manager John Bernier has issued a statement on the pricing via Twitter, stating that it was in error and is being corrected.

      The phones could be free. The upfront costs are dwarfed by the subscription costs especially with 2 year contracts.

      Sprint’s plans for these phones are lower each month than Verizon or AT&T plans for phones with similar capabilities. With a family plan that bundles talk, text messages and unlimited data you can add a new line for as little as $19.99 per month.
