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

By 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.

    This has been noted on several web-sites to be a mistake.

    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.
