$150 Price Point Confirmed By Palm Employee

  • A contact of mine at Palm was finally able to give out a little info regarding the Pre. Mostly everything about pricing and an official release date have been unbelievably tight lipped over there. Things must be getting a little more lax, because today my guy said that the general executive consensus is that the Pre will drop for $150. Does that price point make you any more incentivized to ditch your current phone for a Pre?

  • Haha... Sprint is great, Customer Service sucks, but fortunately, I never have to call them because their network kicks ass.

    I'll gladly pay $150 for the Pre. I currently have 2-phones on the Unlimited plan. I pay $140/month and that's it... everything included. Unlimited Data, Navigation, Sprint TV (CNN, MTV, Comedy Central, NBC, ABC, CBS, Fox) can't beat that.

    Just release the damn thing already!

    People really need to get over the "Sprint is the devil!" comments. Sprint ranks right up there with Verizon in speeds and their CS has drastically improved. I've been w/ Sprint for 7 years and I've noticed the difference in the CS quality. As far as the pricing of the Pre, that's exactly where it needs to be to compete w/ the other phones.

    I'd pay that, although I've paid under $75 for my 2 previous Sprint phones.

    I'm still paying $80 a month for my iPhone right now. Can't justify the drive to Sprint unless I'm paying half and they have MafiaLive for the Pre.

    @PrePricing.
    You will need a "Simply Everything Plan," which range from $69-$99.
  • PrePricing
    forget the initial investment, what's the monthly data pricing. That's where they need to beat the iPhone. Should be $10 a month unlimited while they are with Sprint. That's the only way I'd switch

    Good find. @SeanG, hilarious with the construction comment. Agreed.
  • themterribles
    f you SeanG, sign me up at $150. I'm in.
  • seanG
    They could give me a free Palm Pre and I still wouldn't switch to Sprint, nuff said. I don't know how they are projecting 1.3M of these things to be sold, when half the demographic of sprint is a 'nextel using' construction employee.
