It's an 8 gig smartphone and is competing primarily with the 3G iPhone and perhaps the (insert whatever BB you like). A $99 subsidized Pre seems like the right place to be, actually. But really it's just the discount houses that have them at that price..>Sprint is still at $149.

Pixi will hit well before any updated\refreshed Pre. I'm wondering if a larger cpacity pre might be a good idea when the Pre is offered outside of Sprint. might be a nice selling point to have a 16GB or 32 GB Pre on Verizon, and then being available on Sprint.

I don't hold much hope that Sprint would just let current users have any substantial discount on a upgrade though. Most everyone already took their discount getting the Pre already. Those folks (like me) would most likely need to wait til their contracts are up again.
