Verizon deal gets even better - Palm Pre Plus is now $29.99

Philly8081 · 09:34 AM

Verizon wants to clear their Pre Plus inventory so badly. I guess this is a bright side to the poor phone marketing and previously gloomy future of Palm.

For those who are on the fence about signing up for a new 2-year contract, the Pre Plus seems to be in a class of its own when it comes those looking for a savvy deal with the carrier.

Even with the mandatory data plan, the free 3G mobile hotspot feature and this price drop to $29.99 with no rebate whatsoever regardless of corporate store or online purchase makes this phone so intriguing to seriously consider owning.

Now that webOS has a new lease on life with HP and the Pre Plus should see future over-the-air webOS updates, those who look past the hardware issues will most likely be very pleased with their purchase over the 2-year contract period.

I bought one a week ago for $49.99. Can i take it back to my Verizon store and exchange it for a $29.99 model?

trevgriff · 05/02/2010, 09:32 AM

I just bought a second one (for my wife) yesterday it was 49.99

iTz Nicholas72 · 05/02/2010, 09:48 AM

How much longer until they are free? LOL
I wish that this was a sign Veizon was gwtting something new but, probably not...

Off to the Verizon store I go today to get my $20 back! I bought it for $50 and hey thats a nice little suprise (especially b/c my 30 days is up in less than a week!)

sherryterry1 · 05/02/2010, 10:20 AM

Anyone have any thoughts on how to buy a Pre Plus @ 29.99 as a backup? I know they require you to activate a 2nd line...but just thinkin'.....

Seems cheaper than to have to buy one @ full price (i.e. replacement cost) if you drop it or break it???

rsnow24 · 05/02/2010, 11:28 AM

Should have waited...would have been free with my NE2 but im happy I got mine when I did

Funky Smurf · 05/02/2010, 11:54 AM

I've been on the fence for a month...I still own a cheap little flip phone. The HP news alone sold me, so the price drop is just an extra bonus.

It's happening this Tuesday - I'm looking forward to being apart of this fine community of users & developers!

cursiv · 05/02/2010, 12:26 PM

wonder if at&t will be in the double digits!

digitalvapor · 05/02/2010, 12:37 PM

I had a Pre Plus when it came out for Verizon but 2 weeks later I took it back and got a Droid. I didn't like the Droid to much so I took it back and went back to my Storm to wait and see what happens. The free mobile hotspot had my interest and now that its $30 I think I might just come back to Palm. I love WebOS. This is just to good to pass up.

unseenme · 05/02/2010, 12:40 PM

I have a connection to get phones at the contract price...im definitely picking up a couple more of these beauties!

digitalvapor · 05/02/2010, 02:39 PM

Just got back from VZ. Im the proud owner again of a Pre Plus! WOO!

fernandez21 · 05/02/2010, 05:09 PM

Please AT&T match this price when you release it.

kathleens23 · 05/02/2010, 09:13 PM

I am having nothing but problems with the palm pre app. I can not store new phone numbers. I have exhausted so many hours with this and I am near done. The WEB OS Doctor will not work to fix this. I am so dissapointed in this phone!!!!!!

cpfms · 05/02/2010, 09:23 PM

If you already bought a Prē in the last 30 days you can do a price match with Verizon. Go to a direct store or call customer service and they will credit you the $20 bucks.

JimOhara · 05/02/2010, 09:27 PM

I bought my wife one last week for $49.99 then saw on this web site that the price dropped. Called 611 on my Pre to Verizon customer service and they are crediting me $20.00 to my account for the difference in price. Simple as that folks.

TruckinGeek · 05/02/2010, 09:32 PM

Even if you took advantage of the BOGO? Just ordered two yesterday. Oh well, even if they don't credit the difference, I still made $10 on the deal!

I jumped early, thinking they would end the free Mobile Hotspot, because that would be SO much a Verizon thing to do.

wxman2003 · 05/03/2010, 02:43 AM

I just saw their ad on tv tonight. They are still offering the pixi for $29.99, and the palm pre plus for $49.99.

Jacki_D · 05/03/2010, 10:30 PM

...just in case any of you are on the fence, the sign in my local NJ Verizon store says only 8 days left in the Pre 29.99 sale. **I bought mine tonight - Yeah!** 5/3/10
