Palm Pre Plus for AT&T Drops to $49.99 Courtesy of Amazon
It feels like we were just talking about phone prices, as it relates to Palm and carriers. Oh, wait… It’s been barely two days since AT&T launched the Palm Pre Plus for their network, and while it’s still listed as $149.99 on their website (which does include a “free” Touchstone charger), it looks like Amazon has got the inclination that that’s not a very good price point for the premiere webOS device.
And, as much as it pains us, we’re inclined to agree. Especially when Sprint’s got their own Palm Pre for free, and Verizon Wireless right now is selling the handset for $49.99, it seems that AT&T launching the device for such a marked increase was relatively short sighted. Either that, or someone in a high place just had some high hopes for the device.
This isn’t the first time Amazon has put pricing in their own hands, and surely it won’t be the last. Even just yesterday, Amazon noted that the HTC Incredible for Verizon Wireless is just $149.99 on their website (and they may actually have some in stock). We imagine it won’t be long before AT&T follows in Amazon’s shoes, but we just wonder how quickly. Because, it may be already too late.
