Palm Pre Shows Up on Best Buy Website
So, the Palm Pre is on Best Buy’s website and, without the plan, you’d better be prepared to miss a mortgage payment. The price tag for the phone alone is $849.99. I guess that’s not too much of a shock, but if you don’t want Sprint, you might want to wait until someone drops theirs in the toilet (don’t act like I’m the only one) and the refurb market starts to pick up.
In the meantime, here are the specs posted at Best Buy http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9337595&st=palm+pre&lp=1&type=product&cp=1&id=1218087261903
