Well, it seems like that rumor of each Best Buy store only getting four Pres each has been busted. EverythingPre’s forum member atlanta has posted a bunch screenshots showing Best Buy’s expected inventory levels for the Pre. Most stores are getting slightly more than four phones, and a lot getting dramatically more.
If your local stores are not shown within the first post, browse through the nine pages in the thread. The user has posted many screenshots and your store is probably in there somewhere. If not, create a profile and request it for the good of the cause.
$850 WOWSERS!
no thanks!
I’ll keep my Q9C till the Pre drops in price or something better comes along.
I’ve been out of contract for 2 years and dont renew because I love the fact that I can leave when I want to and that I was grandfathered into a plan that is amazing.
$80 a month for 2 lines with unlimited everything. Ive has this plan since 2003 never gonna give it never gonna give it uuuppp……….
then your never gonna get a cool phone. Keep using your Sanyo 3100 flip phone.
Instinct, PRE….all cool sprint phones require a price plan change.
Josh – they do that all the time with pre-order stuff to prevent people from buying it before hand. The price is $500 something before the rebates from Sprint. Almost every phone (that isn’t GSM) works the same way.
A couple of corrections on your nice article there.
1) the $849.99 is the regular retail price of the phone, so if you wanted to buy the Pre outright, that’s what you’d pay. The new/upgrade price is going to be $199.99 without any mail in rebates.
2) That’s just the order amount – those can be pending orders, wishful thinking, etc. In transit will tell you how many you have on the way, and then on hand will tell you how much you have to sell. Palm has admitted to short supply across the board.
What does the scouter say about Palm Pre’s inventory levels?
WHAT? NINE THOUSAND?
