Best Buy To Sell Palm Pre For $200 Without Mail-In Rebate

If you find yourself counting the seconds until Palm launches its highly anticipated Pre smartphone on June 6, and you despise mail-in rebates, then you really need to listen up. I’m only to tell you this throughout this entire post.

According to Brighthand, Best Buy is offering Palm Pre buyers the chance to undercut Sprint’s own $100 mail-in rebate offer, by offering the phones for the post-rebate price of $200 right at checkout (with a two-year contract of course). How Best Buy was able to secure such an offer is curious, especially since the phone will also be available at Wal-Mart, Radio Shack and Sprint stores (the exclusive carrier at this point).

Never mind who Best Buy had to put in the ground to pull this off, it's good news for potential Palm Pre users out there. Now there’s just the small issue of actually being able to get your hands on one. I wonder where the biggest line will be…

Anyone planning on picking up a Pre on day one?
