Bell Drops Price of Palm Pre to $99.95
November 4, 2009 by Leave a Comment
According to Mobile Syrup, Bell has dropped the price of the Palm Pre to $99.95. This subsidized price still requires a 3-year commitment. The move likely comes in response to Bell not carrying the 8GB iPhone 3G, priced at $99.
Those looking for a similar price in the US should check out Amazon, with Sprint still holding at $149.99. With the Palm Pixi coming out on November 15th priced at $99, price is helping to differentiate the products. The more expensive Palm Pre includes WiFi and features a faster processor.

Best Buy in Canada has dropped the price on the Palm Pre to $149.99 with a new 3-year agreement. Bell, the exclusive carrier in Canada, launched the Palm Pre on August 27th at a price of $199.99. While the new Best Buy price is the same as pricing in the US, it might draw the ire of early adopters who have seen a price drop less than a month after the release.
Bell has not changed their pricing. So if you’re up north and looking to pick up a Palm Pre, Best Buy is your best bet.
