Everyone wants to know 2 main things about the Sprint Palm Pre.
- When is the Palm Pre going to be released?
- What is the price of the Palm Pre?
While there is no definite answer for the release date yet, Best Buy leaked a possible Palm Pre release date of June 7 and this date makes sense. But this will be a very limited supply of only 4,500 pre units and will probably serve as store demos.
An unnamed source at Best Buy also said the Price of the Palm Pre will be $200 with a new 2 year contract or $300 for current sprint customers who are upgrading their current phone. This is about the same price as the 8gb Apple iPhone ($200 with contract), which is the main competitor of the Pre. Of course this palm pre price is not 100% certain, but based on the information it is highly believable.
The price to manufacture a Palm Pre is listed as $138, which is cheaper than the competition. The iphone costs $174 to build and the Blackberry Storm costs $203 whil;e the G1 Android phone is $144 to manufacture.
