Not true... 170 dlls from the 199 you pay at the door (granted, after instant or mail-in rebate and a contract as every other phone in the US), the ratio of cost of producing vs. price is actually superb for your pocket.]]>Jun 6th 2009 12:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/06/palm-pre-already-torn-to-shreds-estimated-to-cost-170/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/06/palm-pre-already-torn-to-shreds-estimated-to-cost-170/
$170 for hardware. But don't forget all the money that went into building the impressive software. Engineers, Programmers etc etc =).

Palm is paying the fabricators in China $170.02 to build this thing and selling it to you for $199. They are making a mere $28.98 on each one out the door (though the subsidy from Sprint will boost that by a lot more). Still, that's $28.98 to pay for teams of hundreds of hardware and software engineers, designers, working extra hours for years to put together an amazing little device. Not a bad deal, I think.

As for Sprint... Indeed, they are just making bank on this.]]>Jun 6th 2009 4:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/06/palm-pre-already-torn-to-shreds-estimated-to-cost-170/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/06/palm-pre-already-torn-to-shreds-estimated-to-cost-170/Jun 6th 2009 4:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/06/palm-pre-already-torn-to-shreds-estimated-to-cost-170/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/06/palm-pre-already-torn-to-shreds-estimated-to-cost-170/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/25/best-buy-lists-unsubsidized-regular-price-for-palm-pre-at-850/). Sprint then turns around and sells it to you for $200, but making you sign up for a 2 year contract, is which will make them about $1200 revenue for the next two years as everyone else has noted.]]>Jun 6th 2009 6:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/06/palm-pre-already-torn-to-shreds-estimated-to-cost-170/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/06/palm-pre-already-torn-to-shreds-estimated-to-cost-170/Jun 7th 2009 11:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/06/palm-pre-already-torn-to-shreds-estimated-to-cost-170/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/06/palm-pre-already-torn-to-shreds-estimated-to-cost-170/Jun 6th 2009 12:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/06/palm-pre-already-torn-to-shreds-estimated-to-cost-170/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/06/palm-pre-already-torn-to-shreds-estimated-to-cost-170/Jun 6th 2009 12:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/06/palm-pre-already-torn-to-shreds-estimated-to-cost-170/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/06/palm-pre-already-torn-to-shreds-estimated-to-cost-170/Jun 6th 2009 12:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/06/palm-pre-already-torn-to-shreds-estimated-to-cost-170/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/06/palm-pre-already-torn-to-shreds-estimated-to-cost-170/Jun 6th 2009 12:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/06/palm-pre-already-torn-to-shreds-estimated-to-cost-170/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/06/palm-pre-already-torn-to-shreds-estimated-to-cost-170/Jun 6th 2009 1:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/06/palm-pre-already-torn-to-shreds-estimated-to-cost-170/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/06/palm-pre-already-torn-to-shreds-estimated-to-cost-170/Jun 6th 2009 1:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/06/palm-pre-already-torn-to-shreds-estimated-to-cost-170/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/06/palm-pre-already-torn-to-shreds-estimated-to-cost-170/

Ya Engadget!! I mean I know today is the actual release date of this brand new TECHY TOY, but how dare you post articles on this TECHY BLOG about current TECHY TOYS!! I mean, when I come here, I expect to hear about Paris Hilton's latest romps, or how I can get chisled abs by taking a pill. To think I get tricked with the multiple visits here per week, only to be disappointed yet again with more current TECHY news on this TECHY BLOG.

You disgust me Engadget! How do you sleep at night?...

Strange to see such notions being applied to another brand. It's not right, only Apple is allowed to be the whipping post. I swear if Palm starts getting class action suits for ridiculous claims about battery life or stock shortages I'm going to be really pissed off. ]]>Jun 6th 2009 8:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/06/palm-pre-already-torn-to-shreds-estimated-to-cost-170/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/06/palm-pre-already-torn-to-shreds-estimated-to-cost-170/Jun 6th 2009 12:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/06/palm-pre-already-torn-to-shreds-estimated-to-cost-170/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/06/palm-pre-already-torn-to-shreds-estimated-to-cost-170/Jun 6th 2009 12:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/06/palm-pre-already-torn-to-shreds-estimated-to-cost-170/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/06/palm-pre-already-torn-to-shreds-estimated-to-cost-170/Jun 6th 2009 12:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/06/palm-pre-already-torn-to-shreds-estimated-to-cost-170/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/06/palm-pre-already-torn-to-shreds-estimated-to-cost-170/
