Palm Pre falls to $149.99 on Sprint

Nothing like the announcement of a new webOS device to spur a price drop on the first, is there? The Palm Pre -- which has held steady at the $199.99 on-contract price it launched at back in June -- has finally taken a rumored $50 dip down to $149.99. That figure includes a $150 instant rebate plus a $100 mail-in rebate, which means you'll actually be paying $249.99 in-store to walk out with a unit -- but considering that the Pixi's only signed up for a vague pre-holiday launch window without pricing details, the Pre's still the cheapest webOS device available (of course, it's also the most expensive).

Return it, then go to RadioShack and upgrade for $149.

News Flash: A mail in rebate does not mean the price is lowered. The actual price is still 250! NOT 150!

Instant rebates count, but NOT MAIL IN.

Is not the money that you receive from a mail-in rebate still legal tender? How does this not count?
