When the Palm Pre came out back in June, we were quick to acknowledge that Palm truly delivered an excellent answer to the iPhone. Since then, we have switched to using the Pre as our go-to mobile device for our own business operations. And overall, we are quite happy with the results. So happy, in fact, that we have begun recommending the Pre to clients looking for a new mobile smart device.
And while we feel that the Pre has quality technology and functionality to recommend it, we also wanted to point out that it also provides significant savings to its users. Although the Pre and the iPhone 3GS are currently sold at the same price point, Sprint’s all-inclusive, unlimited data plan for the Pre costs only $99.99 per month—that’s $50 cheaper than the $149.99 you would spend on a comparable AT&T plan for the iPhone 3GS. Stretch those savings across a two-year contract, and you rack up $1200 in savings with the Pre.
Since most wallets have gotten a bit lighter over the last year or so, then, Sprint and Palm have done a good job of making the Pre attractive in a market seemingly dominated by Apple. If you would like to read more on the savings the Pre offers,
