Available from from June 6 in Sprint stores, Best Buy, Radio Shack and select Wal-Mart stores, Best Buy has put up its full retail price at $849.99 for a Palm Pre without contract. That’s $300 more than getting one from Sprint! It is said that the pricing is to discourage off-contract purchase, but instead buying a pre with a Sprint’s service contract.
