"The Palm Pre phone will be available from Sprint on June 6 for $199.99 with a two-year service agreement and $100 mail-in rebate." It should read: The Palm Pre phone will be available from Sprint on June 6 for $199.99 (after a $100 mail-in rebate) with a two-year service agreement. The way it is written in the article may lead some to believe that the Pre is $199 upfront and then you get a $100 rebate thus making the Pre only $99. When actually the buyer must pay $299 and then mail in a rebate form and wait for the rebate to be sent back. Statistics show only about 40% of rebates are ever mailed in, that is why Palm and Sprint are using the rebate method and not offering the Pre directly for the more realistic price of $199.
