While lots of rumor abounds about the release date of the Pre, CNET news has received an unconfirmed report of pricing from a Sprint customer service representative. Apparently, a listener from Buzz Out Loud alerted CNET to the info:
...he got confirmation from a Sprint customer service representative that the Pre would be in stores February 15 with an suggested retail price of $549.99, $150 with a two-year contract and after a $100 rebate.
Do Sprint representitives know more than the leaked EOL list would lead us to believe? While it's still very early (and the leaked documents stated a March 15th date for the Pre, not February 15), if this does indeed hold up, the Pre should stack up well against current Smartphone pricing. This includes the Treo 755p that the Pre is said to replace, retailing for $99 on a two-year contract after $100 rebate. Visit Sprint to compare prices on all the current models.
