Wal-Mart selling Palm Pre for $80

numero 1

so far this is only good till the 28th of September (3 days short of my renewal time)

and with a 2nd look @ it, only with NEW contract! $299 for renewals! thats willy its 250 @ sprint.com ten 100 mail in for renewal,
nest buy is 149 for renewal as is radio shack, amazons 99 is new customers and no renewal option yet thru them

I've been looking into getting a smart phone lately but whats the benefits of the palm pre over the android phones if any?

I'm personally looking to get the new Sony Erriccson Idou with the Symbian OS. I just hope the phone actually gets released in America as it's rumored to. And that it is released with AT&T. If not then I either have to switch carries, or buy it unlocked ... yeaaah lol. I'd rather stick with what I have if it comes to that.

its better than $80,

ITS FREE

The cost of the phone is pretty much irrelevant -- the cost of the plan for the minimum allowed contract period, usually 2 years, swamps it out. What's $20 difference when you'll be stuck with the thing for two years and you'll potentially pay out from $1200 to $2500 for the "plan"? The way these dumb things are marketed makes no sense at all. Much better to buy your phone on eBay and deal with your plan provider month to month. That way when a better phone comes along, you can get it.

can sprint be flashed into a cricket phone if possible
