You read that right, the recent $50 drop to $150 wasn't enough, as now Amazon.com is selling the Palm Pre for only $99 on-contract. This might be the lowest the Pre will go, so get one now.

By now you have probably heard of RadioShack rebranding itself as "The Shack". And to kick things off, they're selling the Palm Pre for $149+Tax (Doesn't sound as good as $99) to New Customers of Sprint, this weekend only (August 7-9). So get down to your local RadioShack, er, The Shack, and grab yourself a Palm Pre for $149. Or you could wait for the 'real' price drop to $99 again at BestBuy, which will most likely go down before the end of the month.

Internal Memo:

" From August 7-9, the Palm Pre will be available for only $149.99 on new two-year activations with a Sprint Everything Plan of $69.99/month or higher. At $50 off, it's our lowest price ever! (Two-year upgrade pricing will remain at $219.99.) "

Sprint has ramped up selling of the Palm Pre across online retailers, evident by Amazon.com, LetsTalk, and probably many others. Just more ways for people to nab a Palm Pre. Sprint employees saw this coming because they had a memo sent to them detailing exactly what's happening:

Summary: Starting 8/2/09, Sprint has decided to open up the selling of the exciting new Palm® Pre™ to all direct ship including non-preferred dealers (exclusive and multi-carriers), remaining national retailers, OAR’s and BSP‘s.

Specialists: All
Customers: All, except employee accounts (EWD and SWAC)
Effective Date: 8/2/09

What you need to know:

• Selling Palm Pre in these channels will be permanent.
• All processes will be business as usual.
• Palm Pre is still not available for employees.

So for non-early adaptors, where did you buy your Palm Pre?
