But one grand for a first generation phone that's obsolete right out of the box, with quality issues, is a no-no. What are they thinking?

I think this is just a typo on Futureshop's part. Even the headline for the device seems wrong on the Futureshop site: "Bell Palm Pre 3G Smartphone - Year Agreement - In-Store Only" Shouldn't it say 3 Year? The fine print at the bottom of the page says 2yr and 1yr pricing is available in store, so we're probably supposed to be seeing the 3yr price, but we're clearly not. Yet.

I don't think anyone's hoping for that. I think Mike Churchill's got the right idea. $999 is so high, even selling an unlocked and unbranded version (which I'm sure they're not.) Hold out for Wind Mobile! No contracts! $599 on a 3-yr is ridiculous. I don’t think anyone’s hoping for that. I think Mike Churchill’s got the right idea.

Especially with some of those build quality issues. lol the pre is not worth a grand off contract let alone 600 ON a 3 year term. Especially with some of those build quality issues.
