Bell continues to offer Palm Pre promos… now giving $15 off monthly Smartphone Combo Plans

Back in March Bell offered a promo to all customers who purchase a Palm Pre on any Smartphone Combo plan will get $10 off their plan the entire duration of their contract. If you’ve been waiting for a better deal your time might have arrived!

Not only can you get the Palm Pre for the rock bottom sell-off price of $0.00 on a 3-year (or the no-contract price of $299.95), but Bell has increased the amount you’ll get back to a very good $15 per month… that equals a whopping $540 in savings. I love Palm’s webOS, but I love it more when carriers drop rates.

What do you think? You going for it? Do you think the drop is because of all the recent competition or to get rid of inventory?

(Thanks Toni!)

  1. Considering Palm has been sold to HP, the future doesn’t look good for any Palm phones.

    It seems like they’re trying to get rid of inventory

  2. Tempting…. I’m still with the HTC Touch. This might be my next move.

  3. it would be more tempting if it were the Palm Pre Plus or Pixi Plus, since those are GSM/HSPA style phones and not CDMA.

  4. Nope. No way I’m getting a phone that Bell doesn’t want and whose future is murky. Bell must have tons of those phones in stock.

    It seems like every kiosk I walk by still has a demo version. My guess is they have inventory in the thousands.

    Untrue. HP already said they are going to develop on webOS, so more new phones are coming.

    Actually I’m seeing the opposite. The demos were all replaced with dummies, only place I still see a working demo unit is Eaton upper level.

  6. I agree with you Scott S, why is Bell providing us a “deal” with an older model of Palm? If anything this is only going to make people wait for new phones and plans to come.

    Really they should lower the cost of smartphone plans for all their phones, then people will probably buy smartphones no matter what brand it is.

  7. Sell the hardware division, out source the porting and work on webOS as a firmware alternative to legacy and non-smartphone devices…other then that…PALM IS DEAD PPL!!!

    walk away, cut ur losses and jump on the android ship…

    Correct, they are all dummies. That’s what I meant to say.

  9. I think its Bell way of 1) Lowering inventory
    2) Striking back against Wind, and the other new entrants
    3) Just getting people to buy the phone so they realize how awesome it is, and when HP releases there slew of WebOS based devices(which you know is going to come) they’re going to sell better
