Palm Pre drops to $99 at LetsTalk online store, for a limited time

It's a limited time offer, and the handset is currently out of stock -- you'll have to wait a few days for delivery -- but cutesy online phone retailer LetsTalk is offering the Pre for a mere $99 after a $100 rebate and a $100 instant discount. This sort of price flexibility bodes well for the truly budget conscious eying this phone, though as demonstrated time and time again: you're saving a lot more in the long run with a cheap plan than a cheap phone, something that's been a lock since day one with the Pre.

Is Caller ID considered as a premium service in the US?

Last I looked, this site makes you wait 6 months before you can even submit your rebate. Definitely not 'cutesy' as the name would suggest.

They did this because Verizon dropped all PDA/Smartphones/BlackBerrys to 99.99 and under except the Saga and Tour. Yes, the Touch Pro which was like 349.99 or 399.99 is now 99.99. Along with teh Touch Diamond and Omnia.

You have to submit the rebate between 120 and 180 days from the day you entered service, with a copy of your 4th bill showing paid in full, and then it will take 8-10 weeks to get the rebate.

I'm glad you pointed this out. People need to know what a pain in the butt LetsTalk can be. Too many hoops to jump through. I considered buying from them when we switched to verizon, but I ended up buying directly from vzw and we received our rebates very quickly.
