Sprint's unlimited plan can save you more than $1,200 over the 2-year contract vs. AT&T's
It’s now official, Sprint will launch the much-anticipated Palm Pre on June 8th – in 20 days – for $200, with a two-year service agreement and after a $100 mail-in rebate (I hate those!).
The Palm Pre will be available nationwide in Sprint stores, Best Buy, Radio Shack, in some Wal-Mart stores and online at Sprint.com.
Palm Pre is $1 more expensive than Apple iPhone, but Sprint’s unlimited plan is $50/month cheaper than AT&T’s!
At $200, the Sunnyvale, Calif.-company latest smartphone is a tat more expensive ($1!) than Apple’s 8GB iPhone 3G.
However, if you look at the monthly phone bill – the most important expense over the contract agreement – Sprint’s Simply Everything plan (unlimited voice and data) is $50 per month cheaper than the equivalent plan at AT&T or a $1,200 savings over two years!
Can’t beat that.
Bottom line, if you’re a heavy phone user, and don’t have an iPhone yet or looking to stop being a cash cow for AT&T, the Palm Pre/Sprint combination is an attractive alternative.
