run-down of what the Pre has to offer:

If you're looking to avail yourself of a Palm Pre via Sprint we can
confirm that its on offer for just shy of $550 which, allowing for a
$250 'instant saving' and a mail-in rebate of $100 brings the price down
to a not unreasonable $200 based on a two year contract.
