Pretty Tempting!!!!
Best Buy may not be launching the Pre exclusively, but it's probably the place to go if you're scouting one come June 6th. Why? Pretty simple, really -- you'll leave the joint with an extra Benjamin in your purse. You see, those who waltz into a Sprint store will be forced to pay $299.99 up front (with a two-year contract) and wait eons for a $100 mail-in rebate to return. Over at Best Buy Mobile, you'll pay $199.99 free and clear, sign your contract and proceed to send us loads of personal hands-on shots. Be honest -- which scenario sounds superior to you?
Well I have to get one for my mom! Her B-Day is May 26th and I was hoping the Pre would be released before her b-day but I think she can wait another week and a half.
They said it it like a mixture between the centro and treo pro.
In that case count me out.
I just played with a treo pro yesterday no thanks.
That keyboard is not for guy's fingers.
Way to cramped for my style

I might go to the store and see it in my hand, 199.99 is not bad especially in a tax free state, lol, and even if I dont like it I have a year to switch back to a blackberry, I am really torn about this
These companies need to get with the times, there should really be rebates you have to sign up for online atleast!!! Really rebates should be outlawed, lol, I have had alot of rebates in my lifetime that I could have bought a new 2010 Camaro just didnt want to wait forever to get the check
Rebates are a hassle but not a deal breaker for me. Sprint does handle their rebates better than most they provide you a tracking # and have never taken longer than advertised in getting it back to me. Besides whats better than getting a check in the mail that you totally forgot about. lol
