Our Canadian friends can now get their Palm Pre for the same price as us Yanks, albeit for a short time. Best Buy Mobile has discounted the Pre by 25%, dropping the price down to $150. How short of a time? You have until September 24th (i.e. Tomorrow) to take advantage of the sale. So if you Canucks been waiting for a chance to buy a Pre for a good price, now is your chance.

I wouldn't advise this. Best Buy doesn't actually run it's mobile site. It's contracted out to an online wireless merchant with customer service setup in India. They are clueless and hard to deal with. I've been hung up on twice and put back into the hold system two more times trying to get back the extra $50 I paid a couple of days before the price drop (in the US). Still no luck. I've thought about call the Better Business Bureau, but I have no adress for them. Not to mention it took FIVE days to port my number over to Sprint from Verizon.
Go to a brick and mortar store when buying a phone, even if it costs a bit more, it's worth it. (I've had Best Buy people who basically laughed at me, knowing that their mobile site is a joke.)
Attention Best Buy shoppers: save $50 on a Bell Pre, and if you order today you will receive infinitely delayed updates at no extra charge!
Are you tired of constantly being interrupted by friends and family sending you Instant Messages on Yahoo or Microsoft Messenger? You can end that problem immediately by purchasing a Palm Pre, since we don't even have native clients for those services!
Here at Palm our motto is "If there's a feature you'd like to see, learn to live with disappointment, because being miserable builds character! And we all know how women love character!" We're so committed to maintaining compatibility with one crappy music service that we're willing to alienate our entire customer base to do it!
Don't feel too bad about missing features, though. We'll make it up to you every Thursday by releasing 15 games that were old when the VIC-20 was young!

Sorry if that sounded a little bitter.

I bought my pre at Costco and you get a instant $100 in costco gift cards so it made my Pre only $99.00 and they include the car charger with it i think its a much better deal
