SFR rebate knocks Pre 2 down to 1€ 29

At 99.90€, the Pre 2 on SFR isn’t a bad deal. In fact, we might say it’s a pretty decent deal. But how does 1€ sound? Très bon, hein? The price cut comes courtesy of a mail-in rebate (and we thought those were just the province of Sprint) for 98.90€, bringing it all down to a singular Euro. Of course, there’s a catch to getting the rebate: you need to sign up for at least one year with one of SFR’s Multi-Pack plans. Don’t feel bad - thanks to the service plan SFR will make all that money back (and then some). You've got until the 15th of November to take advantage of the rebate, so if you're up to it we suggest moving with expedience.
Of course, we’d love to hear how much the Pre 2 is going to cost on some other networks, let along how much it’ll be discounted.

man I wish HP would step up and be like "Look we are not coming out with any super new phones anytime soon. So anyone that has the original pre will get the pre 2 for free. ON SPRINT!." (this will prevent me from switching to the Evo)
Sprint probably wants you to switch to EVO.
And why? Because they can charge you a $10 premium to use it, that's why.
This is more & more looking like the Pre2 will be for businesses and dev's. Carriers that got in now get a deal when the next batch designs roll in..
I wish it was released for a dollar in USA.
Don't worry it will get there.
At that price if it did come to Sprint I would be sorely tempted...
As opposed to what other option?
Waiting for whatever comes next... I like my Pre and will stick with it for awhile but if something much better comes along why not get it?
True. I'm in the same boat. I like using webos but I like form factor of the Iphone & HTC Evo more.
tempted without soreness?
Nooo! I want the Pre and the Epic to have a baby! lol
ooo. giving birth to that baby would really cause soreness.
Nice. Even with my Sprint rebate my Pre cost me $50, but to get the Pre 2 at around $2, not sure on the exchange rate, that's awesome
So few sold they already have to give them away ... wow, what a great phone this must be!
Tell me about it. Is this the quickest launch-to-fire sale period we've ever seen for a smartphone?
At least SFR is in good company in the ranks of carriers burnt by WebOS.
You can already find Windows Phone 7 devices on sale. I have seen them as low as $15 with a new contract. WP7 phones are so new that it cannot be because of low sales yet. The fact is at this time of year, there will be lots of sales on all phones.
Seeems like a good deal to me :P
I agree with the chap who suggests HP do a deal for original pre owners, (In the UK HP Palm are distrubuting it themselves, so say offer the pre 2 for 50-100 quid, I would defo get on board and be convinced for the next phone out when my contract runs out.)
Lends even more credence to this being an "after-thought" release, i.e. only because they had it in the pipeline before the acquisition. Probably also the reason Sprint didn't jump on board. They know something better is lurking beyond and didn't want to sell their customers short with the Pre 2... or I could just be too idealistic. :-P
They wouldn't be selling their customers short. This is a good mid-tier phone. It's certainly better than any Blackberry, and Sprint is still selling those. Sprint could've offered the Pre 2 as a mid-tier phone and HP's next phone as a high-end phone to cater to multiple audiences.
First to like it BIATCHES.. the first comment done mean anything anymore.. its all about the first to like on facef#ck
Gotta love the Palmplainers (Palm Complainers) on this site. They will NEVER be satisfied:
1) "400 Pounds for the Unlocked Pre 2? HAHA omg thats wayyy too expensive what the hell is HP thinking."
2) "OMG 1 Euro for the Pre 2 at SFR...wow talk about a crappy product when its going for that cheap. If it was a good product it would sell for 400 Euros."
3) 200 Dollars for a Pre 2? That is such an average price range HP what are you thinking? So average it will never stick out from the competition with that kinda price!
:/
Strange, you are complaining about complainers. How ironic.
lol
this is typical for euro selling plans nothing new here to see walk on you nagging americans...
lmao
gee, that didnt take long for a price drop. never saw that coming....
thats why i am going to hold out for the pre2 to come down in price in the UK. However considering no UK carriers taking on the pre2 i doubt it will come down in price the way it did in France. I just hope come CES, HP blows the pants off people just like palm did back in 2009.
as someone already stated..Its more of an after thought release. A phone that was already in the pipeline..it's that cheap probably just to sell as many as possible before January. I'm sure our "superphone" should be announced and released that month. All those phone carriers are more than likely partners for the next device that is why HP is releasing unlocked versions of the pre 2 everywhere. It will end up being a developer device and come packaged with HP's computer and/or given away to top developers.
