$549 price tag While yesterday's main news event was the 1-2 punch of a firm release date and pricing information from Sprint, one additional Pre tidbit also emerged.

According to Precentral, the full retail price of the Pre without any subsidy or contract extension is going to be $549.99. While that is still a bit on the high side compared to recent unlocked Palm GSM devices, it's on par with Palm's traditional retail pricing for CDMA devices. To users currently entangled in a contract, the $999 Pre retail price indicated by Best Buy earlier this month thankfully appears to just be a placeholder.
