Amazon has the new Palm Pre Plus (Verizon) marked down to a relatively cheap $49 (requires 2 year contract) with no rebate required. This bests the official price on Verizon Wireless by $100 and is $30 cheaper than the Sprint version (less memory). The Palm Pre Plus has had generally good reviews though has been hampered by an initial lack of third party applications when it was first introduced on Sprint last year. The device has also been criticized for seeming sluggish although a recent 1.4 OS upgrade appears to have diminished speed complaints somewhat. The strength of the Palm Pre Plus is that it easily synchronizes your contacts, calendar and emails from a variety of sources (Google being one of the most popular) along with the social contacts from Facebook. The biggest downside to the phone is that Palm recently issued a warning that the devices aren’t selling nearly as well as they projected causing many to question how long Palm can survive as an independent entity.

I haven’t seen a lot of advertising for the Verizon Palm Pre Plus. One ad which did just pop up and caught my attention appears to confirm that the Palm Pre Plus is a Mom phone. At least according to this ad copy which states that the Palm Pre Plus and Palm Pixi are smart enough for your mom. They notify without interrupting, organize on command, and they’re nothing like your kids. Of the two devices – the Palm Pre Plus is the far superior choice — and I’d recommend grabbing one via Amazon (assuming you’re buying for mom) which will cost $149 and won’t subject you to the rebate olympics.

It’s not yet live for pre-orders but the Amazon main screen promises that it will be soon.  Initial pricing on the Verizon Palm Pre Plus, after 2 year contract, is presently displayed at $149 (that’s with rebate already included). With twice the RAM and storage this sister to the Sprint Palm Pre has been reviewed as not much to drool over. It’s moderately faster and will be mainly of interest to those wanting to use a WebOS based device on Verizon. Look for the official launch this Monday January 25. While the contract free price has yet to be displayed it’s worth noting that the list price showing is $699 and that most other contract free phones sold by Amazon are priced $20 – $30 above list. Worth noting that Wirefly is showing the Palm Pre Plus at $99 after contract and the Palm Pixi as a freebie after contract.
