Palm Pre Crazy

I am excited about the new Palm Pre that is coming out. I spend enough time on the phone, (...interestingly enough, not answering it.) that I don't mind spending a few extra bucks on my phone.

Check it out online at http://www.sprint.com/palmpre.

iPhone users, it's a war.

It's not available until the 6th and I imagine that it's going to be hard to get then.

I called Sprint (...who Lisa and I often refer to as an trench coat wearing agent of the devil.) today to find out about it and they said that it will be available at select Best Buy, Radio Shack, and Wal-Mart stores.
Today, "Nicole" (Usually, I expect to be speaking with Beelzebub himself.) told me that the price of the phone is $549.99. I have a $150.00 phone upgrade credit and there is a $100.00 instant rebate credit, so it would only be $299.99. She also said that there is a $100.00 mail in rebate. (Fuck that, I tried that twice and was denied both times after fighting for months.) She told me that if I go to one of the third party stores, they treat the last mail in rebate as an instant rebate and I can get it from them right away making the final cost only $199.99. Cool. Now let's see if that's really the case.
I don't want to have to go crazy or go on a wild goose chase to get this phone, but man, I sure am looking forward to it.
