Palm Phones Practically Being Given Away By Verizon

Verizon Wireless slashed prices on their Palm WebOS devices this past week, knocking down the price of the Pre Plus and Pixi Plus to unheard-of levels. The reduced price of the pre Plus is down to $49 for two and the Pixi Plus down to $29 for two.

Even more shockingly, Verizon reduced the price of their Mobile Hotspot feature, the feature that turns Palm devices into WiFi hotspots for your laptop, from a whopping $40 a month to free.

 

This makes the Palm pair the best deal at Verizon if you are with the carrier right now. It also makes them considerably cheaper ways to get your laptop online than using a dedicated USB modem, which would cost $60 a month, rather than being free. One thing to keep in mind is the fact that with the Verizon Wireless connection, you’re under a 5GB per month usage cap.

Although Verizon Wireless confirmed the new pricing, they did not say how long the deal would last, so if you are interested in an inexpensive smartphone/WiFi router, now would be a good time to make your final decision.
