It happened before and is happening again — Amazon is selling the Palm Pre for just $99.99 — no rebates, no hoops to jump through. If the price alone isn’t enough to help you pull the trigger, how about free 2-day shipping AND $5 worth of free MP3 downloads?

This is very interesting news indeed, particularly in light of the imminent release of the Palm Pixi for the same price. However, Sprint will require a $100 mail-in rebate, so your out-of-pocket expense for Pixi bliss is $199.99. The Pre also offers more firepower with a faster processor and WiFi. If the super-thin form-factor of the Pixi is what you are looking for, then it may be the handset for you. Or, you can head over to Amazon now and pick up a Pre for just $99.99, period.
