If you’re hungry for a Pre and you are unable to abide Sprint, there is a relatively safe, roundabout way to get your mitts on a Palm Pre with it’s webOS magic — from Amazon.com. You can get an unlocked Pre from Amazon via Speileparadies Rustem for EUR 399,99, or about $598.19 bucks. Unfortunately, you will also need a middle-man for shipping because Speileparadies Rustem, a German company, will not ship internationally. Yes, this purchase method does present a couple hoops to jump through, but aren’t a couple hoops worth an unlocked Palm Pre? What do you think?

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.

For a while there, Sprint discontinued online sales of the Palm Pre and customers needed to hit their local Sprint stores to buy it. Now, the convenience of online shopping has returned with the Pre being sold through Amazon.com for $199 with contract. Surf on over to Amazon and pick up a new Pre on Sprint’s network and enjoy some free shipping too. If you don’t want to wait on a few days for shipping, you can always buy it the old-fashioned way at a Sprint store.
