We all remember when the Palm Pre was announced back on May 19th. Back then we were told that the Pre would be available from Sprint’s own stores, together with Best Buy, Radio Shack and selected Wal-Mart stores.

For those of you who rather not walk to one of those stores – or don’t want to deal with Sprint’s MIR – we bring good news to you. Since August the 1st, you can order a Palm Pre from Amazon.com too. The best thing is, you don’t have to deal with any mail in rebates. That means that you pay $199.99 when you buy the Pre with a two year contract with Sprint.

If you want to check it out for yourself, simply head on over to Amazon.com and enter your Zip Code on the right hand side of the site to check availability. Now, if you want to buy the Palm Pre without a contract, Amazon is also the place to go. They have the Pre for less than Sprint itself; only $499.99.
