Still haven’t managed to get your hands on the Palm Pre? You’re not alone. The webOS powered device is in high demand these days, and stores are gearing up to sell-out of the next-wave of Pre’s. Case in point, Best Buy.
Latest word is some Best Buy locations may be adopting a policy used in the past with the iPhone. To get in on the pre-order, you’ll have to cough up $50 in exchange for a gift card. The card can then be used towards your purchase of the Palm Pre. Think of it as your ‘golden ticket’ to your shiny new Pre. This is kind of nice in a way… Eliminates the need to stand in line a day ahead of time in hopes of getting one of the coveted devices. No fuss, no stress… Oh, it’ll feel so good when you get it in your hands, right?
My advice? Check in with your local Best Buy store to inquire about current inventory and pre-order policy. The next shipment of Pre’s is due to hit us sometime around July 8th.
