When you practically give it away...

You know it's a flop.

Sad thing is Webos is amazing. I am carrying the Pre right now and I love it....quirky ass issues aside. But you are right....flop central. 😢
...
I've seen VZW and AT&T sell high end phones cheap before, everything from WM to BB's. I see no big deal here.
...
unfortunately the big deal is that they are trying to burn through their stock to get them off the shelves.....
...
it does suck bc web os is a wonderfull operating sys. problems it faced, with the sprint release anyway, were mainly exchange email support esp when a cert was required. that and, at least on the sprint version, the hardware was/is TERRIBLE

The only time you see it for this low is if it is End of Life (after a 1-2 year run) and even then, most of them require a mail in rebate.
The Pre Plus is also INSANELY expensive retail compared to most other phones (600 is more than the incredible)
So not only is it cheap, but:
1: It doesn't have a MIR
2: It is offering basically a free MiFi access (40 a month value)
2: the device was launched only a few months ago, so it's not at the typical End of Life, meaning FLOP
...
So why don't they simply make it free?

Not sure really.. maybe hoping that they'll flush remaining stock at 30?
