Verizon Wireless Announces Prices For Palm Pixi Plus & Pre Plus
Starting Monday, you'll be able to pick up the Palm Pre Plus
as well as the Palm Pixi Plus from Verizon Wireless. The new Palm Pre Plus will cost $149
and the Palm Pixi Plus will
run $99.99. Both prices are after a $100 mail-in rebate and with new two-year
customer agreement.
The prices are in-line with previous generations of the Palm Pre and Palm Pixi which are currently available exclusively through Sprint. Verizon Wireless will be the exclusive carrier of the Plus versions, which will require a data plan of $29.95 per month or higher.
The new Plus models offer a few improvements over the original versions. For starters, both phones will double as mobile Wi-Fi hotspots using a downloadable application. Up to five Wi-Fi equipped devices will be able to access the Internet through the phone using Verizon's CDMA 1x EV-DO Rev. A network. In addition, the Pre Plus gets double (512MB) the memory of the original. While the original Pixi didn't have Wi-Fi, the Pixi Plus does.
Both Palm Pre Plus and Palm Pixi Plus come travel-ready with a built-in 3G Mobile Hotspot – a Wi-Fi hotspot that can be shared among five Wi-Fi-capable devices. The 3G Mobile Hotspot is the perfect family vacation companion, and at $40 for 5 GB and 5 cents per megabyte overage, it provides an allowance big enough for sharing with the entire family for downloading games, Internet access and more.
Paired with Verizon Wireless’ new Nationwide Talk or Nationwide Talk & Text plans and a $29.99 monthly data plan, Palm Pre Plus is the perfect tool for the busy family manager, while Palm Pixi Plus is the perfect complement to a youngster as part of a Family SharePlan®. Verizon Wireless Nationwide Talk plans begin at $39.99 monthly access and Nationwide Talk & Text Plans begin at $59.99 monthly access. Nationwide Unlimited Talk Plans and Nationwide Unlimited Talk & Text Plans are available at $69.99 and $89.99 monthly access, respectively.
