If you're interested then HP is actually selling all of Palm's WebOS phones free on a 2-year contract. This includes Sprint's and Verizon's own variants. More importantly, AT&T's Palm Pre Plus and Pixi Plus are available for free on a 2-year contract as well. They're also throwing in some bonus accessories into the mix as well, including an in-vehicle charger, a leather case, and a Bluetooth headset. Check it out here if you want to scoop one up.

It took them long enough. Canada's Bell has just slashed the price of their Palm Pre to $0 on a 2-year contract. This is pretty impressive considering that almost all Canadian phones are locked on 3-year contracts. Maybe the sales for this handset aren't that great. You can it for $299.95 contract-free as well. Check it out here.

The latest rumour states that webOS 1.4 is headed to the Palm Pre and the Pixi on February 25th. The rumoured Februrary 15th date clearly didn't happen, so it could really happen in three days. In case you forgot, version 1.4 of webOS will bring video recording capabilities.

It looks like Sprint's Palm Pre and Pixi could be getting a WebOS update to version 1.4 as early as February 15th. This'll bring the great new 2010 feature of video recording and editing. Rejoice!

According to Phone Arena's tipster, the Palm Pre Plus and Pixi Plus are going to launch for $149.99 and $99.99 on a 2-year contract, respectively, after rebates. They'll both be hitting Verizon in 10 days - January 25th - and they have some improvements over their original models. The Pre Plus has 16GB of internal storage and the Pixi has WiFi.

Just like the leak told us yesterday the Palm Pre Plus and the Pixi Plus are headed to Verizon. Both handsets will be available on January 25th. The Pre Plus will have double the RAM and ROM and up to 16GB of internal storage. As you can see in the image above the silver button has disappeared. The Pixi Plus will be WiFi-equipped.

Palm has mentioned that video recording is headed to WebOS along with Flash Support (beta) in WebOS 1.4. The updates should be on their way "soon" whenever that is.

We all know that Verizon will be launching the Palm Pre Plus and the Palm Pixi plus, but we didn't know what the differences would be from their original counterparts. To be honest, there's not much of a difference. The Palm Pre Plus will have 16GB of internal storage and the Pixi Plus will have WiFi support. Both additions are welcomed, but I was expecting more to be honest.

Yes, AT&T is planning to launch five Android handsets this year, but they've also announced that they plan to launch two WebOS handsets as well. We don't know what they'll be but there are only 2 WebOS handsets right now, that's the Pre and the Pixi. Maybe we'll see a new WebOS from Palm this year, but we'll just have to wait and see.

Finally! The Palm Pre, in Canada on Bell, is now available for free on a 3-year contract, thanks to Wireless Wave. This handset was Palm's first WebOS device and it's a pretty damn good smartphone. I don't know why it's not getting much of a buzz, but I don't really expect it too. Of course, with this $0 price, you'll be stuck on a 3-year contract. Check it out here.

Verizon has been on a roll lately, especially when they launched the Motorola DROID. Well, the ugly sibling of the DROID (above) is the Motorola Calgary which Verizon could actually be launching as the Devour. This handset will feature: a 3MP camera, a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, and MOTOBLUR over top of Android 2.1! The software doesn't help make the hardware look anymore attractive though.

The rumours also state that there's a new Palm phone in Verizon's inventory and it's the Palm Pre Plus. At this point we don't know how this handset will differ from the Palm Pre on Sprint, but maybe we'll see this at CES 2010 or MWC 2010. Only time will tell.

The last handset that is being tossed around is the LG VS750. This handset will reportedly be running Windows Mobile 6.5, but we don't have a picture of it yet.

In Canada, the Palm Pre is now just $24.95 CAD on a 3-year contract on Bell via Wireless Wave. This is the cheapest deal we've found on this smartphone yet, so it's definitely a steal. Well, except for the fact that you won't be getting Bell's new HSPA speeds with this handset. Check it out on their website here.

It looks like Amazon has cut the price of the Palm Pre yet again, this time lower than the iPhone 3G. For $79.99 you can get the Palm Pre on Amazon USA's website. Of course, you're tied down to a 2-year contract on Sprint. Check it out on Amazon here.

Wireless Wave usually has some of their handsets cheaper than the actual carrier in Canada and they're back at it again. This time it's the Palm Pre again. It's now available for $49.95 CAD on a 3-year contract with Bell. In comparison, Bell has the handset for $99.95. I believe it's worth it, but at this pace we could see it be free on contract by the end of the year. Check out more here.
