After last week’s news that Verizon slashed Pre Plus and Pixi Plus prices, it’s certainly no secret that Palm and Verizon are working together to boost Palm’s sales numbers. Today Precentral received an anonymous tip saying that come April 6th, Verizon will be offering the two-year subsidized prices for many dumphone-touting individuals. Basically if you aren’t using a 3G smartphone currently, and have had the line for at least 6 months without buying a subsidized phone in the last year, you are eligible for your choice of a discounted Palm Pre Plus or Palm Pixi Plus. Not a bad deal considering the phones ring in at $49.99 and $29.99 respectively.

Keep in mind however, that going through with the deal will extend your contract for another two years and you will not be eligible to purchase another subsidized phone for a full year. That said, this is still a pretty killer deal for customers that have locked themselves into a seemingly inescapable two-year contract with an under equipped feature phone or crappy flip phone. If you have been waiting for that contract to end and you meet the requirements, this may be a perfect time to jump to the WebOS. Tack on the free Mobile Hotspot app that Verizon and Palm are now offering and you have yourself one heck of a good deal.

We don’t generally talk about WebOS here on The Cellular Guru, but rest assured we stand behind Palm’s latest endeavor and, for no other reason than to root for the underdog and to respect a good product when we see it, we’d love to see the platform prosper (especially over other burgeoning, unncessary ones *ahemBADAahem*). This Verizon push, coupled with the Pre Plus and Pixi Plus coming to AT&T in the next couple months, proves that their last gasp may indeed be a powerful one.
