Verizon has eliminated mail-in-rebates for the Palm Pre Plus and Pixi Plus.

The price for the Pixi is now $79.99 and the Pre Plus is $149.99 with new two-year contracts.  There has been much speculation on the current sales performance of the Palm WebOS handsets but according to a report, a Verizon spokeswoman explains that the elimination of the mail-in-rebates is not due to poor sales performance: “There was ‘a brief period where we tested mail-in rebates on some phones. We have found that online customers expect instant rebates and since this is a very competitive arena in which to do business, we responded accordingly.’”
