Amazon has teamed up with Verizon Wireless to present what arguably is this years most exciting smartphone offer!

The offer includes a Palm Pre Plus smartphone for 1 cent  ($549 retail without a contract) in exchange for signing a 2 year service contract. As if that wasn’t incentive enough Verizon will waive the $40 monthly fee to turn your Palm Pre Plus or Palm Pixi Plus into a 3G mobile hotspot. The hotspot software allows your Pre to connect up to five Wifi enabled devices. A great way to provide Internet access to your new iPad, netbook or notebook while on the road. The data plan for the phone is unlimited but the hotspot service has a 5gb cap after which you are charged for the overage.
