Verizon Phasing out the Palm Pre Plus

Ok, take this news how you will. Verizon is phasing out the Palm Pre Plus. It’s all there is Black and White (and red and green, too). Engadget Mobile got their hands on some pictures of Verizon’s inventory system. You can see from the picture that Verizon Wireless is planning on phasing it out.

We’ve all heard that the Pre’s sales on Verizon did not go as well as hoped. Could Verizon be ditching the Pre Plus because they weren’t selling great, and they expect to just sell out of the current stock? Are they trying to weed out some smartphones in order to make room for a rumored smartphone from a company in Cupertino? Could it be because they are trying to make room for a new Palm high-end phone in a few months?

Let’s hope that the latter is the case. You can see that Verizon hasn’t put the Pixi Plus in a “Phase Out” status. We all know that Verizon is the biggest carrier of Android phones, but hopefully they will continue to sell webOS phones as well. We’ll be keeping our fingers crossed that the reason Verizon is phasing out the Pre Plus is because they want to be ready to carry a brand-spanking new high-end webOS phone.
