Sprint Yanks $100 Credit Offer On Palm Pre, Says Oops

Earlier today, Sprint made news by effectively cutting the price of a Palm Pre to $99 for new Sprint customers, after a $100 credit. Now Sprint is saying it was a publishing error and not a valid offer.

Smartly, Sprint is honoring the offer for anyone who happened to sign up today while it was being advertised—so some lucky few are getting their hands on a $99 Palm Pre very soon.
