Oops? Sprint cancels $100 Palm Pre switcher rebate after just a few hours

Less than half a day after Sprint announced that they’d be offering a $100 service credit to subscribers that switch from another carrier and buy a Pre, they’ve cancelled the promotion. That didn’t last long, did it? Here’s Sprint’s official statement on the cancellation:

“After further internal review today, the offer of a port-in service credit of $100 to new customers who buy the Palm Pre has been pulled, because it was put into the system in error.”

Sprint will still honor the discount to anybody that managed to take advantage of the offer in the six hours it was available.
