While the Germans were busy getting the Pre out into the hands of anxious customers, O2 United Kingdom decided to celebrate the launch with a party featuring a slew of UK celebrities like Matthew Horne, Alphabeat, Mel B (aka Scary Spice), VV Brown, and Jade Jagger. Members of the press, O2 employees, and some invited special O2 subscribers hopped onto the roof of the fashionable Shoreditch House in London. So a ton of celebrities got their hands on the phone early, and the rest of the UK, along with Ireland, will have to wait until Friday to get their own. Meanwhile, the cats on Telefonica in Spain can buy the Pre today, as in now.

In Spain we can buy the Pre today???

I went to 4 Movistar shops today and only the last one knew what I was talking about when I asked about the Palm Pre and they said that they will not get the phone before a few weeks. :-(

Hi jdevora,
yes, you can buy it today in Spain. I did it in Madrid, but I need to wait 5/7 days until I can use it because I'm changing from vodafone to movistar.

In Germany there was a more or less well known celebrity at the hannover event namend "G

Hi! Could you write about the first spanish apps? Thanks!

I don't speak spanish, but here is a list:

Trafico (app that shows jams, i want this one for Germany!)
El Tiempo Terra (weather app)
Terra Tecnologia (some kind of newsreader, i guess)
Terra Noticias (some kind of newsreader, i guess)
Invertia (some kind of newsreader, i guess)
Terra Deportes (some kind of newsreader, i guess)

except for Trafico (Mobivery) all the apps are made by Telefonica

Thank you!
I think Trafico is the only one that worth it.

What a great party. Who is singing that song (I'm Always Out With You?) in the background. I love it.
