Palm Pre Anouncement for Europe on September 15th? 14

by CTL Advance Fri, 11 Sep 2009 2:34 pm EDT

PC Advisor and PalmPre.pl bring word that Palm plans to give the GSM version of the Palm Pre a little show and tell with the press on Sept 15th. This comes among an announcement for the technology event PlayBite, where companies gather to showcase new products. Palm's definitely on the confirmed exhibitor list, so it's a safe bet that the GSM Pre will be trotted out once again.

The Pre's release on Telefonica, O2, and Movistar is still officially "in time for Christmas," but rumors continue to suggest an October release is possible. Hey Palm - an announcement of a more specific date would be peachy, we want to know just how long we have to save our money for the import.

Hope they release it in October so that our European brethren can get their Pre on. More Pre's out there, hopefully more apps.

The more Pre's the merrier is my moto.

but you should not let it unmentioned, that at that price your connection speed will be cut down to GPRS speed after 200MB

btw... from where did you get the 17. oct as a release date?

Every man woman and child should have one. Palm should make them 49.00 so everyone will buy one and use walmart's more volume philosophy. Then in response, sprint can lower rate plans even more, and everyone will be on sprint

And then when everyone is on Sprint maybe they'll finally have the resources to bring some decent coverage and some EVDO to my area so I could also use a Pre.

Enough with the announcements already!!!!
We've heard about the phone enough, we've even seen a GSM version months ago.
Now it's time to buy!

You would pay $1100 for a phone?

Frankly, with the rumors of a 'revised' (16Gb) Pre coming up, and some details missing in the feature set (video recording, MSN IM/hotmail integration) I can wait a little longer, no problem.

As long as it shows up for sale in Asia somehow by November...
