If you’re itching to put a webOS device on your AT&T account and don’t mind having half the now-standard RAM , the developers at jictechnology have released what they’re claiming is an official, permanent SIM unlock for the original Palm Pre. A few bugs to get through, but it’s apparently legitimate enough (we haven’t tried, but the happy customers in the forums seem to suggest success) for the group to charge around
Today marks the O2 Palm Pre launch over at the UK. And O2 has been tweeting all morning about the Pre launch, reporting that the number of Palm Pre sold today exceeds the total number of handsets they sell on an average day. Not only that, over half of the people that bought a Pre also picked up a Touchstone!
Looks like final production units of GSM Palm Pre are ready for its launch in Europe. What you’re looking at on the right is what appears to be the official packaging for the O2 GSM Pre that is slated for a release in the coming weeks in the UK and Germany. Go to WebOS-Blog.de
It’s official, UK, Ireland, and Germany are bound to get the Pre on O2 where as Spain it will be Movistar, both exclusively. And you want a release date huh? Palm is trying to be creative here, so instead of saying “soon”, it’s “in time for the holidays”
The European Palm Pre is definitely coming, but which carrier and when is the release date? To start to pin that down, we present a little old, a little new, and try not to leave you a little blue.
A Palm Pre for Europe and AT&T in GSM is the next big thing we’re all waiting for. We had a chance to hold one ourselves at MWC in February , but since then Palm has kept the GSM Pre under tight wraps. Not anymore – Enzo has sent in links to photos and a video of the GSM version of the Palm Pre in Vietnam.
