O2 has recently announced that it will be adding the Palm’s Pre Smartphone to it’s handset lineup. The new Pre has a Web operating system and will be available to O2 customers beginning on the 16th of October of this year. The Palm Pre will be available in the U.K. exclusively through O2, Carphone Warehouse, Phones4U and other O2 partner distributors. Later in October it will also be available in Ireland and Germany.
The GSM and UMTS version of the Pre will also be available, much different than the CDMA version that Sprint has been offering for several months. Besides the different network support, the two versions of the Palm Pre are very much identical.
O2 has made a very appealing offer, making it available for free on two different contracts: a 24 month contract, priced at 34.26 GBP per month; and on a 18 month contract at 44.05 GBP a month. All of the contracts for the Palm Pre include unlimited WiFi access through The Cloud and BT Openzone, and domestic HSDPA data.
