According to TechRadar, Palm is refusing to confirm much in the way of details about when/how the Pre is coming to the UK!
A website teaser was thought to be the proof needed, but it would seem no – the device vendor won’t confirm much above:
“The Pre will launch with Sprint in the US only, in the first half of this calendar year, and we hopethe devicewill also come to Europe in 2009,” a spokesperson for Palm said. At this point, though, we have nothing more specific to announce regarding European carriers nor exact European availability dates.”
Kerrrrrrumbs – how non-commital is that?!
Personally the Pre doesn’t do it all for me – so this news doesn’t upset or anger me – but I know there are plenties of peeps out there who are drooling at the new device, and wanna get their hands all over it. Let’s hope that Palm comes up with something more definitive within the next quarter.

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
