It’s not like we’re surprised, quite the contrary. HP said it will sell the Palm Pre 2 unlocked from its website, allowing folks to use it with the network of their choice as long as they have a SIM card. The price is $450, though businesses can also spread the cost across two years to lease the webOS 2.0-powered smartphone for $13 a month.
At the moment, the Pre 2 is the only webOS game in town and also the only such device with a 1GHz CPU. I’m sure more smartphones and possibly a tablet will be unveiled at the upcoming CES in Las Vegas, but if you can’t wait and the small keyboard coupled with a 3.1-inch is good enough for you, there’s no need for postponing the decision. Proceed to this page on HP’s website and exchange your $450 for the QWERTY slider. Otherwise, if you’re not in a hurry, I would suggest waiting for few more months when I’m sure a larger screen-equipped webOS devices will be launched…
