O2 Germany’s Palm Pre Gets Pictured

Thrystan — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 01:01:53 +0000

O2 Germany is surely having a bit of the GSM Palm Pre pie, as soon as possible, specially since the smartphone is scheduled to reach Europe in a couple of weeks. Till it does, we have this leaked photo to have a look at, portraying the webOS phone in the wild.

This GSM Palm Pre was also leaked with a bunch of final box art and a localized keyboard. We remind you that Pre was announced back in February 2009 and it packs a sliding full QWERTY keyboard and a 3.1 inch TFT capacitive touchscreen display with a 320 x 480 pixels resolution.

The internal memory is 8GB, while the specs list of the Palm Pre also includes a 3.15 megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, HSDPA connectivity, a 3.5mm audio jack, an accelerometer and GPS.

Will Sprint Launch Palm Pixi This Month?

Cristi Simion — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 13:33:55 +0000

Sprint will launch Palm Pixi sooner than expected, so all interested should stay tuned. Boy Genius Report claims that this handset will hit the market no later than the 20th of October and it appears that it will be available through the Sprint stores and via Best Buy.

Pixi will come with webOS 1.2 and what’s for sure it’s that it will not escape the comparison with its bigger brother Palm Pre. Designed with a thin Centro-style form factor, Pixi can be thought as a cheaper version of the Pre and I’m sure it will have its share of fans.

Bell Sells Palm Pre Starting August 27th

Thrystan — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 19:32:02 +0000

Bell will start selling Palm Pre from August 27th, after the handset was a pretty big success in the US, being sold via Sprint. If the rumours are true, Sprint only has the exclusivity for Pre till the year end, so we might see the new Palm webOS device in other US carriers’ portofolio from 2010.

Future customers will be able to pre-order the phone right now, for about $199.95 with a 3 year contract, but they can also select a $599.95 with no contract and a 500MB per month plan.

We remind you that Palm Pre is the iPhone’s main rival, specially thanks to its webOS operating system, the large touchscreen-QWERTY keyboard combo and there’s even some sort of App Store supported (Palm App Catalog).

Palm Pre Coming to Verizon in Early 2010

Thrystan — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 22:36:37 +0000

Since Pre is selling so well on Sprint and Best Buy even afford to make the mistake of selling it for $99, Verizon also wants a piece of the fresh Palm pie and they’re not ashamed to admit it. This, in spite of the fact that Sprint’s CEO, Dan Hesse was betting on a longer exclusivity for Pre.

Now, we learn that Verizon will be selling Palm’s first webOS phone starting from early 2010, just when Sprint’s exclusivity ends, unless they do something about it.

Looking forward to also seeing the iPhone switching sides, although this would a much more delicate affair, since you can’t compete with AT&T so easily and take away their biggest cash cow ever.
