Palm Pre 2 available in UK tomorrow SIM-free

mobile

Oh Palm/HP, why do you continue to taunt those from your home country? Two weeks ago, the Palm Pre 2 — complete with webOS 2.0 — launched on wireless provider SFR in France. Now… before any U.S. company has even gotten a sniff, HP is launching a SIM-free Pre 2 in the UK. Blog Pocket-lint is reporting that HP confirmed the unlocked, unbranded Pre 2 will be available to our friends across the pond starting tomorrow; price was not disclosed.

Rumors — that HP actually started via its Facebook page — indicated that the device would be available to developers here in the U.S. starting November 8th. Sadly, said rumors did not materialize. Looks like those here in the U.S. of A. still longing to get their hands on webOS 2.0 will just have to long a little… um, longer?

    Hopefully that billion dollar investment from HP will pay off soon on this side of the pond. The longer Palm waits to release new hardware, another nail goes into the WebOS coffin.

      People thought the same of Motorola a couple years back.

    I guess this is confirmation that the Pre 2 is being released with the same micro-sized screen, and micro keyboard that everyone hated the first time around?

    Hopefully the rumors are true that HP will come out with the other screen sizes or different style phones. A 3.8″-4.0″ palm pre phone would be killer.

    I hope that the pre 2 comes out sooner then later. I would like to have one, but if things go the way they do then a verizon iphone will come out first… and we know that that might never happen….

    I hate the pre’s form factor. Looks like an altoid case or something.
