Hewlett-Packard finally announced details surrounding the launch of its first webOS tablet last week, but nary a peep was made about its upcoming flagship smartphone, the HP Pre 3. The TouchPad tablet will become available in the U.S. on July 1st starting at $499.99, and now it looks like the Pre 3 could launch exactly one week later on July 8th. U.K. retailer £349.99 (about $565) unlocked and contract-free, which is very reasonable for a brand new smartphone. On this side of the pond, we’re still expecting the Pre 3 to launch at $199.99 with a new two-year carrier agreement, and the availability of unlocked units is unknown. We’ve been waiting to get our hands on a production Pre 3 ever since we first saw the sleek smartphone back in early February, and it looks like the wait might almost be over.

Thanks, Joseph

    Being sold in Europe, it’s most likely a GSM phone which means that it’ll work on either AT&T or T-Mobile (likely to soon be one and the same).  However certain features may or may not work depending upon the frequencies supported and the carrier chosen.  There’s probably a good reason it’s not being released in the U.S. just yet…
