Palm Pre To Hit Europe By Christmas With Telefónica
by editor on Jul.07, 2009, under TechCrunch
There were a few leaks and rumors about this last week, but now it’s been officially confirmed that the Palm Pre will launch exclusively with mobile network Telefónica, initially in four major European markets. Spain, United Kingdom, Ireland and Germany will get the device first on the O2 and Movistar networks, just before the winter holidays. Pricing has not been announced.
This is something of a coup since, at least in the UK, Telefónica-owned O2 already has the iPhone deal, thus making it the sole arbiter of two of the hottest phones right now. OK, the Pre maybe isn’t as hot as it was pre-launch, but it remains to be seen how European mobile obsessives will react to the handset.
