Palm Pre comes to us at Christmas

This morning, Palm has published on its website the official announcement of the start of sales of Palm Pre phones in Europe.

Reportedly, the device will be sold exclusively in the stores of O2 (United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany) and Movistar (Spain) telecom operators. Sales will begin "before Christmas" (perhaps in November). Prices are not yet called, in America it costs $ 199.99.

Interestingly, the operator O2 already owns exclusive rights to the iPhone, including the new model of the iPhone 3G S.

By the way, from the network of the operator Movistar, our traders have long established channels for the delivery of "gray" phones to Russia and Belarus (they sell directly on the markets with operator logos).

Whether Europe will use the same methods of creating an artificial shortage that Palm uses in the US market is not reported.
