GSM Palm Pre now looking at 'autumn' launch in Germany

You know, we admire Palm's patience. We knew a GSM Pre was in the works about 8.43 minutes after its CES presser ended in January, and we've been waiting all this time for some carrier in some part of the New World to grab hold of a GSM version of the world's first webOS handset. If you'll recall, we last heard that O2 Germany would be giving its loyal users the chance to get that very handset before the holiday season, but now an updated image on the site clearly indicates that it's coming this fall. As in, before winter. As in, within the next few months. As in, not nearly soon enough.

The pre was a success in the US because americans could basically just choose between that or the iPhone, but Europeans are used to heavily subsidised N97s, HTC Hero and TouchHD, Omnia HD, and Omnia pro,and very soon, HTC Leo and Nokia N900.
The pre has got his job cut for it.

GSM/EDGE only or GSM/EDGE/3G ?
