GSM Palm Pre bound for Mexico, coming to Telcel on November 27th

Remember that FCC filing for a GSM-loving North American Palm Pre? Looks like the mystery's been solved, Encyclopedia Brown, and our culprit is just south of the border. As previously rumored, Mexico's Telcel will get the Pre, SIM card slot and all. Launch date is November 27th, just in time for the US to be thankful for an online community ready to unlock and import this stateside.

[Thanks, Andres]

Anyone know what's the 3G freq of Telcel?

I think its 850/1900/210... same as AT&T... If someone would confirm it, it would be great. How can engadget publish a story like this not not tell us the freqs... crazy!!!

Now I'm torn between N900 and this

The band support on it is HSDPA 850/1900. Many manufacturers don't include 2100Mhz on Latin American models to keep costs down.

So that's a no-go on AT&T?

ATT is only 850/1900

Yes on AT&T, no on T-Mobile. HSDPA 850/1900 is AT&T.
