I don't mind as long as they (Nokia) releases an N900 version with GSM/HSDPA 850,1900, 2100 frequencies...

FINALLY!!!

Palm has just officially announced the Palm Pré release date on Mexico's Telcel carrier.

Suddenly, November 27 seems so far away!!! LOL....

Seems like Telcel's Palm Pré lauch date has been shifted a bit to the first quarter of November 2009.

Let's wait and see...

Price around $7K mexican pesos or $540 USD

I still don't have my Pré and I already know pretty much everything there is to it thanks to the SDK's Pre Emulator... Despite it's complex looks, the WebOS enviroment is pretty much piece of cake! ... I'm also starting to create some simple apps too!

Matuk is a very creditable person, I don't have any doubts on the veracity of the information he presented on the video and on his website (http://www.matuk.com).

The first rumors about a Palm Pre release in Mexico where in fact based on a CDMA version for Iusacell, and I don't see why this could not be possible.

And for those who doubt the presence of a microSD card, you need to look closely on the video (preferably at full screen) at exactly 1:50 you will see a small graphic representing what seems to be the microSD card's insertion position to the left of the SIM card slot.

He also mentioned that this particular GSM Pre was a loaner (let me guess... maybe by some Telcel testing engineer?) that he got a chance to play with it for a few hours. He also mentioned that the OS was still a Beta.

Bien hecho Leo!!! :)

Telcel's Pre will certainly work on AT&T (voice and 3G data), if you can SIM Free it first... Which I'm sure it will be possible.

I was about to ditch my money on a soon to be released by Telcel Nokia N97... But now I'd better wait for the Pré... At least it will calm my gadget appetite until Nokia releases a 850,1900,2100 N900 that is... :)

When I said "Are you listening Nokia" I was making a reference to the by-no-means-worlwide-release of the Nokia N900.

Cheers!

You sure mommy can't hear?

Okay then... Fuck off!!! LOL... :)

Darn it... How I hate localized releases...

Why not make a ton of money and release it worldwide?

Are you listening Nokia?
