Palm joins the ‘home of smartphones’

It’s official – the Palm Pre will go on sale exclusively on O2 in the UK on 16 October.

The Palm Pre has been getting a lot of people talking over the past few months, especially since we announced on 7 July that we’d be the exclusive UK network selling it. We’re happy to say that it’ll be available from us on Friday 16 October on any of these tariffs.

All the tariffs come complete with unlimited data built in and that includes Wi-Fi access to more than 7,500 hotspots around the UK.

We pride ourselves on giving our customers the widest choice of phones including the Apple iPhone and the Samsung Galaxy, our first Android powered phone – it’s what being the home of the smartphone is all about. That’s why we’re adding the Palm Pre, complete with its revolutionary WebOS software, to our range. It’ll be available in our stores, through our website and with our sales team – you can register your interest at web address goes here.

We’ll be talking more about the Palm Pre between now and 16th October, including recording some hands-on video of the phone in action, so watch out for that. In the mean time, check out our snapshot of what the web’s saying about the Pre in our ‘What the web says about the Pre’ article.
